# Game Log

RPGs I've played

## About

This is a log of all the games I've played starting in 2021. I'm keeping this log in anticipation of writing a "Every game I played in 2021" blog post in 2022.

I decided to use recutils for this because, why not.

## Getting Started

You don't need to install anything if you don't want to. You can just edit the rec file.

But if you want to use the TUI, then `npm i` and `just new` (or `node bin/cli.js`) to create a new entry using the interative prompt.

## Dependencies

- GNU recutils

- node (optional)

- just (optional)

- csvkit (optional)

## Considerations

What kind of stuff am I interested in keeping track of?

- Role: Player or DM?
- Format: In person? (Ha, one day.) Roll20/Discord? Play by post?
- Length: One-shot, adventure, campaign?
- Crew: Who did I play with?

## Learnings

check out [doc/learnings.md](doc/learnings.md)

## Recsel examples

- `recsel -e "Role = 'Player'" games.rec`

See `justfile` for more examples

## Todo

- [x] Add types/enums
- [x] ~~tui?~~ run `just new` (or `node bin/cli.js`)
- [ ] add Update to CLI
