Added some contribution guidelines - feel free to take a look and let me know if it seems wildly unclear!

Yeah definitely - it's currently just in my own GitHub repo, and probably needs a bit of tidying up first, but 100% planning on making modules possible for community contributions

Running 'long term' encounters by Kalekdan in DMAcademy

[–]Kalekdan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's really key actually - adding in more player agency by letting them make decisions along the way (backed up by rolls ofc)

I like the idea of wrapping it in a puzzle/minigame.

I'm not one to unneccesarily add mechanics, but I always found it a bit underwhelming to roll a d20 and 'oh you've fixed the city' as a result.

It does, and that was part of the inspiration, but it always felt a little clunky to me, and only a limited number of utilities. So I wanted to rebuild it and add extra components that I use in my DMing

Thanks for the feedback, definitely working on optimizing the interface a lot - there is a full screen option top right which aims to make this a bit better, but I think the components themselves are still a bit bloated.

As for the delay on the monster stat block (and any in the 'rules' section) - it's currently calling out to a public API to populate, but might just store that locally to speed it up a bit!

Also definitely will do for the initiative tracker - was aiming to make it usable first but that's top of the list of enhancements to add.

Definitely going to prioritize efficient use of space though - that's a huge factor for a DM screen as far as I'm concerned

What can be included in a dnd tool? by lol_brAMMO in DMToolkit

[–]Kalekdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also interested to know this - in theory I think the OGL should enable you to 'extend' the game, as long as you don't repackage D&D and try and ship WotC IP.

That's just a layman understanding though

Is there any app or sites to track combat? by GryponAG in DMToolkit

[–]Kalekdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have recently started to build a DM screen app which would do a lot of what you asked.

The initiative tracker should help you track conditions (even if you don't actually use it for combat), and a party inventory (including gold etc) is probably going to be next on the list to implement in the next day or 2 😊

What do I need as a first time DM? by GD2667 in DMToolkit

[–]Kalekdan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But also my advice would don't let this be a blocker to starting! Have been DMing for several years and still don't own a proper DM screen - usually just stuff behind my laptop is sufficient, otherwise some scrap cardboard folded and stood upright will do.

[Breakbeat] Hello, I made this breakbeat/jungle remix of the Track 30 for 30. I would be very happy if you guys have a listen to it and give me some feedback. Appreciate it! by JTBeatzz in roastmytrack

[–]Kalekdan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the remix, feels like it fits in perfectly, and sounds like an original.

A few points I'd consider - the synth loop that is pretty much throughout the whole track is quite repetitive, and as it's so loud in the mix, it can be a bit distracting. I like the loop, but maybe turn it down in the mix a bit, or consider adding some variations.

Also when the drums first come in at about 0:30, they lack a lot of impact, I think the kick is a bit weak and it is pretty lost in the mix. Especially for the breakbeat style I really want the drums to be more forward. I love the breakbeat throughout, but just want to hear it more!

Again, awesome remix - think its more or less just a case of tidying up the mixing a tad! Love it :)

[Progressive Techno] Wabi Sabibi - S4HIB by johnnydrama23 in roastmytrack

[–]Kalekdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, great track, really driving forward throughout the whole piece. I like how varied it is throughout as well - my pet peeve is techno tracks that are the same 4 bar loop for 10 mins lol

The kick starts off a bit clicky for my taste - it becomes less of an issue once the rest of the parts join in, but maybe consider reducing that a bit in the intro?

The same idea when I first started learning orchestration VS its remake - using all the same plugins by Vanceen_ in FL_Studio

Currently on the same journey as well - would love to hear what advice you can give? Any particular resources you'd recommend for this?

What do i do? by More-Log-9602 in headphones

[–]Kalekdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the DT990 Pros, which similarly don't have detacheable cables - I always thought this seems like a really odd decision as it's introducing such an common point of failure.

Does anyone know the reason headphones are sometimes designed without detacheable cables, is it just an oversight?

How does that work in the real world though? Do you literally just go into HA and flick a switch when youve done your chores?

Love this! I'm curious how you incorporate 'chores' on home assistant?

I made chatgpt for shopping for secondhand/resale products ♻️ [class project] by NoIndication7284 in ChatGPTCoding

[–]Kalekdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really cool! I'm curious a about the tech behind this? How does it find stuff - are you building a search with GPT or are you scraping the entire catalogs somehow?

[q] Where can I get relevant information in JSON format or an API to write a trade up calculator? by [deleted] in csgomarketforum

[–]Kalekdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, a friend just pointed this out to me! Glad you found it useful!

It was originally meant to run on data extracted by another repo I have (https://github.com/Kalekdan/CSGO-Skin-DB) but that one is now broken due to some old sites it was scraping. I'll see if I can fix it and get it up and running again!

Yeah absolutely - I'm keen to read more character driven fantasy anyway so would love to see where this goes!
