I've been using ChatGPT as an archivist for world building ideas. I intentionally communicate my ideas as I would to a friend and it's fascinating to watch our "relationship" evolve. While I know this tool isn't "intelligent", I can safely say it does a better job of faking it than most humans do. 🤠

Back to working on updating Output Templates in GURPS Character Sheet to the new Go Templates engine in GCS. And while I'm at it, I'm working to expand the documentation and provide some much-needed usage examples.

Writing #FoundryVTT macros for #GURPS this morning. I'm particularly happy with this Group Perception Check macro. It's going to be a huge time-saver.

Anyone struggling to find time /spoons to write should hear this FANTASTIC podcast conversation with @sandratayler.bsky.social ! 😍

With work progressing on the Game Planner setup in Wordpress, I've come to realize that Wordpress + ACF Pro + WP All Import might be a good way to realize another one of my long-term goals: an Offline Viewer for some of my #WorldAnvil content.

Grrrrrr. Orbital mechanics hard... 🤠 After all sorts of math shenanigans I broke down and cheated. Me to the moon: "As creator of this here cosmos, I hereby demand that you submit to my will!"

Looks like new Game Planner is going to get built in Wordpress. I did a quick prototype and that worked well. I can also integrate the weather generator I've been building. No more cut/paste for celestial events. Gonna do those calcs right in the Journal. Guess I gotta be a dev again...

I'm using OpenOffice docs to plan/log my TTRPGs. Weekly planner style w/in-world calendar. Days have sun/moon rise, weather, holidays, and space for log entries. Works great for 1 machine. Seeking a tool that makes the log accessible to multiple machines at once.

Plotting out sweet revenge today. Tomorrow an old enemy returns to deliver a little long-overdue revenge to the PCs and one of their allies. The villains aren't the brightest of candles, but they have help. This has the potential to get really ugly...

An incredible project! I'm absolutely excited to play it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/thr...

Setting up automation on the Ruins of Raithneach #Battlemaps in #FoundryVTT via Monk's Active Tile Triggers. Doors that trigger sounds and tile overlays to show doors open or closed, automated traps, and links between scenes to allows PCs to navigate stairs, etc..
