Writing tools for TTRPG or Literature

These are not polished, finished, stand-alone applications. These are frameworks you can customize for the fiction you're working on.

You probably do not want to simply run these without further customization. They're seeds for thought.

1. plot.py Uses Tarot card layouts to create a story line.

2. terrain-tk.py, and notebooks/terrain.ipynb Draws a hex-grid map.

3. features.py Creates physical features and descriptions of characters.

4. language.py Implements a specific conLang for a series of books. This includes a few grammar rules and lexicon rules to create words.

5. names.py Uses a list of common English nouns; this can lead to occupation names (think "smith" and "miller").

6. miseries.py Develops human miseries.

7. dice.py a DSL for "dice expressions".

Also, be sure to see docs/dsl-lessons-lightning.pdf for a presentation on the Python-based DSL for dice.

A test suite is available. To make life simpler, install uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/). With uv the various version virtual environments will be built automatically.
