This is an unofficial repository of references, guides, tips and examples intended as a complement to the and . It serves four primary purposes:
Help Kanka users who are unfamiliar with CSS apply to their campaign that are too specific to be featured as themes in the Plugin Library, and learn the basics of CSS in the process.
Help CSS enthusiasts become familiar with Kanka’s styles and discover .
Propose to work around common problems.
Help would-be plugin makers become familiar with each type of plugin and master the more complex aspects of .
All of this is done in my spare time as both a personal reference to aid my abysmal memory and a learning tool for the community at large. But let’s be honest, no one likes writing documentation, let alone keeping it up to date, so tips are a great form of encouragement if you feel so inclined!
Below are some examples of the type of work I am typically commissioned for. The prices are just an estimated range (in Canadian dollars), which will vary based on the complexity of your request.
Larger-scale projects, especially character sheets, can be cost-prohibitive since we all have limits to how much we can or want to spend on a hobby, and there are only so many shortcuts I can take to keep development time and cost down. As such, I always encourage people to seek out other potential funders for themes or templates that would benefit other users, for example those who play the same TTRPG systems or in similar settings.
As long as everyone involved agrees on the specifications, I am more than happy to collect payment from multiple sources, and even to expand and improve a plugin over an extended period as more people join the "cause".
For quick questions and small changes, you can get in touch with me on Discord (Salvatos#8502) in the ’s Help forum, where I am frequently helping out in my spare time. For more extensive help, you can commission me at my hourly rate. Just let me know what you are looking for on Discord or at salvatos.kofi@pm.me.
I’m also known for developing themes that alter the way some things work pretty significantly, such as and my various sidebar themes. Sometimes I’m able to achieve things that look like they would require a user script using CSS alone, making those features available to everyone who visits a campaign. Just let me know what you have in mind and I can tell you which approach is best suited for it.
If there is a complex topic that is not covered by the Kanka guides, , , or , I may be able to write a tutorial guide for you, given some indications as to what you want it to feature and focus on. I’m not always the best at explaining things, so I suggest you first take a look at my existing guides on this site to see if they make any sense to you ;)
