This little database has historical events, battles, names, and population totals, because those things are the boring research questions you need to answer for Vampire campaigns and similar.

The database is in plain-text, so you can edit it with notepad or vim. But it's also a relational database. Make of that what you will.

Right now it mostly focuses on Belgrade.

PRs very welcome.

@Zagorath I love ttrpgs and I love recutils! thanks for sharing. Never actually played WoD though. Maybe now I will!

Don't thank me, thank @Andonome@lemmy.world, who created it and shared it to !rpg@ttrpg.network!

@Zagorath @Andonome Oh nice, thanks for pointing that out haha. I actually know Andonome from the center of the fedi/ttrpgs/recutils diagram. (@malin this is you right??)

@dozens oh hai.
I was gonna tag you, then tried hashtagging first, then got lost looking at hashtags in Lemmy.

@dozens
I just added recfiles to BIND in case people want statblocks, but don't want to mess with TeX.

Currently they're in the dev branch. Doing make statblocks.pdf renders the recfiles db to a printable page.
