A slack bot for randomizing the order of adventuring parties, aka standup.
Sample Use
/initiative Tom, Mary, Gandalf, Tina, Bilbo, Joan
It generates simplified output to you, for easy cutting and pasting into Zoom or what have you.
Frodo, Bilbo, Mary, Joan, Gandalf, Tom and Tina
Then it sends a more exciting version to the conversation.
From a neighboring tavern table a commotion erupts, roll for initiative!
🧚♂️ Frodo (20), 👨🎤 Bilbo (20), 🤖 Mary (15), 👽 Joan (13), 🧙♂️ Gandalf (5), 🧟♂️ Tom (2) and 💂♀️ Tina (1)
Note that character class emojis are the gender-neutral default slack versions.
Most of the documentation for how to build this came from the Slack Python Bolt docs and this excellent gist by seratch.
