Outre Casus Belli et Ave Tenebrae, je lui dois surtout le choc esthétique et narratif ressenti à la lecture des Chroniques de la Lune noire en 1989 (dessins de Olivier Ledroit).
Première expérience transmedia du #jdr pour moi. Merci FMF et repose en paix.

Excellente lecture BD qui fait écho aux tentatives de sauvetages actuels de données.

To automatically index tags of a #Zotero RDF export (BibO or zRDF) with a two-columns thesaurus, here is a simple Python script.

Not working for very large lib.of references
Be careful with this code
A #JavaScript plugin for Zotero will be welcome and more user-friendly.

Approximately 20% of the TTRPG books (rules, modules, supplements) are using at least ONE of these keywords.

If counting only the TTRPG core rulebooks, the average percentage of books using at least one of these keyword can go higher.
November 28, 2024 at 6:43 PM
After some textmining, the top TTRPG books (rules, modules, supplements) using the keywords "famine", "starvation" and "cannibalism" are :
L5R - Imperial Histories
Deadlands -Return to Manitou Buff
Deadland -The Flood
Aquilae Bestiary
Deadlands -Lost Colony...
