UKSTUG Meeting - Maximiliano Tabacman: Electronic Roleplaying Assistant - 27 March 2024

[Giovanni Corriga]

In this presentation, Maximiliano Tabacman will be presenting the main
features, abstractions and design decisions behind ERA, the Electronic
Roleplaying Assistant (

ERA is currently being used to create characters and manage the adventures
of many gaming groups across the world, supporting Navigator RPG, Against
the Darkmaster, Rolemaster Classic, Rolemaster Fantasy and Rolemaster
Unified.

We will review how Pharo allows creating a deployed version that runs
locally in Linux, Mac and Windows, while Digital Ocean and Auth0 allow
running an online server with different user roles.

developed and maintained by the Buenos Aires Smalltalk group, hosted at
Github.
