Menagerie.team [tech]

As long as the attribute list is going to stay stable, I’ll start fixing up the other NPC pages to use that. Thanks!

Shouldn’t need to change the existing attributes. May add additional ones later depending on what info everyone wants at a glance, but I think I hit all the high points at the moment.

The bulk of the ugly work is done. Fill in any details you think we might need later, e.g. easily forgotten places or people.

it is it is both awesome and occasionally disorienting to have the players in my game doing all the stuff that I have usually been the one doing for games in the past. Thank you guys this is awesome and I can’t wait to start playing with it when I get home.

Okay, there’s now a Roll20 forum search feature:

http://menagerie.team/search.html

The index is NOT AUTOMATICALLY UPDATED! There’s a script that I run from my machine which does it. It’s filled in with all posts so far, so go ahead and try it out for any post older than this one.

If you know Javascript and Python and want to see the code that drives it, take a look here: https://github.com/astralfrontier/menagerie.team

Oh great, just what everyone wants, a flying spider.

To reward Doyce’s hard work, the right sidebar now has a sorted list of tags. Tags are provided by putting [Bracket] [Words] somewhere in your post title. There’s no hard and fast rules for tags, the search site will pick up whatever you use. Clicking on a tag gives you a list of posts, hopefully sorted in newest to oldest order.

You also have 3 and a half days to buy Menagerie merch. 100% of the money goes to charity, just in case.

I linked this from the menagerie.team site, because we get SO MUCH TRAFFIC YOU GUYS I’m joking. But there you go, it was that easy to set up.

I’m burning so many brain cycles on talking myself out of this shirt.

You know…

So much of the stuff we’re doing in this game - outside the game - is familiar. The wiki, the random image gathering, the supporting tech (as opposed to tech support), even the t-shirts with quotes from the game that literally no one else in the world will get.

All familiar stuff from games past.

But… I mean… so much of that always came from the GM.

And that is just not the case here.

You guys are doing so much that I feel like I’m not doing anything (because, compared to those other games, I’m not).

So… thanks. It’s really fun and gratifying and awesome.

I cannot, in all good conscience, NOT get that t-shirt. Though I would have preferred a mug. (Not that we don’t have a surfeit of mugs, but I have even more so of t-shirts.)

I will, however, immediately hand it over to the family to wrap as a Christmas present, as happens to anything I buy for myself after Thanksgiving.

I’m glad it’s not you doing it in this case because writing a scraper for roll20’s abortion of a forum implementation bled my soul dry, and I’d rather you be in a good mood when Leo stitches his exes back together mentally.

Given the content of the shirt, it had to be a specifically black t-shirt.

So I’ve finally dived into the Wiki. Too much fun, and it’s been a while since I played with that environment.

I’ve been filling out details of the Quill and Chin families.

The “Not Now Jason” t-shirt page got 7 unique visitors and sold 2 units, for a 28.57% conversion rate. The San Diego LGBT Community Center got $24 from us, thanks to whoever bought the other shirt. :slight_smile:

I felt morally, aesthetically, and alter-egolly obligated to do so.

For better or worse, we don’t have in-game video for me to wear it on.

(And roxxors to the SD LGBT Community Center!)
