Do you mean using org-mode to help playing RPG games or to actually play
computer RPGs inside org-mode?

I use org-mode to create random characters and export to LaTeX.
Embedding die rolling is really simple with org-babel source blocks.

The simplest way could be something like


#+name: roll
#+begin_src bash :var diesize=6
echo $((1 + ($RANDOM % $diesize)))
#+end_src

#+call: roll(20)

#+RESULTS:
: 0

# Local Variables:
# org-confirm-babel-evaluate: nil
# End:


(but using a program like https://github.com/sstrickl/rolldice instead
 of simple modulo of $RANDOM)

What do you meant by "creating module"?

Best wishes,
Arne

Some time ago I saw this, which might inspire you this talk in the

While researching it, I also found a 2-hour streaming from the great
