At the beginning of this evening I was sure there was a standardized text format I'd used at some point for formatting rollable tables to be used for randomly generating dungeon stuff. I looked at Perchance, Last Gasp, Chartopia, Hexdescribe, Orteil's Randomgen, Rant and add-ons for Obsidian and VS-Code but nothing felt quite familiar and easy enough. Hexdescribe definitely has the syntax I like most but it's written in perl. I was sure I remembered something that I had used with wiki's for previous campaigns... Maybe something that was markdown based? I almost started writing my own tool and then I realised what I had been remembering: rollable table import scripts for roll20. They're not particularly good, certainly not outright better than any of the other options. That was just what had been familiar. So now I'm left being not quite happy with any of the available solutions and having to resist the temptation to write my own. 😓

Also, reminder, if you have disposable income, set up some kind of small recurring donation to your mastodon instance admin. Most have a Patreon or ko-fi or similar. There's no ads paying to keep the lights on here so help out if you can.

Ok my guess is that the thing that actually brings Twitter down will be the extra load on the systems from everyone trying to use the data export feature as they panic about the ship sinking 😅
