Notes, discussions, links, feedback:

• Ironsworn Emacs project code: https://gitlab.com/howardabrams/emacs-ironsworn
• Note that this code depends on my earlier project: https://gitlab.com/howardabrams/emacs-rpgdm
• The alpha version of a RPG Toolkit code: https://codeberg.org/howardabrams/emacs-rpgtk
• Really cool project! - Also the enthusiasm for the topic is really contagious!
• "Every time Howard publishes a talk, I end up doing one more thing in a new radical or literate way inside Emacs - currently looking into how to go about literate snow shoveling for the winter ahead."

----------------------------------------------------------------
Questions and answers go here:

• Q: Where can I get this?
  • A: https://gitlab.com/howardabrams/emacs-ironsworn
• Q: How well would this suppliment freefoxm writing. short novels or novels?
  • A: I think it would be a good start. It is just an org file, so you can go as far as you'd like with the writing.
• Q: Does the current version also have some utilities for doing multiplayer? (either physically or digitally) (since you mentioned, you previously did multiplayer sessions as well..)
  • A: Nope, it is just Solo, but that does sound like a fun idea.
• Q: This game + CRDT (collabrative editing https://github.com/emacs-straight/crdt.git) should be great for non-solo playing?
  • A: Perhaps, I'd like to try it out.
• Q: How does one become super awesome like Howard Abrams??
  • A: "There's no secrets! Just follow your passions!"
    • Seriously inspiring.
• Q: Please talk a little about how you produced such a slick presentation video!  Everything looked completely professional!
  • A: https://emacs.ch/@howard/111506614571155011 "My son helped me record my presentation for #emacsconf and we were able to achieve an over-the-top show that will evoke the feels ... from snickers to eyerolls."
• Q: Does table data allow for recursion?  I have a table that when I roll on it, a result comes up that references another table (e.g. result that returns "There are [random monster] haunting the cavern entrance" and we'd roll on [random monster] and inject them into the result.)
  • A: Yes.
• Q: With your toolkit a list of good books would be nice to be included. example d&d, space, steampunk, cyberpunk settings
• Q:  Hi Howard and Thanks for an outstanding presentation!!! What did you use to create the graphics in your presentation?
  • A: I don't really know. I will have to ask my son, as he did the editing and directing.
• Q: Any plans to borrow tables from Dungeon World, or Ironsworn:Starforged and publish in the toolkit repository?  (https://github.com/lifelike/Dungeon-World-Org-Mode)
  • A: That does sound like fun.
• Q: How has this impacted your imagination on the scenes?  (e.g. constraints by algorithms)
  • A: Yes, writing creatively can be very helpful in many other aspects of your life.
• Q: Your essay/video "Literate DevOps" I consider a classic, and it's really opened my eyes on org-babel and what you could do. Do you still use those techniques at work? Have you come up with any improvements or changes to your workflow?
  • Yup. Still do.
