Greetings Brave Adventurers

TL;DR - SCROLL beta is now available to experiment with. It will become the 'modding' tool for adding-to or modifying the 2E generator.

One of my goals is to make HEXROLL 2E as extensible as possible for content additions and modifications.

Hexroll's generator is using a specialized declarative language named Scroll. I developed Scroll specifically for the purpose of generating dynamic entities graph and the content that derives from it.

Moving forward, Scroll will be available as a 'modding' tool for anyone who wishes to add new content to the generator or change the behavior of the existing generator - by coding Scroll modules.

The new beta version of Scroll's online coding tool is now available for experimentation on: https://scroll.hexroll.app

Any module you write will be saved online in a unique URL. Hexroll will soon support importing these modules and applying their additions or modifications when generating content.

Here are a few examples of how Scroll modules look like:
