Including the prefixed 1 in 1d6 makes sense because, as per PEP 20, "explicit is better than implicit". Honestly, PEP 20 isn't a bad guide for game design. I should write a Skeleton Code Machine article about that. 🤔

Updated some website branding text for comicalfoods. Every year that passes comicalfoods evolves a lil bit. We used to cook up comics, then did stories. Now its projects.

I'm a writer. I write to do lists every day. I write a lot of worldbuilding. Started blog writing again. Maybe one day I'll write more stories.
