I use Quarto to automate slides creation and output as PowerPoint. You can even use a premade PowerPoint template so that the output slides are pretty much done.

Nice, I didn't know about it – I took a quick look at the templating options and it seems like it might do the job. Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation, Quarto might be just what I've been looking for.

That tool looks really cool! We hadn't come across that one before, but we did look into a lot of embedding solutions back when we were making these kinds of presentations regularly.

I think with Thorntale we're actually trying to take a slightly different route to a solution; being the actual presentation tool is going to unlock a lot of interactivity features that exporting to powerpoint probably can't ever do. Hopefully we'll be able to show some of those off after a few more months of dev!
