is there an easy, portable way in Python to get input from standard input with a timeout? select would work for my case since I don't actually care about windows, but writing needlessly non-portable code annoys me.
i hope this published campaign i'm running includes a good explanation for how putting the family cemetery in a swamp is not a bad idea so i don't have to figure it out myself.
i did the ludum dare game jam this past weekend and here is the game I made about a raccoon stowing away in a package delivery truck: https://srncq.itch.io/stowaway
Saul (court wizard PC) fails so badly to capture Cador (ratkin PC) that he ends up with the maximum possible level of harm (to be fair he was already hurt from previous conflicts) and is spending all his time brooding in his tower about the insult to his pride
Sidonie (trade envoy PC) convinces Cador not to kill her rival for possibly months until she gets her final payment for intentionally losing the competition to make a deal with the lord they're here to trade with, so he is instead angrily assassinating the rival's secretary
