A Pen&Paper Online platform for role-playing games.
The goal is to build a RPG Pen&Paper web app that allows users to create characters and share them in live game sessions. The concept is not new (see D&D beyond, Roll20) but I want to build one that works as a neutral platform that can easily be adapted to multiple rulesets.
I’m using a PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express.JS, React.JS, Node.JS). I want something simple to use that automates and abstracts a lot of the crunchy stuff, without a billion features that I never use. I also hate ads, so this will never have ads. But it will implement a low-cost subscription option to support development.
For my consulting business, I set up WordPress websites and help create scalable and affordable infrastructure setups for my clients on AWS or Digital Ocean (for smaller businesses).
I have a PI cluster set up as a home NAS and am developing my own Netflix-like online media player for my own media (Plexx like). I want to be independent of media subscription services given how they’ve devolved.
The site you are viewing was built with WordPress (because wordpress is awesome) and is hosted on a personal VM on Digital Ocean (I like digital ocean’s UI and customer support a lot). Runs on a modified LAMP stack (Linux, NginX, MySQL, PHP+PHP-FPM).
You might think I’d host this on AWS given what I mentioned about my consulting business, but I actually just really love Digital Ocean’s UX (especially for small projects). They also have really great customer support for small businesses or individual consultants like myself.
In my spare time, I like to do commission painting work for miniatures and build simple websites using vendors like Squarespace (not sponsored) for local shops. I do it for free and start off by building the initial layout, then train the owners in changing the sites themselves. I then pass ownership of the site to the owners and remain available if they ever need refreshers or help.
Current Goals:
- Acquire more funds for my web project $$$
- Build a home lab for Pen testing and recording SIEM setup tutorials.
Some pictures of various projects I’m building for my portfolio, some paintjobs I’m proud of, and my Raspberri PI cluster (I just find it looks so neat):
