+In the frigid heart of Icewind Dale, a distress call has been heard from a mining expedition sent to the outpost of Inflection Point. But this is no ordinary cry for help – it originates from the shattered remnants of a once-soaring castle that now lies broken and buried in the snow. Within its frozen depths, an elder mindflayer conducts grotesque experiments, melding aberration biology with creatures of the North, creating hybrid abominations that defy the natural order.

+Dungeon Masters of the world, have you ever thrown a dragon at your party and found the resulting combat to be repetitive slugfest? Has your game of Dungeons & Dragons been reduced to a dull series of dice rolls resulting in "Hit" or "Miss"? Or conversely, is your dragon way too powerful, forcing you to make it weaker or risk a TPK? Would you like to spice up your dragon encounters with a little more personality? Would you like your dragons to be long-term threats whose actions have far-reaching consequences? Would you like to give your players more choices in what they want to do?

+I’ve mentioned before that I have been using Obsidian more and more, and from a knowledge management perspective, it’s fantastic, with a plethora of plugins that extend its functionality to connect to many external services. But as a cross-platform Electron application, integration with the host operating system is one of the places it fails. As the underlying data store is a folder of files, some integration is possible there, but Obsidian has minimal awareness of changes that happen.

+Markdown may be popular for its simplicity and “plainness”, but it’s often full of information. Whether for internal or external consumption, that information often contains code snippets for running certain commands or code examples. Wouldn’t it be great if you could run that code directly as you read from within the markdown?

But there was a time when other options were available, and I even remember using some of them.

+Installing and updating applications and other dependencies on a computer really should be a solved problem by now. Yet almost every major desktop operating system provides multiple options, with no real clear answer to “which is best.”
+
+Linux, despite long-established package managers such as apt, deb, and rpm, just to name a few, still suffers from confusion and inconsistency between open source vs proprietary instals, as well as between developer tools and more user-focussed tools. Additionally, many package developers don’t even distribute to any package managers, or the versions you find in them are outdated.

+Open source is at a crossroads. For the past few years, venture capital has directly or indirectly paid for many of the contributors and much of the infrastructure it needed to keep going.
+
+That was until the past 24 months or so, when funding started to slow down, leading to less internal development or funding resources going toward open source.
