Now with Pathfinder!

As a learning lesson, I built a bot framework to work in the chat system. I based it on the open-source Pathfinder 2e system (based on D&D), and I'm expanding it constantly. Here is a brief, incomplete list of what I have working already. You can now play this at https://chat.insideachildsmind.com NOTE: You must sign up using google chat.

Note: In constant development, so you'll probably get your session paused occasionally while I publish new features. Just join a Pathfinder room and do !help to get the instructions. You can also create new rooms, invite the Pathfinder bot to create your own session and adventures!
