About
A reference shelf of Donjon-style tools for tabletop game masters, beside an Azgaar-style archive of one historian's worlds. Free to read, free to use, kept open by readers.
The almanac
Dusty's Almanac is two halves of one shelf. The front pages hold tools — weather flowers, dice, encounter budgets, generators — each standing alone, taking no account, storing nothing, and producing a clean markdown record you can keep, file, paste into your own notes, or discard.
The back pages hold worlds — the historian's own chronicles, drawn from settings visited through the book's power. Calendars, peoples, places, factions, and the campaigns that have run through each. The toolkit doesn't read from the archive and the archive doesn't read from the toolkit; they share a binding and a design language, nothing more.
How it works
Everything you see is a static site. Pages render in your browser from prebuilt HTML; the tools run in JavaScript on the device you're using. Nothing is sent anywhere. Nothing is kept. The almanac has no database, no user accounts, and no analytics beyond what your browser already tells the internet about itself.
The toolkit is built with Astro and a small number of React islands. The archive is built on CloudCannon's Astro Component Starter with bespoke content collections layered on top. Both wear the same illuminated-page design language so crossing from one to the other reads as one book.
The project is open source. Improvements, bug reports, and new tool requests are welcome — see the repository linked from the footer.
