This is something no one needed. Maybe not even me. But I did it anyway.
https://slott56.github.io/2026-04-04_another_d6_mechanic.html
The original question was how to make a fair choice from 7 things using only D6.
It got out of hand. I have a "sort-of" solution that maps to the polyhedral dice (as well as lots of other prime numbers and stuff.)

This seems to be what all the cool kids are doing nowadays.

Maybe too deep a dive. I have fun. I can now fix my DSL so that it produces actual correct answers for spell difficulties in the very few cases where this matters.

See https://slott56.github.io/category/ttrpg.html
I've got a DSL that covers a number of bases. The corpus of almost 400 spells all seem to work.
The whole point was to let me unburden myself of the details of a TTRPG world. Now that I've got spells and creatures, I can move forward into magical items and other juicy details.

CW: Python rant
@slott56 I did link the section talking about - yes - the `if-else` conditional expression (explicitly called "ternary operator" in a parenthesized note) as is apparent from the link ending with `#conditional-expressions`.
My apologies for assuming a programmer would be able to decipher a URL in case their browser would not jump to the correct section by itself.

@slott56 @Natascha_Strobl Come on, don't be that harsh. They have a tough life. If you know German you may listen to this song by #Knorkator. They give you some insights into how difficult the life of rich people is.

@ChristosArgyrop @slott56 @Perl @adamcrussell I think a #Perl7 release needs true *game* changes to change minds, like `use feature 'class'` (a/k/a #Corinna, initial PR by @leonerd opened last week: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/20647), plus smaller accepted features with sane defaults: https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/use#use-VERSION
Building and showing off great #Perl drives interest and a cycle of others doing likewise. Fashion is a secondary effect.

Hits hard. I’m a programmer and a writer. I love reading what real people really write. AI slop is so obviously junk.

Real birder I was with found 17. Most by seeing them. Flitting in the upper canopy.
I spotted one (one) warbler that stood still long enough for me to positively ID it as Yellow Rumped.
Much to learn.

About 3 hrs to walk a mile and a half. 0.5 mph. Good pace for birding. Not so good for hiking.
Couldn’t see much (because I’m weak on fieldmarks). Merlin found all of these for me.

Registered. Not signed up for tutorials today. Going to spend time hanging in the hallways now that I found a handy outlet to charge my laptop.

#pycon2026 #technomad travel day 18. Finished my 2000 mile drive to Long Beach.
(Spent lots of days on FFF, fun with family and friends. After all, if I’m going to drive this far, I should see folks.)
