DSA Bot - Phex's Bote - Phex's Messenger

Phex's messenger is a bot built to support playing the pen & paper The Dark Eye/Das schwarze Auge. It currently supports basic (arbitrary) dice rolls and talent rolls for player characters.

Getting Started

The .ENV File

In order to run the bot it requires a file called .env placed next to the executable with the following contents:

# The discord app token. Do **not ever** publish this token.
DISCORD_TOKEN=your-token-here
# The prefix for bot commands.
COMMAND_PREFIX=!
# The relative path to the character repository.
CHARACTER_REPOSITORY=.chars
# Declares the level of logging to use. Read the documentation for the `log`
# and `env_logger` crates for more information.
RUST_LOG=info

Characters

Characters exported as JSON file can be dumped into the directory specified in the CHARACTER_REPOSITORY and will be loaded automatically.
