TheOracle

A bot written with Discord.Net for Ironsworn and its derived games, with a focus on play-by-post games.

Features

Oracle Tables

TheOracle includes oracles tables for Ironsworn, and can easily be extended to include additional tables. It even supports rolling multiple tables at once, and oracles that roll other oracle tables.

Rules Reference

You don't have to lookup rules in the quick reference PDF any more, just ask the bot and it will post the rules text for you.

Progress Tracker

TheOracle can track the progress for just about anything you want. Track short term game goals like journeys, or long term goals like epic character vows.

Game Element Generators

Quickly and easily add things like settlements, and NPCs to your game. TheOracle uses interactive posts to help you create a rich world quickly.

Initiative Tracker

Easily keep track of who has initiative, and who is in trouble.

Localization Support (Full support scheduled for v1.0.0)

TheOracle is written in a way that makes it easier to localize into your native language. Just fork the project, edit the resource files, and add a pull request and you localization will be added.

Commands

Most commands and oracle tables names have shorter hand versions of them, but command clarity is one of the goals of this bot so overly cryptic and short commands are avoided.

Bring Post To Bottom

This is not really a command but more of a feature. Simply react to any bot post with the ⏬ :arrow_double_down: reaction to move it to the bottom of your chat.
