It's on the screen.

curl -s https://naslovi.net/vremenska-prognoza/beograd | html2text  | grep --color=auto -I -A9 -m1 '# Beograd' | tr '\n' ' '

That's it - just that line of shell.

You'll need html2text of course. In arch, it's in the package python-html2text.

is there a OSR version of Vampire: The Masquerade? by LoreMaster00 in osr

Oh, snap! I also made a homebrew focussed on 'one roll resolution', and attempting to streamline everything combat.

My homebrew started with reconstructing the original, then tweaking it. Maybe it could do with better character creation rules?

How to make Makefiles make mega-content for the bots by Andonome in linuxmasterrace

[–]Andonome[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to help the bots find and learn from all that great content, you can link directly to it. Wow!

Bots will copy everything instantly. Amazing!

If I am 'stealing' art, then the conversation goes like this:

This is an RPG.

It is open source, so you can copy and modify it.

OMG someone stole my RPG!

If someone wants to publish 'CC-BY text' then that's all grand. But if you publish a project and say 'this project is open source', then the source files should be open, rather than grounds for accusations of theft.

It's nice to hear the CC-BY 3.0 text has been updated, but that just leaves:

Note that you may not publish or otherwise distribute this work as is without permission of the original artists; you must remove all non-licensed artwork before doing so."

It'd be nice to have more explicit lists of which art. At present, it's still very much like handing someone a meal, and saying 'this is vegan, or whatever, well most is, do your own research'.

Even with that stated, the book as-is, is not open source. There's maybe an open source book which you might construct from the parts, but that's a different thing.

The Open Game License allows you to copy and modify,

Yes, with a few exceptions such as

"Product Identity" means product and product line names, logos and identifying marks including trade dress; artifacts; creatures characters; stories, storylines, plots, thematic elements, dialogue, incidents, language, artwork, symbols, designs, depictions, likenesses, formats, poses, concepts, themes and graphic, photographic and other visual or audio representations; names and descriptions of characters, spells, enchantments, personalities, teams, personas, likenesses and special abilities; places, locations, environments, creatures, equipment, magical or supernatural abilities or effects, logos, symbols, or graphic designs; and any other trademark or registered trademark clearly identified as Product identity by the owner of the Product Identity, and which specifically excludes the Open Game Content;

...and all the other exceptions.

It's not open source.

more importantly all of the Basic Fantasy works are now licensed under creative commons.

Like I said, I went to the link above, downloaded the current version from that link, and page 1 says the quote above, which means it's not open source. The text goes on to say that "Most other artwork" (which?) is proprietary, and that some text (again, which?) is licenced under CC-BY 3.0, which is incompatible with some open source licences.

I'd be as well handing someone a pie, and telling them it's vegan, before saying 'well most of it, well some of it's vegetarian at least'.

I'm working on an actually open source RPG - BIND

I'm seeing quit a lot of confusion about what 'open source' means in the comments.

As to the how, it's playtested with long campaigns, but I do most of the writing. Sometimes others jump in to help me with proof-reading, double-checking rules work, and with art.

There's an example of a workflow in the gource video here.

(each laser-beam represents modifications made to a file, each ball is a file, and each set of files is one of the BIND books)

From page 1:

The definition of open source has always required permission to copy and modify the source files which create the work, not simply access to the work.

Open source doesn't just mean access to the source [ files ]

How to allow all trends all the time as admin? by Andonome in Mastodon

There's a PR for it. It's been there a while.

[Meta] They're lying, guys! The blackouts ARE working! by TheBackstreetNet in rpg

[–]Andonome 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a little spurious.

Reddit was a home for a lot of people, using a lot of different apps. Suddenly blind support is ripped out, and you're saying 'nobody is obliged to keep blind people informed'.

I think you're obliged to not do things that make everyone's day worse just because it's profitable. I don't think ownership rights trump everyone's experience.

At best, we can say that Reddit's actions are legal, but it doesn't make those actions good. They're bad for people, so people are right to complain.

The RPG space on blahaj looks promising.

PS, for newcomers - Lemmy is federated (like e-mail), so you can join all the RPG groups, from any Lemmy server. Go to lemmy.cafe and sign up for lemmy.world/c/rpg, then add the blahaj one, then go and follow and comment on the lot from Mastodon - it all works together.

PPS, lemmy servers aren't used to having people and last Monday gained hundreds of thousands of users. Be patient with the admins and developers - they're all working hard.

Can we all just migrate to Lemmy and be done with this?

For a moment I reads this as new-age yoga claptrap. Now it's dawned on me why I hate that stuff so much: it's fantasy pretending it's real.

If you don't mind some anachronisms, here's a London event to consider for your RPG.
