How to install

As this is not on CRAN and it won´t be for a lot of time, you best bet is to use "install_github" function from the "devtools" package:

• install devtools

install.packages("devtools")

• load RPGtips

library(devtools)

install_github("rpg-tips/RPGTips")

How to use it

The different functions and generators are divided by preffixes:

gme for Mythic-related functions. Some examples:

• Fate Check:

gme_fate_check()

## [1] "Exceptional No"

• Detail Check:

gme_detail_check()

## [1] "Focus PC"

• Actions random table:

gme_actions_table()

## [1] "Attach Art"

• Turning Point:

gme_turning_point()

##      theme                     point
## 1  tension          Into the Unknown
## 2  tension (Meta) Character Steps Up
## 3 personal                Conclusion
## 4 personal                      None
## 5  mystery           The Hidden Hand

iron for Ironsworn-related functions. Some examples:

• Dice roll:

iron_dice()

## [1] "Miss"

• Combat actions:

iron_combat_actions()

## [1] "Attack with precision"

• NPC disposition:

iron_npc_disposition()

## [1] "Helpful"

There are two additional auxiliar functions, roll and roll_table.

• roll allows to emulate any typical dice roll:

roll(n = 1, d = 6)

## [1] 3

roll(n = 4, d = 6, type = "drop_min")

## [1] 11

roll(n = 2, d = 20, type = "advantage")

## [1] 16

roll(n = 2, d = 20, type = "disadvantage")

## [1] 4

roll(type = "fate")

## [1] 2

• roll_table is created to keep results consistent when they are written on an Rmarkdown file, as a workaround to setting a seed everytime we want to roll on a specific table. You just need to set your seed_counter variable to whatever you want at the start of your document, and then call roll_table to roll on a generator and it will handle everything.

seed_counter <- 7777
roll_table(gme_actions_table)

## [1] "Fight Animals"

roll_table(gme_event_check)

## [1] "Move Away from a Thread"

roll_table(iron_npc_goal)

## [1] "Rebel against power"

roll_table(iron_dice)

## [1] "Miss"
