Official Ironsworn: Starforged rules data in JSON, for use in community tools.

This repository is intended to give Starforged's Kickstarter backers access to game data to incorporate into their own Starforged tools; it has been left public in the interest of keeping it easily accessible (and, frankly, will be of limited use without the complete text of the Backer Preview).

Starforged is currently under development, and this content is not yet licensed for non-personal use without explicit permission of Shawn Tomkin. Once Starforged's development is complete and it is released, a permissive Creative Commons license for non-commercial and commercial projects will be attached to this content.

In other words: for the moment, treat it like you would excerpts from a copyrighted work; please include attribution (e.g. "Copyright ©2021 Shawn Tomkin and Absolute Tabletop, LLC") and a link back to the repository in your project... and drop a link in the Ironsworn discord, because we're excited to see what you make with it!

Due to this being preview content, this repo is fairly unstable! As the game grows and evolves, I will almost certainly make changes in how it's organized. I recommend forking or otherwise copying this repo's contents rather than pulling from it directly.

Dataforged is migrating to a new format that is incompatible with the original format; the format had accumulated an awful lot of cruft, as it was carried over from Datasworn and wasn't designed with Starforged in mind. Features of the new format:

• pre-generated $id keys for most important objects
• wherever practical, it uses the game's terminology to name keys. For instance, the old table row key Description is now Result, while Details has been renamed Summary.
• explicitly defines many values that were previously left to be inferred (for instance, the bottom end of a roll's range is now included)
• detailed information on how to render tables (for instance, whether it should be displayed as a column of another table)
• the typescript interfaces I use for internal typechecking can be found in the src directory; they aren't quite 'drop-in' at the moment, but might save you some time if you're writing in typescript (and can be converted to C# with little difficulty)

The migration will also make it much easier for me to add some future features:

• every CC-licensable icon in the game
• 'drop-in' interfaces for Typescript and C# (and possibly other languages)
• making Dataforged available as a cross-referenced SQlite DB
• making all of Dataforged available in markdown files
• Dataforged-compatible Ironsworn data
• eventually, a dataforged-community-content repo, to make it easy for developers to include such content in their projects

I strongly recommend migrating existing projects to the new format, especially if you want prompt content updates.

If you need JSON in the old format, it can be found in the legacy directory. The legacy folder will eventually be updated to reflect the game at release, but for the time being will lag behind content updates as I focus on refining the new format; feedback on that front is appreciated.

Dataforged began as an unofficial personal project of rsek and continues to be maintained by them in its official capacity.

Thanks to XenotropicDev for allowing me to use TheOracle (a Discord bot for use with Ironsworn and Starforged) as the nucleus of the original!
