New blogpost, where I talk about my first workshop, @wren-the-forrester.bsky.social 's latest module and Emergent Design

➡️ thecodedtype.com/the-workshop/
The Workshop My first workshop ever didn't go as planned in a good way, and led me to start thinking about Emergent Design.

I'm having a blast updating the chargen for The Lost Bay!!
Now you can edit generated characters, save/load

And you can choose from 16 Vibes (character classes), most of which are made by the community

The Lost Bay online character generator has now the first 3rd party vibe, the Mermaid by @verdantcore.bsky.social

How cool is this Vibe?
Mermaid by:Verdant Core The sea calls to you; you yearn to return to the surf and the embrace of the waves. This land brings only pain and pollution and you need to escape the past to commune with the currents. You’re a Mermaid, and you serve The Siren. Name: EstebanAge: 21 Calling: Find a way out of the Lost Bay. How did you get the weird: You unintentionally replied to the ghost of a dead relative, who was asking something casual. Offering: Rest underwater Skills: Stars Speed Streets Gifts: Triton’s Kiss, grant underwater breathing for one hour Boon, give someone a piece of good luck (requires an object) Gear: PUNK. Steel chain necklace and padlock, disposable lighter, ‘concrete hold’ hair wax

I started making an online character generator for TLB

thecodedtype.com/character-ge...

If you wrote a custom Vibe and want it to be added, feel free too reach out, we'll add it
Character generator: Scanner by:Iko In your crib, it’s easier to find video tapes than food or clothes. You hack community TV streams, turn them into masterpieces, and bounce them back to their oblivious audience. The most obscure indie production co-ops, film archives, and cursed VHS dealers owe you one. You find reality dull and feast on video like a famished carnivore indulges in fresh flesh. You’re a Scanner, and you serve the Monitor. Name: WhaleAge: 17 Calling: Find a cause to fight for. How did you get the weird: Weird: 3

2/? For the sake of the demonstration I put together this in literally 5minutes. Actually simple, clean, html + CSS is the way to neat and accessible design.

In the meantime, while the world goes to shit, and AI ravages brains, I'm working on a new blog.
It should be live on a couple of weeks max.

I've been working The Lost Bay campaign tracker using Coda. Coda has lots of limitations. But it has some great features, particularly pop-ups, unlimited levels of pop-ups to explore the details/relations of a piece of data. Quick demonstration in the screen capture below.
