Prior to this commit, I experienced the following use case:
Given I have the following code:
```emacs-lisp
(require 'rpgdm-dice "~/git/emacs-rpgdm/rpgdm-dice.el")
(require 'rpgdm-tables "~/git/emacs-rpgdm/rpgdm-tables.el")
(require 'rpgdm-tables-dice "~/git/emacs-rpgdm/rpgdm-tables-dice.el")
(require 'rpgdm-tables-freq "~/git/emacs-rpgdm/rpgdm-tables-freq.el")
(setq rpgdm-base "~/git/emacs-rpgdm/")
```
And I call `rpgdm-tables-load`
And load all the tables.
When I then call `rpgdm-tables-choose`
Then I get the following error:
```
let*: Symbol’s function definition is void: rpgdm-message
```
With this commit I'm able to skip requiring `rpgdm` and thus only use a
segment of the `rpgdm` package ecosystem.
When requiring `rpgdm.el` and it's "child" packages, I encounter the
following warnings:
> Warning: ‘destructuring-bind’ is an obsolete alias (as of 27.1); use
> ‘cl-destructuring-bind’ instead.
>
> Warning: ‘incf’ is an obsolete alias (as of 27.1); use ‘cl-incf’
> instead.
>
> Warning: ‘decf’ is an obsolete alias (as of 27.1); use ‘cl-decf’
> instead.
>

> ‘cl-defstruct’ instead.
Since we've already required the `cl` package, this should be a noop change.
At least, from this historical record as preserved by git, it is.
In reality, this project represents a year of off-and-on development
in another git repository, and has been converted and reformatted
for (potentially) public consumption.
Particularly lacking is the Tables and other charts that make this
useful, but I need to make sure I don't violate any copyright laws, as
many of my tables were copy/pasted from digital books I own.
Which really make demoing this "product" difficult.
While I was at it, I split my "taverns" document into a number of real
tables that I could pull up.
And changing the hotkey to F12 so that it is easier to access on the
laptop.
Oh, and let's have the displayed message contain a little more details
so that when we jump backwards through the history, we understand more
what we are seeing.
I realized that a DM Screen isn't really what I want. If I want
information about a particular rule or the magic school, then I want it
to pop up, and then go away.
A dice table is a direct translation of a gaming table from a book,
where the table has a stated dice expression, and each entry has a
numeric range. Most tables can now be taken as is from published
sources.
Also, if a message from a randomly rolled table contains a dice
expression, like Found 2d8 scrolls, the expression is automatically
substituted.
Finally if a message contains something like:
You found a [wolf/fox/badger].
The displayed message will only include on of those entries.
I have a semblance of code giving me functions to help me run my D&D
games. The README needs a lot more love, but the code is generally tidy.
Time to add some tables...
