It's a webapp for building and running sessions for the tabletop-role-playing game Eclipse Phase. But for the record, this app use my conversion of the (far-too-complicated) original rules to the much-simplier Savage Worlds system. The detail of this conversion can be found on a Fandom french mediawiki, since Eclipse Phase is a Creative Common RPG.
This app is intended for the GM. It helps you to create and build new scenario with a limited wikitext language and can stores your images. It also contains a 3D battlemaps manager and a Websocket broadcaster for players, who can watch pictures, first person views on battlemaps and game handouts on their smartphones (a QR code reader on the smartphone could be useful). It runs on local network from a complete privacy.
Though I prefer playing around a table with friends, I miss some fancy features from VTTRPG websites (Roll20 for exemple). This app is intended to fill this gap : playing around a table and keeping the fancy features of computer. Why not using Roll20 ? Well, first all your players must have an account. Furthermore, Roll20 is slow, ugly, old and totally fails when it comes to improvisation. You cannot create on the fly new character, new battlemaps and so on, the UI is built for the long process of preparation before the session. During the session, it's impossible to be reactive around a table with friends.
This app comes with NPC name generator, avatar generator, 3D battlemaps generator, Handouts generator, Love letters manager, and most important : a NPC profile generator for the 7 in-game social networks. Since in game your PC can watch all those profiles in Augmented Reality, the GM have to generate a lot of these profiles anytime PCs encountered a new NPC or simply walk in a space station.
This app can also interface with the InvokeAI API and with PNG generated by Stable Diffusion. With a fancy search engine, you can search through the prompts of generated pictures stored in a local repository, therefore, you can create a profile on the fly during a session.
Eclipse-Wiki is developed in PHP 8.3, served by FrankenPHP (for HTTP) and Mercure (for WebSocket),
stored on MongoDb 6, it's built on Symfony 6.4, rendered with Parsoid by MediaWiki,
3D-rendered by BabylonJS, reactived with AlpineJS, designed with PureCSS and containerized with Docker.
Run this app anywhere with :
$ docker compose build && docker compose upHere are some features of this app :
Big icons for tablet. Keyboard shortcuts (Fn) for laptop. Fully responsive
