The manifest asked for VANITY 0.10.0, but the Forge seams only landed in 0.10.4. Below that floor the seams are absent and every delve emits the 9 chat cards and 3 folders the spike measured — the exact failure the seams exist to prevent. The README said 0.10.5, which was safe but wrong; both now say 0.10.4 and say why. DESIGN.md still described the tool as an unreleased core with one theme. It now matches what shipped: seams merged and released, the Foundry slice at v0.6.0, 16 themes across 5 geometries, 39 tests, the pack validator and the authoring layer. The features pool is motif-scoped now, so the "last piece of generic furniture" is gone. Open questions gain the one that matters: DELVE has never been run at a live table, and no amount of desk validation will close that. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# DELVE
|
|
|
|
An authoring system and Foundry VTT module for the **VANITY** tabletop RPG. Press one button and
|
|
it generates a whole dungeon — fiction, areas, maps, encounters, hoards and a journal you can read
|
|
cold — then drops it into your world.
|
|
|
|
## Install (Foundry)
|
|
|
|
**Add-on Modules → Install Module → Manifest URL:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
https://github.com/slaguru666/vanity-delve/releases/latest/download/module.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Requires the [VANITY](https://github.com/slaguru666/Vanity) system, **0.10.4 or later** — that is
|
|
the release the Forge seams landed in, and without them a delve emits nine stray chat cards and
|
|
three stray folders.
|
|
|
|
* **⛏** raise a dungeon
|
|
* **🗑** remove one you don't want — it deletes exactly what it made and nothing else
|
|
* **⏩** stage a delve you finished at the desk
|
|
|
|
## Also a CLI
|
|
|
|
`core/` is pure JavaScript with no Foundry dependencies, so a delve can be generated, rerolled and
|
|
finished outside the VTT:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
node core/cli.mjs --new --seed=my-delve --file=my.json
|
|
node core/cli.mjs --file=my.json --worksheet # everything, with prompts for what only you can write
|
|
node core/cli.mjs --file=my.json --reroll=3:situation
|
|
node core/cli.mjs --file=my.json --play # the tight, table-facing sheet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What it does and does not do
|
|
|
|
It generates the fiction, the order and the pressure. It does **not** write your read-aloud text
|
|
or your climax, and it says so — those are prompts, not output. It gets you to a strong first
|
|
draft in a minute instead of an evening, then gets out of the way.
|
|
|
|
[`DESIGN.md`](DESIGN.md) has the whole design history, including four rounds of adversarial review
|
|
and two paper playtests that failed before anything worked.
|
|
|
|
## Layout
|
|
|
|
| | |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `core/` | the generator — pure JS, 39 tests |
|
|
| `foundry-module/` | the Foundry module, with `core/` vendored |
|
|
| `paper/` | a hand-written delve and both playtest logs |
|
|
| `spike/` | the harness that measured VANITY's Forge outside Foundry |
|
|
| `samples/` | generated output |
