One of the goals of Rollon was to make it really really easy to create tables. Maybe down the road it'll start to seem like a full-blown programming language too, but I'd like to keep it as much as possible so that if you printed off the table (which is easy to do in TiddlyWiki) it would be perfectly comprehensible and usable to somebody with a pencil and a handful of dice. I should look at it again to see if there are some good ideas to <s>swipe</s> gain inspiration from.

IPad is much more like a programming language, though. I have been using Inspiration Pad Pro from Nbos for a long time. IPad is much more like a programming language, though.

TiddlyWiki is meant to be used offline, which I think is much more convenient for gaming. I just took a look at Abulafia, and you weren't kidding about it being slow. Otherwise it does seem similar in concept. Yes. TiddlyWiki is meant to be used offline, which I think is much more convenient for gaming.

For online generator building there is <a href="http://random-generator.com/" rel="nofollow">Abulafia</a>, which is very similar in function (if a bit slow). Tiddlywiki is for offline use, right?
