playing in the deep dark woods
There's a -- a thread? a theme? a tendency? pick whatever word works, maybe not one of these even -- in the indie/oldschool/etc ttrpg scene for putting adventures in or writing some setting material for what can best be described as The Deep Dark Woods.

A raven's song
A raven flew across the wasted lands,
ripe with traps and siren calls -
who sang of sweet unknowns,
'let us know! let us know! - we want your soul to own!' - And when the night it came at last,
a twinkling light he saw so far.
Oh, how it spoke with white candour
of a place to rest, of a place to chant - somewhere to land.

Self-Inflicted Markdown vs. Gemtext Pain
My website and Gemini capsule have almost identical content, except for a couple of posts, which don’t fit one or the other. They are both served from the same domain after all, where only the protocol differs.

combat in my mud
I’ve been spending a lot of time playing with Evennia lately. The more I mess with it, the more I like it. Of course, I also find the more I do with it, the more of the stuff I’ve done already that could have been done more easily with other elements that already exist.
I also haven’t been sticking very well to designing what I want it to do first.
Turn based combat was one of the first things I created. Building off the Evennia tutorial content, I made a turn-based combat handling script that gets attached to the current room and executes a basic attack. It loops over participants, notifies them of their turn, and waits for input. Of course, it doesn’t really wait for input, it’s a finite state machine that checks any inputs every X seconds. The x being configurable (“configurable) is pretty loose, there’s a parameter, but it’s in the python code…)

new user!!! woohoo!!
I like programming things, but I usually devolve into procrastination pretty fast.
(I'm also probably going to ramble about some of my projects from time to time, so you guys have fun with that)
