How was your weekend? I love a rainy weekend in the Pacific Northwest corner of America, as it relieves my guilt of doing what I want to do ... staying inside. I read a little, wrote a little, hacked a little ... even played a classic from the 90s (Curse of Monkey Island on ).

I also did a little math. Yeah, been thinking of taking the "Yes, and.." dice mechanics used for luck rolls in games (not sure who came up with it first), and fusing it with Mythic GM Emulator's Fate Chart, popular with the crowd. Since I'm always playing with my notes written in on the screen, I hacked it in . Shared the details in case anyone wanted to do something similar in their favorite programming language.

@howard So much of the community's output falls under "I will never use that but I am overjoyed that somebody made it."

Our ethos is not monolithic or rigid, but an essential component is forty solid years of "Look at this amazing thing somebody made."

@howard awww man that Elisp RPG stuff of yours always looks amazing but I have no use for this in my Emacs 😭

The "1 to 10" scale sounds like it was iteration zero and the text stuck because you don't enter numbers anymore, though?
