Hoardomatic Code: Sample Data


And finally, data. Without the XML files, this is all, in the words of Han Solo, a really short trip. These (redundant, poorly structured) batches of XML are representative of the nature and structure of data required. Here's what they contain.

BulkGoods.xml: Detailed breakdowns of additional properties of bulk goods, notably the unit of measurement and containment type. These include W for wet goods like wines and pickles which must be stored in waterproof containers, D for dry goods like spices which can go in boxes and bags, and N for things like hides and raw fibers which are measured by bulk quantities but don't require containment.
Containers.xml: Detailed breakdowns of additional properties of containers, notably containment type and storage capacity.
Curses.xml: Curses are like lightweight enchantments or embellishments, with a name and a CF, which Items use to modify the cost of enchantments.
Embellishments.xml: Properties of mundane embellishments, including name, weight modifier, CF, and embellishment codes indicating properties of items with which they can be matched. Some have motif code, indicating whether or not decorative motifs are suitable to the embellishment.
Enchantments.xml: Name, cost, and item type for enchantments. Also includes energy reserve value, which isn't actually used in my code, 'cause all of the XML files are automated extracts from the database tables I maintain for my own use.
Gems.xml: Name and value modifier for gems.
Items.xml: As the Item class is key to the code, Items.xml is the most important data file. Lists items with name, base cost, base weight, and one or more attributes indicating which embellishments and enchantments are suitable for use with it.
Motifs.xml: A fairly simple list of decorative motifs.
SupernaturalEmbellishments.xml: List of supernatural embellishments which is called on for some enchanted items. Just a name and CF.

More Nattering About Writing Historical RPGs

omeone made the mistake of asking me to expand on some things I'd said about writing historical rpg material, so you all must suffer for it. I write a lot of historical rpg stuff as well as entirely fictional setting material. So why make historically themed games rather than just making stuff up? Well, because it's an effective way of achieving the purpose of writing settings and adventures in general. The purpose of settings and adventures, I would aver, is to give players things to do in a convincing context. Convincing context doesn't necessarily mean realism. Players have different levels of understanding of what's "realistic" in different situations and are more or less sensitive to how closely those situations adhere to reality. For example, I'm a history and culture guy. Put me in SF campaigns (which happens with some regularity) and the specifics of how reaction drives, orbital mechanics, and subatomic physics work entirely escape me. I don't,...

Stuff I Wouldn't Do With Purchased Minis

One of the great things about the advent of 3d printing, when it comes to gaming, is that it allows me to take more risks and try stuff I wouldn't do otherwise. Take, for example, experimenting with painting techniques. Maybe I want to see what an unusual color scheme would look like or try doing an odd way of achieving an effect. Factory-made miniatures are expensive. Too expensive for me to risk it. Which, as someone who's not very good at painting minis and needs lots of practice, is one reason I've never gotten into them. I don't feel like I can afford the implied expense of getting better. Enter 3d printing. With the right files, I can print as many minis as I can like and mess around with them to my heart's content. Mess one up? That's fine. Resin isn't cheap , but it doesn't cost nearly as much as pre-made molded plastic. I can take it as a learning experience and move on. Which brings me to messing around with some Car Wars minis. I'd been m...

Briefly, How To Play GURPS

For a long time, I’ve maintained that GURPS, despite its reputation for complexity, is actually pretty simple in play. I was thinking recently that I should see if I can express the fundamentals of playing GURPS in a short, easily digested form, and so here I am.   This does not address a more general “how to play rpgs” for those who know nothing on the topic. How to approach GURPS, at that level, isn’t necessarily a lot different from how to approach D&D or TFT or any other RPG system. It doesn’t get into optional and campaign-specific sets of rules or equipment. Rather, this is stuff applicable to playing GURPS no matter what the campaign is. It also doesn’t address how to build GURPS characters, which is a vastly more complicated topic. Rather, this is about how to engage GURPS rules when you’ve already got your character sheet and are sitting at the table to play. It’s a trifle over 1000 words, which I think isn’t too bad.   How To Play GURPS Most of what you’ll need t...
