ppserver is a small flask server that helps to keep track of story lines and characters (NPCs) in my pen & paper game. The underlying data is collaboratively maintained in google sheets.
Clone the repository and run
pip3 install -e .ppserver works of two separate google sheets:
This table lists all characters in your adventures. It should have the following columns:
NameDescriptionRaceAppeared(date of first appearance)Locations(comma separated if more than one location)Keywords(comma separated if more than one)
The following keywords are allowed:
player(this is not a NPC but a player character)dead(character is deceased)
This table lists the relationships between characters. It should have the following columns:
Actor(who is the relationship originating from)Relation(what is the relation)Target(target of the the relation)Extra(additional keywords, comma separated if more than one)
The following keywords are allowed:
bi(draw a bidirectional arrow rather than a normal arrow pointing from actor to target)
Follow these instructions. This involves two steps:
- Creating the certificate json file and downloading it to your computer
- Sharing the google sheets with the email address from your service account
Place the following file at ~/.ppserver.yaml:
# "share with edit rights" link to the characters sheet
character_sheet_link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/edit?usp=sharing
# file name of this sheet in your google drive
character_sheet_name: characters
# "share with edit rights" link to the relations sheet
relations_sheet_link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/edit?usp=sharing
# file name of this sheet in your google drive
