Plot Generator

jQuery plugin to generate a plot with as many sub-level as you want. Each plot level can be regenerated with a simple click.

A Big Thanks to Modiphius for the Achthung! Cthulhu data!

To generate a plot, just do:

$('#plot').generatePlot( plotData, [ 'table_key', 'another_table_key', ... ] );

This will display a random plot based on plotData. The tables displayed are listed on the second argument. Other tables can be used for sub-levels (see Sub level).

Plot Data

The data need to be formated like this:

plotData = {
	'table_key': { /* table options */ },
	'another_table_key': { /* table options */ },
	...
}

Each table can be a data table (with a roll option) or a group of tables (with a group option). Each type of table can have an optional label option.

Data table

'table_key': {
	'label': 'Label display before the roll text (optional)',
	'roll': [
		'A plot description',
		'Or a character',
		'Or a place',
		'Or what you want!',
		'Has many you want',
		'Cthulhu',
		...
	]
}

Group Table

'another_table_key': {
	'label': 'Another Label (optional)',
	'group': [ 'table_key', 'table_key_grouped', ... ]
},

Sub level and value options

You can add a sub level on a roll like this:

'table_key': {
	'label': 'Label',
	'roll': [
		'A plot',
		['Roll a sub level label', 'subroll', 'table_key_for_subroll'],
		'Cthulhu',
		...
	]
}

On last data, you can add ['Escalation', 'twice'] or [ 'Appears to be', 'appear' ]. Both make 2 rolls (and exclude them). The only difference is on render.
