Because loading the tables is now getting time and space prohibited, we
are now just storing the the name of the table and the filename ... at
first. Then once we ask for a chart, we fetch the chart and choose some
results.
Loading the tables is now not a cost issue ... and Emacs more stable.
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...
