We have two today — but we’re considering “upgrading.”

From my experiences with another story telling TTRPG, my gaming group is not good at improv 95% of the time. Any sense of how Daggerheart plays without the players adding to the collective story (or if the GM needs to do it for them)?

While I might enjoy the output from an amateur baking enthusiast—I wouldn’t trust any results from Travis as a self proclaimed amateur physics enthusiast.

Thanks for the info.

I’m looking to minimize my efforts when possible. The more complete the better. I may need to run something else as my interest and time for home-brewing time is limited now. Instead, I’d probably must wait for more materials for SF2e.

Defer seems like it has different semantics and doesn’t provide the same utility as await. Example In zig and go a deferred the function is delayed till scope / fn ends.

Yeah—I meant sequential not really sync code. 
April 20, 2025 at 1:08 AM
For anything beyond a few lines I either format code by hand (!!!) or copy/paste from elsewhere in the file that still formats code correctly.

Seems like a work-around will be necessary for foreseeable future. 🥺

What would be the defer syntax for sync code waiting for an async function to return a result?

let result = my_func().await

I'll be using:

observablehq.com/plot/

I'm not at a point where my project needs it yet, but that's what I intend to start with after my research. There are quite a few that use D3js under the hood (including this one).

Many cross-plat options are missing charting options. 🤷🏻‍♂️

After a similar search recently, I decided HTML/web as the front end offered the best reach and accessibility as many “native” options ignore accessibility entirely. There are of numerous options for charts, etc. too.

I couldn’t find a HTTP Server and SQLite package/library that would work across those OS/CPU options.

Vapor for example doesn’t work on Windows. I think that tracked back to at least SwiftNIO not having Windows support (although I might be misremembering the specifics).
