@error I figured, if it's so tricky and counter-architectural to batch-process multiple commands, I'd just code up something that's designed that way from the start.
It took less than 10 minutes.
It would have taken much longer to implement the other solution proposed, but luckily I didn't and did it the way I originally recommended.

Plus 2 hours arguing with @Gąska about why it's so hard to do...

@Mason_Wheeler @error since everyone's interested maybe someone (not me) should make a coding challenge topic.

This is true, but I was arguing why we shouldn't do it the way he asked... Honestly, mostly because I was insulted that he thought my solution was ugly, so I wanted to put him in his place.
We talked about it privately. We were both being dicks. I'd rather not dredge it back up.

OK, I'm off to the Bot Testing category to write my own expression parser, with blackjack and hookers. And abstract syntax trees.

@DMBot describe race gnome
-
@Mason_Wheeler
Gnome raceGnomes mature at the same rate humans do, and most are expected to settle down into an adult life by around age 40. They can live 350 to almost 500 years.
Gnomes are between 3 and 4 feet tall and average about 40 pounds. Your size is Small.
Gnomes are most often good. Those who tend toward law are sages, engineers, researchers, scholars, investigators, or inventors. Those who tend toward chaos are minstrels, tricksters, wanderers, or fanciful jewelers. Gnomes are good-hearted, and even the tricksters among them are more playful than vicious.
You can speak, read, and write Common and Gnomish. The Gnomish language, which uses the Dwarvish script, is renowned for its technical treatises and its catalogs of knowledge about the natural world.
Speed: 25 feet/round
Traits: Darkvision, Gnome Cunning
Ability Bonuses:
+2 to INT
Subraces: Rock Gnome

@DMBot describe race halfling

@Jaloopa
Halfling raceA halfling reaches adulthood at the age of 20 and generally lives into the middle of his or her second century.
Halflings average about 3 feet tall and weigh about 40 pounds. Your size is Small.
Most halflings are lawful good. As a rule, they are good-hearted and kind, hate to see others in pain, and have no tolerance for oppression. They are also very orderly and traditional, leaning heavily on the support of their community and the comfort of their old ways.
You can speak, read, and write Common and Halfling. The Halfling language isn't secret, but halflings are loath to share it with others. They write very little, so they don't have a rich body of literature. Their oral tradition, however, is very strong. Almost all halflings speak Common to converse with the people in whose lands they dwell or through which they are traveling.
Speed: 25 feet/round
Traits: Brave, Halfling Nimbleness, Lucky
Ability Bonuses:
+2 to DEX
Subraces: Lightfoot Halfling

What does my size have to do with gnomes?

Is this an internal database of the bot, or is it scraping this content from somewhere?
-
@HardwareGeek That would be a subrace, which isn't implemented yet. And it doesn't look like that ones listed.

@Mason_Wheeler Halfling is missing stout too. Is it cutting off early?

@Mason_Wheeler said in WTDWTF RPG game pre-sign-up and shit:
I'd like one character who is either a cleric or a paladin, staying at an isolated monastery in the mountains, which the rest of the party will visit very early on in the storyline.
Is this still a thing? And has someone claimed it yet? Otherwise I will rather go for this character.
-
@Vault_Dweller PotatoEngineer went for it:
@PotatoEngineer said in WTDWTF RPG game pre-sign-up and shit:
@Mason_Wheeler I'll play the Paladin. With two rogue-types and a wizard, somebody has to take the front line. Combining "the healer" and "the front line" into a single character is, of course, the height of folly, but I am that fool.
I think we've also gained one basic fighter since. Unfortunately, this topic is a mess and the character sheets on roll20 aren't public yet.
-
@PleegWat Thanks
Also, @Mason-Wheeler, what's the difficulty level we can expect? Because I want my character creation to lean more towards flavor than min-maxing.

Moderate. A "joke character" is going to struggle and likely end up dead, but this isn't designed as a campaign for munchkins, and good RP will definitely be encouraged and rewarded.

And here I was hoping to give my Sorcerer 6 Charisma.
How do I create a Character Sheet on Roll20? You can then give me your thoughts and tell me if it's too weak. But don't fret, I wasn't thinking along the lines of a "joke character", just what made sense from a character background perspective.
-

Apparently I have to create it and assign it to you. Are you "Quentin O"?
-
@Mason_Wheeler Yep
-
@Vault_Dweller OK, you have a character sheet now.
-
@Mason_Wheeler Character is ready for review
-
I was telling my daughter about this campaign, fighting demons and saving the world, etc. Then I said something about "whatever the DM has in mind," or something like that, but what actually came out of my mouth was "whatever the demon has in mind." Everyone agreed this was identical to what I had intended to say.
-
So how many total players are we hoping for?
-
I assert that if there is not a frightened NPC kid who freaks out every battle AND is from a locality with a distinctive accent it is not an adequate war campaign.
-

I think what we've got now should work fine. Does anyone else want to join?
-
@Mason_Wheeler I'd love to, but as a self-aware ethical troll, I can't bring myself to bring the harm to the game that I would certainly cause. I will confine myself to trolling the preparations.

@Mason_Wheeler I don't know what that is. A blue person offering, what may be food. It is proferred in a food-like way. Is it... Dippin' Dots?
-
@Gribnit It's a cosplayer being Jester, Laura Bailey's character from Critical Role campaign 2, offering a donut. Jester has a pronounced Russian-esque accent, tends to be a bit of a ditz, and has a thing for pastries.
-
@Mason_Wheeler if they can scream in their sleep, have seizures, and/or soil themselves unconsciously, you had me at donut. Otherwise no. That doesn't even look like a donut.
-
@Gribnit It is a filled doughnut with a thick icing and rainbow sprinkles, held too closely to the camera to be in focus.
-
@TwelveBaud There are 4 lights!
ed. eh, it kinda looks like a donut, maybe
