The NPC Generator Has Arrived! Also: New Categories!
Added 2021-09-09 18:04:21 +0000 UTCThis took a hell of a lot more hammering than simple tables that we've built in the past. As I mentioned in a previous update, I had to write a really rudimentary domain specific language for this. Or a somewhat complicated string parser, if you don't feel generous.
HERE IT IS, THE CREEPY NEW MORK BORG AND DND NPC GENERATOR!
I don't consider anything on Glumdark to ever really be finished. Tables, code, content. It's all meant to be updated and iterated upon. So let us know what works and what doesn't.
All of the underlined items can be randomly re-rolled. Clicky clicky!
I think we should build a dungeon-room-generator next. I imagine it could describe all aspects of the room, and the potential monsters and treasure within. And of course it will be modifiable in the same randomized way as the NPC generator.
Collapsing Categories!
Our categories were getting a bit unruly. We like to use wacky names for our tables, but making the category names also evocative meant that they weren't very good at describing what was in the category. So, we went ahead and gave them really straightforward names.
Plus, we implemented new expanding / collapsing categories to make the site a bit easier to browse. We didn't see any bugs here, but let us know if you do. It's not like we write tests for our code.
