Dungeons, Dragons and Functions

" summary

Argues that Dungeons & Dragons rules are a rich domain-modeling exercise and shows concrete results: uses F# and Fable + Elmish to encode abilities, attacks, dice expressions and an MVU UI, compiles to JavaScript and runs a battle simulator. Documents: PHB 316 pages, ~1,000 pages total; project stretches months (five so far), not a weekend. Built a simulator that plays automated fights (example: three goblins vs three wolves) and works for Monte Carlo-style runs, but effects, magic and terrain remain incomplete.
