Hi, 

I re-discovered tiddlywili recently (after listening to the changelog 
podcast) and decided to revisit an old idea i had back in 2010 and see how 
well it fits into TW5.
Traditionally this has been done with spreadsheets, e.g. 
https://github.com/Heliomance/HeroForge-Anew, i would like to do this in a 
tiddlywiki.

----
I've been thinking about using the Tiddlywiki as the basis for a generic 
RPG character generator. The idea being that tiddlies are used to fill in 
the blanks of an SVG character sheet "template", which can 
then be printed. 

So before i get too involved I'd like to know if anyone has done anything 
similar, or if it's a reasonable goal? 
----

My thinking on this has evolved somewhat since then, but the basic 
principle still holds. As i see it i need:

- to maintain a narrative timeline - account for level and story 
adjustments to the character stats. I see this as being able embed a code 
or link or something into the tiddler story "I earned a +1 bonus for 
outstanding use of a particular skill" 
- to be able to use tiddlywiki a bit like a spreadsheet. e.g. I want to 
create single tiddlers that correspond to one aspect of the character, that 
when manipulated, will update other related calculated tables etc.
- import an external JSON or similar data source (posisbly from a server), 
to be managed an object/tiddler that can be 'instantiated' in the document. 
Imagine an inventory tiddler, with a selection of default items defined 
already.
- Render HTML/SVG like page/report.

I'm completely new to TW5, not so much to JS. 

What plugins do i need? Is there something like that out there already i 
can use? if not out of the box, but as a reference?

cheers,

Tim.
