Have a single listing of +everything, each formatted as a small summary pill. Each pill will have tags +(adventure, campaign, setting, character, journal, tool, and possibly more), and +the tags will be at the top of the list. Clicking a tag will filter results +accordingly. Each different tag could be colored differently, possibly even +doing a multi-colored thing with some cool gradient backgrounds based on the +tags. A pill tagged with character may have a golden background, a pill with +journal maybe a grey background, and one tagged with both will gradient from +golden to grey horizontally. + +Beyond this, need to design the layout for adventures, campaigns, settings, and +tools. I like the journal layout. Adventures, campaigns, and settings will +probably all be similar, both to each-other and to the journal layout. Have an +index on the left, a navigation bar (probably the same as journals), and an +optional picture. Basically it will boil down to the `_posts` being the "meat" +of the section. For settings that's easy, since each post will be a separate +topic, and they can simply be sorted alphabetically. Nested topics could be +annoying, but a "nested" topic approach would also be necessary for adventures +and campaigns. The "tools" layout is probably the easiest, since it may just be +a summary of the tool, and then links to the code/docs elsewhere. Probably +single page, with links back to the site home. + +A "nested" approach to the menu is, again, basically what I already have setup +for the journals. The seventh journal is a good example: it has `_posts`, but +also folders for "lore" and "locations", which are then just listed/linked on +the index. Move that listing to the menu, make the non-post listings show up top +of menu, separate each by a horizontal bar, and then the posts represent the +actual sequential adventure steps. Design-wise, each section could be a +"", defaulting to open, but could make navigation a bit easier. One +additional consideration. While this nested approach is fine for separate +sections, what about the idea of chapters and sections for an adventure. +Example: an adventure has 3 chapters, and each chapter is split into 4-5 +sections, with each section representing the amount of the adventure that can be +approached during a single play session. I wonder if I can have directories +within the _posts directory...
