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

Recsel examples

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

See justfile for more examples

Todo

• Add types/enums
• tui? run just new (or node bin/cli.js)
• add Update to CLI
