In the process of working on supplements and starter adventures for ItDR, I've made a couple of updates to the ItDR Core LaTeX package. Here's a brief overview of the updates since the initial release:

• New environments:
  • \cbox - "Centered" box, same as \qbox, but for short quotes and handouts
• New commands:
  • \pcell - a wrapper of \pbox to use inside tabular cells
  • \roomref for hyper-referencing rooms by title
  • \rot and \iconrot for icon rotation (mostly for the internal use)
  • Starred version of \chapterx command
• New icons:
  • \iconCorridor
  • Various arrow icons
  • Synonym icon commands \iconSun (\iconDay) and \iconMoon (\iconNight)
• Bestiary:
  • \bestiaryPrintAllEntries command now has an optional fields argument
  • Added range printing commands:
    • \bestiaryPrintNamesRange
    • \bestiaryPrintNamesRangeByTag
    • \bestiaryPrintEntriesRange and \bestiaryPrintEntriesRange*
    • \bestiaryPrintEntriesRangeByTag and \bestiaryPrintEntriesRangeByTag*
  • Leech swarm - non-Blast attacks are Impaired
• Improvements:
  • \dimensions now has its "z-axis" argument as an optional one
  • \placeholder now prints out its vertical dimension argument
  • \room command regression fixed
  • Better margins for boxes and tables
