Roll For Initiative
Inspired by this tweet by bubblewire, this tiny script will generate two numbers between 1 and 20, and write the lesser of the two to your "initiative" file.
It's the lesser of two rolls because we're rolling at a disadvantage due to quarantine.
Crontab
The script alone just creates the random number in the file. To make it happen every hour, add it to your crontab
