NOTE: I don't really play D&D much anymore, so it's kind of hard to maintain this without any basepoint. If someone wants me to start working on it again or wants to work on it themselves, let me know. In the meantime I'll keep it up as an archive until I decide to touch it again, if I ever do.

Yendor

An automatic, hackable dungeon master assistant

Yendor is the for the dungeon master who understands that a role-playing game is about a good time with friends, not perfect lore. Yendor takes care of creating monsters, items, NPCs, and a scenario so you can get down to playing, on the fly, without carrying around your weight in supporting books. Additionally, Yendor is free and open source, written in documented, easy-reading Python, so anyone can modify the theme and contents to match your group's play style.

Yendor is in early alpha. Expect many features to be missing or nonfunctional. PRs and suggestions are happily accepted!

Yendor is built to accommodate D20, high-fantasy settings, but can be modified to be useful in other settings. Additionally, if any scaling feels broken, let me know. A big thanks to Robin Stacey, Massimo Baffoni, and everyone who contributed to Microlite20, Microlite20 Purest Essence, and Microlite20 Golden Edition, whose minimal D20 rulebooks provide much of the inspiration for this project.

Installation

Yendor has a few prerequisites. Make sure that Python 3 is installed, and then install PyQt5, either by pip or your package manager. After that, clone or download the repository and run yendor.py, and you're set!
