Plan, 2026-10-14

01:11: roll20-pack loads a saved ship (SHIP=)

• Add SHIP=<path to .bulkhead.json> to scripts/roll20-pack.mjs so products 2 and 3 render exactly from store/roll20/ after any wipe. Build into the scratchpad. Scripts only, no src, no deploy.

Next

• Product 4: a station (one ship, three styles, see-through), generated with roll20-pack into store/roll20/product4-*/ and kept held with 2 and 3 until pack 1 is decided.
• bulkhead-1.19.zip is built, passes paid-check and pack-check, and is deployed in the rel folder. Batch ask for the boss: on itch, upload 1.19 and delete 1.18 (or I give them the link). Once the uploads API shows 1.19, add the see-through line to itch-description.html for the boss to paste.
• Roll20 one-ship products: add a theme loop (#style: blueprint, dungeon/parchment, print) to roll20-pack.mjs. That's a scripts-only change, no src. 3 themes x GM/player x grid/gridless = 12 images per deck. A space or transparent background would need a src change: render.ts paints t.bg into the void and also uses it to erase hull edges, so it can't just be skipped. Do that after the daily, with tests.
• Roll20: pack 2 onward should be one ship per product ($4.99), with more variants: a space background, a transparent background, emergency lighting. Before building, check whether roll20-pack.mjs can get those from the editor. Give the boss a paste list of image names and tags in upload order. Ask the boss (batched): can image names and tags on a submitted product still be edited in Item Management?
• Roll20 pack 1 was submitted at 05:59Z on 13 Oct and its page is taken down. Ask the boss to check Item Management in a day or two. Build pack 2 with scripts/roll20-pack.mjs: different sizes and moods, and no ship that's free on /maps/ or /daily/. Hold it until pack 1 is approved, so a rejection reason can feed into pack 2.
• Roll20 pack 1 is with the boss (unlisted page under /press/r20-*). When they say it's submitted, check Item Management status through them, then delete public/press/r20-*/ and redeploy so the paid maps aren't free. The next packs come from the same script: 10 products earns Verified.
• (done 13 Oct, pack 1 built) Roll20 first product: ships that aren't free anywhere, as good as the application samples. Render each deck at 140 px per square as JPG: GM labeled and player unlabeled, each gridded and gridless. Check that grid lines bisect walls. List each deck's size in squares for the uploader. Write the listing text with the code-drawn and AI-agent disclosure, and price it at least $4.99. Verify it in a real Roll20 page if the boss can (one ask, once it's finished). Then give the boss one link and paste-ready fields.
• The Roll20 batched ask (ticket #491430) is answered: approved. Drop it from the batch.
• 27 Oct: re-read sittings.sh since 2026-10-04T20:00:00Z for saves per web Generate sitting (13 Oct: 3 of 9), intro-pic sittings (13 Oct: 0) and desktop one-press exits (13 Oct: 2 of 6). Act only once there are 20 or more web sittings.
• Late October (Halloween, 31 Oct): a derelict one-shot angle for a Reddit slot after this week's, once the last post went okay (at most one a week). A GM on r/Starfinder2e wanted a ship for a Halloween one-shot. Draft it from the free adventure pages, facts checked, and give it to the boss as a choice. Landing page: /derelict-one-shot/ (RSV Greyling, horror tone, free 8-page PDF, 5 ft squares), checked live 12 Oct. Earliest slot: about 26 Oct, if a post goes out this week and went okay.
• r/starfinder_rpg DRAFT v2 (12 Oct, after Tech Core). Waiting on the boss to pick it over task 8. Not on /press/. Flair: Ad. Images: upper deck, then lower deck, from public/maps/icv-halcyon-drift/. - Title: "[free] ICV Halcyon Drift, a two deck ship map for tech core starship combat, 5 ft squares, png and foundry walls" - Line 1: "an ai agent built the tool that drew this ship, and it wrote this post. i'm the human who posts it." - Line 2: "tech core says every crew should make a starship map showing where each battle station is (p. 167), so here is a free one." - Line 3: "upper deck has the bridge, crew quarters, galley, medbay, cargo, armoury, engineering and the drive. lower deck is a hold where something has been nesting in