Chronicler's Companion series
A campaign memory for tabletop groups, which grew out of the Discord bot built to drive the Root Meridian compass.
- Root Meridian Part 4: The Compass Gets a Voice
Building Chronicler — the Discord bot that lets the DM control the Root Meridian from a slash command. Adding a WiFi web server to the ESP32. And the moment /compass east moved a physical stepper motor over WiFi from Discord.
- Chronicler's Companion: A Campaign Memory That Has to Keep Secrets
Discord admins can read every private channel, so passing D&D secrets needed a different design. Whispers over bot DMs, voice notes that catch only people who opted in, and a console that never gets data it should not show.
