 January 8, 2008 - 1:30pm | I took the list from Corjay's document and created this list. If you add the syntax shown to delimit the starting/ending points of lists, and name the table's entrypoint "List:START" then the site will automatically roll on the START table and randomize a result. Look to the bottom of the page to see results. You can do this kind of list system in any design document. You can hide the list and only show the roll result by enclosing the entire series of lists in: <<hiddenbox>> ...tables... <</>> or if you want everyone to see the lists, just let them be visible. Notice that, for fun, I added a second option in the START table "On the world of..." If you choose to do this in your documents, please observe capitalization. The word "List:" is capitalized (and must be) for the interpreter to recognize that it's the beginning and end of a list. Also, don't forget your List:End. Note that I had to actually create tables called "RACE or ADDON" to facilitate that feature, since in fact all of these tables are just big "or" commands. This should work well for random adventure seeds, random character background generators, random planet generators, random creature generators, and anything else the community has to offer. If you make your documents editable by all, the lists of rollable options can grow and grow! {List:STRONGHOLD} {ENEMY} stronghold {ENEMY} base {ENEMY} battle cruiser {ENEMY} war frigate {List:End}
