I have a problem. Well. I have many problems. But I’m specifically referring to this one: I have too many TTRPG PDFs. Not “too many” in the “I wish I owned fewer” sense. I came by these honestly. Through backing so many Kickstarters that they sent me both the T-shirt and the coffee mug.
What I mean is “too many” in the “how am I ever going to find the one I’m looking for” sense.
To make the problem worse, they’re spread across a few different distribution platforms. Because crowdfunding.
My solution, for the last decade or so, has been to download everything to a local copy, in one big undifferentiated folder. Some might call this “not having a solution.” Those people are nasty hobbitses who need to give me back my ring.
But also, they’re right.
It occurred to me recently, in the way that sometimes blindingly obvious things take a minute to become blindingly obvious, that probably I could Build A Tool About This. Lots of what I do these days is build tools. Claude (or Codex, or Gemini, or …) makes this trivial to do, for those who have the eyes to see.
