Understand if GNOLL supports TTRPGs marked 'likely'

[ianfhunter]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

https://www.ianhunter.ie/GNOLL/etc/supported_rpgs.html shows GNOLLs support over a range of TTRPGs. However, we were not able to find the full rules in all cases. This task is to look at our list and find out if any of the items marked 'Likely' can be promoted to 'Supported'

Describe the solution you'd like

Open a PR changing the icon and adding a reference/link to the rules where the system's dice mechanics are explained.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

hey there can you explain me what do I have to do to check weather the items marked as likely can be promoted to supported

[ianfhunter]

On this page There is a big list of RPG systems. The ones with a "🔼" symbol are "likely supported by GNOLL". However, we were not able to know for certain because we did not have the full rules.

In order to change an entry from a 🔼 to a ✔️ we need to understand what type of dice rolling is used in the game.

• Find out what type of dice rolls are used in the game
• Check if those rolls can be executed with GNOLL
• If we're able to make a decision, create a PR to change the 🔼 to a ✔️ OR ❌with a description of the steps above (what rolls are needed, and if GNOLL supports it)

Bonus: Add a unit test in tests/python/systems for the game

Hey, can I pick this up? :)

Hey, can I pick this up? :)

Certainly! There's lots to do on this one

@ianfhunter I installed GNOLL using pip3 install GNOLL, used the following 2 lines:

from gnoll.parser import roll
roll("1d20")

and this error occurred when I executed it:

Do you know why this is happening?

[ianfhunter]

@ianfhunter I installed GNOLL using pip3 install GNOLL, used the following 2 lines: .... Do you know why this is happening?

It looks like you are using a Mac. I have only tested GNOLL on Windows and Linux (I don't own a Mac). I will try to investigate though!

Another library with this issue suggested that you run xcode-select --install before installing

(https://root-forum.cern.ch/t/cannot-extract-standard-library-include-paths/27494/6)

[oliviacarino]

Ah, no worries! I have a windows machine as well and will run it on there :)

I'll try running that command as well on my mac and see how it goes!

[oliviacarino]

I tried running it on my Windows machine and the module fcntl is not supported on Windows, so I can't install GNOLL :(

[oliviacarino]

I'm going to do the best I can and research some of the TTRPGs that haven't been evaluated yet. I'll add the appropriate emoji symbol based on what I find! I hope this can count towards a valid PR!

[oliviacarino]

@ianfhunter created a PR here! https://github.com/ianfhunter/GNOLL/pull/353 Updated the Adventurer's Guild

[oliviacarino]

@ianfhunter Hey! Is it okay to merge this PR, yet? Just checking since tomorrow is the last day of hacktoberfest!
