In addition to my [Dominion Divider Generator]({{ref “dominion-dividers”}}) I’ve written bits of code to produce more general boardgame related pdfs and provided online generators for them. I was inspired by Michael Kröhnert’s cool chitboxes for the game Shipyard to write a generalized script to produce bits boxes with lids in that style and found a cool card tuckox design somewhere that I used to write a card tuckbox generator.
I played a lot of Dominion and its first couple of expansions when they came out. I also took them to enough friends’ places that I grew frustrated with the inefficient storage in the boxes. So, I built a foamboard insert for my Dominion box and wrote a python script to generate dividers for the base game and the first 3 expansions. Since then, I have maintained and improved this script and added all Dominion expansions to date with the help of a lot of volunteer contributors....
During my Ph.D. I started playing online games with remote friends and both developed and sustained several friendships in this manner that would like have withered away otherwise. One of the games we played was Bioware’s original Neverwinter Nights. I had played and loved the first two Baldur’s Gate installments, and this was a sequel that allowed collaborative online play. I was also learning Python at the time, and in my spare time started writing an editor that would allow non-Windows users to produce content for the game as the game only came with an editor in its Windows version....
