How do I make Rollable Table results Text more compressed or smaller

Is there to make the text more compressed?
You can make a macro that puts the contents of the table into an 'inline roll' format, like so: *blah blah blah stuff and junk here* [[ 1t [TableName] ]]

You could also make your right hand panel (ie the chat window) bigger by dragging it using it's left hand edge. You will lose map space but if you are running a text heavy campaign it can really help keep things visible.

Another option, if you upgrade to Mentor, is to use something like Powercards to change your font-face and font-size in macro-formatting.

Here's an option outside of roll20 (apologies implied). I'll throw a plug for the Chrome extension, Stylish . This extension allows you to modify the css of a page. Granted, it works best if you know some basic css skills. I use it to modify roll20's forums and the campaign editor. You can change just about every formating aspect of a website. There are "themes" for popular websites. You can modify those or make completely custom css, or use multiple styles together. Very cool.
Justin, are you using any character sheets in your game Some of the character Sheet Templates have properties with very small text (like 5e's {{emote=}} property, which is small italics. Even if you don't use the sheet in-game, you might be able to leverage the associated templates for formatting. I think the best approach is to find some option that is identical to everyone else viewing your game. Pulling out the chat bar, browser extensions, etc, will only fix it for you. Mentor + API + Power cards, or character sheet templates improve the experience for everyone. With the Dungeons and Dragons 5e sheet added to your campaign, where 1t[table] is however you're rolling your table; &{template:5eDefault} {{title=Story Notes}} {{emote=[[ 1t[table] }} Will generate a text box about half the size of the original.

Does it have to be 5e? I'm running with GURPS right now (although very lite). This is a function of the DnD5e character sheet so I can assume GURPS wont have it?
Correct. Though it may have something similar eventually, the two Gurps character sheets don't look like they've implemented roll tables yet. The default template that is available to all systems won't be any better than just rolling it inline(the template actually takes MORE space, if only a little) : &{template:default} {{name=Story Update}} {{ [[ 1t[table] ]]}}
