comrades-data

Comrades: A Revolutionary RPG Data

A NodeJS project to put all Comrades RPG's data into a JSON file and an npm module, using the framework provided by Vindexus's Dungeon World Data Project.

Raw vs Basic

The raw JSON file includes the unparsed handlebar helpers such as Take +1 forward to {{move 'take_a_risk'}}.
The basic JSON file has had those parsed through basic helpers, so it would become Take +1 forward to Take A Risk.

Getting the Module

npm install comrades-data

Example Code

var crpg = require('comrades-data')
console.log("Brute Description: " + crpg.basicData.playbooks.brute.description)

Compiled from Source

The JSON is compiled from the files and folders in the source folder using the npm module written by Vindexus called rpgparser-data.
