Prop Press

One HTML file, works offline, tabletop game tools

Coming soon Working name

Newspapers, letters, wanted posters and more for your tabletop game, ready to print.

Prop Press in a browser: a form on the left for choosing a prop, style and paper size, and on the right a sample front page with a blackletter masthead and the headline Prize Goat Vanishes on the Eve of the Harvest Fair. — A newspaper front page, filled in with Prop Press's own sample text. This is the free demo build.

Where it stands

Feature-complete for a first release. Before it goes on sale it needs a print test on real paper, a live Foundry import, signing keys, a name check and the legal text.

Prop Press makes newspaper front pages, sealed letters, wanted posters, bounty boards, shop receipts and annotated maps for your game, each in two styles. Fill in a short form, watch the page update as you type, then print it, save a PNG or send it to Foundry VTT. The whole thing is one HTML file that works offline.

Who it's for

Game masters who want handouts that look like they belong in the world, without desktop publishing software or a subscription.

What it does

Six props, two styles each: newspaper front page, letter or sealed note, wanted poster, bounty board, shop receipt, and map with notes.
A form for each prop with character counters and a live preview of the real page.
US Letter and A4, with a fit check that names any field that will not fit before you print.
Print or save as PDF, PNG export at any width with alt text to copy, and a Foundry VTT journal export.
Project files that save and reopen a prop, images included.
A readable mode (clear serif, dark ink, plain paper) for players with low vision or dyslexia, light, dark and high contrast themes, and full keyboard use.
Template packs that are signed by their maker, checked on your device and never able to run code.

More screenshots

A letter prop in Prop Press: a lighthouse keeper's letter in a script heading and serif body on aged paper, signed with a flourish and closed with a red wax seal. — A formal letter with a wax seal.

A frontier-style wanted poster on torn, weathered paper for a goat thief named Jory Thrush, with a silhouette where the portrait goes, a list of crimes and a reward in silver marks. — And a wanted poster, because somebody has to answer for that goat.

What it keeps, and where

Nothing you make leaves your device. There is no account, analytics, telemetry, ads, crash reporting or remote fonts, and the page's security policy blocks every network connection.

Network use: Update check (on by default, and you can turn it off).
What reaches Lanternwright: Nothing.
