System Notification Style Kit
Set a consistent voice and format for every message in your series.
1 · The style
Decide how your system speaks
Start from an example, all fictional
ExampleFictional, made up for this page. Change anything and the batch updates as you type.
See the batchHow your system sounds, in your own words. It goes at the top of the template pack, so new messages have something to match.
Labels
Length
Label, headline, and details. Anything hidden stays in your project file, but not in the messages or the template pack.
2 · The templates
Write each message once
Put curly braces around anything that changes, like {level}. A box for its value appears under the message. Fill-ins with the same name share one value.
Values for this message
Headlines and curly braces look complete
This only looks for missing headlines and unfinished curly braces. It cannot judge how your system sounds.

Approximate preview. Real destinations apply their own fonts and spacing, and this tool has not been checked in any of them, so try one message in your destination's own preview.
Keep the kit
The template pack holds your house rules, templates, and filled examples.
Credit and caption
Messages, plain text, and Markdown never carry it. Wherever you publish the page, the link is yours to keep or remove.

Where this lives
Nothing is uploaded and there is no account or share link, so your wording never ends up in a URL. Your kit stays in this browser, which is not a backup: clearing browser data or changing device loses it. Save project downloads a file you can keep and open here again. That file also holds any lines your current length hides, so send other people the template pack instead. Loading an example or starting blank clears the browser copy.
Reuse it chapter by chapter
Keep the project file with your series notes. When a message comes up, open the file here, change the values, and copy that one message. The wording and format stay the same from the first chapter to the last.
Where each copy goes
Copy text works anywhere you can type. Copy HTML pastes into a source view or a rich-text editor. In the Royal Road chapter editor that is the <> button. The template pack is for your notes, or for a co-writer who needs to match the voice.
Why plain lines
Authors report tables breaking on the way to Kindle and phone apps, so these messages use only line breaks, bold, and italics. That leaves less to lose, not nothing, so check one in your destination. When one message earns a colored box, use the blue box generator.
Questions about this tool
Will this write my system messages for me?
No. You write the wording, and the kit keeps it in one format across level-ups, quests, warnings, and item finds. Line style, label case, and length are simple rules applied to your own text, so nothing here makes up new lines. The examples are invented, so replace them with your system's words.
How is this different from the blue box generator?
The blue box generator builds one finished box with colors. This kit sets the rules for a whole series: reusable templates with fill-ins, four message types side by side, and a pack you can keep with your notes. Decide how messages read here, then take a single finished message to the blue box generator if you want it in a colored box.
Will these lines look the same on Royal Road, Patreon, and Kindle?
No tool can promise that, and this one has not been checked in a real destination. Messages use plain text, bold, italics, and line breaks, with no tables or colors, so there is less to lose. Each platform still applies its own fonts and spacing, so paste one message into the destination's own preview before you rely on it.
Where is my kit saved?
In this browser's storage on this device. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. That copy can disappear if you clear site data, and a private window may not keep it, so it is a convenience and not a backup. Save project downloads a JSON file you can keep and open here again. Loading an example or starting blank clears the browser copy.
Can I import a kit into WriteIDE?
No. The desktop app does not read these project files, and the project file only reopens in this tool. In WriteIDE, /bluebox inserts a system message into a scene, and you carry your wording over by hand.