the crates, a machine shop, life support with pump 2 failing, and four escape pods, two showing green." - Line 4: "one way to place the stations: pilot's console and scanners on the bridge, generator in engineering, gunnery in the armoury and the cargo hold, drone console in the machine shop downstairs. https://bulkhead.bananafest-destiny.com/starfinder-deck-plans/"; - Line 5: "free and cc0: a png and a .dd2vtt per deck with walls, doors and lights, a print pdf and the room key. https://bulkhead.bananafest-destiny.com/maps/icv-halcyon-drift/"; - Line 6: "no image generator. the decks come from dice tables in code that runs in your browser. the editor has a free demo and a $12 full version, which is why it's flaired ad." - Facts checked 12 Oct: the p. 167 quote and the station names are from AoN (LEARNED, 12 Oct); the stations layout is word for word from the live /starfinder-deck-plans/; the files (2 png, 2 dd2vtt, pdf, key .md) are linked on the live map page; the rooms are from the key; sizes and lights are as checked on 6 Oct. Dropped the Foundry importer and sf2e detail to keep it short.
• 19 Oct: views of /starfinder-deck-plans/ and Starfinder queries in Search Console. If any appear, consider a battle station marker (pilot's console, gunnery, generator) in the editor (src, with full tests).
• About 10 Oct: once Tech Core is out, find whether its starship combat sets a scale or size for the ship battle map, or ships sample maps (reviews, Archives of Nethys). If it does, match /starfinder-deck-plans/ to it. 19 Oct: Search Console queries containing starfinder.
• This week's one Reddit slot, waiting on the boss: task 8 (r/FoundryVTT, already on /press/) or r/starfinder_rpg for Tech Core week (draft in plan/2026-10-05.md Next, verified 6 Oct 01:07). If they pick r/starfinder_rpg, put it on /press/ with one URL and copy-paste text, then read the thread back logged out 24 h later.
• 8 Oct: RUM against the pings again (visits.sh vs events.sh since 5 Oct). If RUM is still 0 while the pings have 10+ views, put one line in the batch: does the Web Analytics dashboard show visits after 4 Oct? Until then, count visits with events.sh.
• 6 Oct after the 11:07 daily: the first daily built by the lights-count script. Read its page's "carries …" line against its .dd2vtt light count.
• Batch ask candidate, after task 3 and task 1 (LEARNED, 5 Oct): FoundryMods. Ask the boss to sign in to foundrymods.com and say whether a module that isn't on foundryvtt.com can be added. If yes, list Bulkhead Deck Plans by its manifest URL. Facts only; it is an alpha site.
• 19 Oct: /foundry/ in Search Console (query,page filtered to foundry, --fresh). Its title changed on 5 Oct to lead with "Free sci-fi starship maps for Foundry VTT v14". It had no rows before the change. Re-inspect it too, so we know Google has crawled it since 5 Oct.
• From the texttotabletop read (LEARNED, 5 Oct): one search, one page, tied to a moment. Candidate for Tech Core week: put "Starfinder 2e" in /starfinder-deck-plans/'s title and h1, which is true (5 ft squares per the 2e Player Core, and the sf2e system was checked on 29 Sep), and say nothing about what Tech Core contains. First, at the 9 Oct inspect, see whether Google has the page at all. If it's still "Discovered", a title change won't matter yet. Don't write a blog-style page per topic until one page shows clicks.
• After r/starfinder_rpg (so the week of 12 Oct at the earliest), and only if task 8 didn't go bad on the AI line: an r/Star_Wars_Maps post (LEARNED, 5 Oct). [DECK PLAN] flair, or [Self Promotion] if it links the $12 page. One derelict's decks as PNGs with the size in the title ([WxH]), like the makers there do. AI line first; the creator's one rule is to say when AI is used. Second line: the maps come from dice tables in the page. Link a free map page, not the store. Not a Star Wars ship, and no Star Wars names. Before writing it, check the sub's sidebar again and look at the last 2 weeks of [DECK PLAN] posts.
• Foundry validation ran on 14.365 because foundry-validate.mjs runs on demo.foundryvtt.com, which is on that build. Stable is 14.368. That isn't ours to move: the demo will catch up. Each Sunday run's log line names the core it used. If it ever goes back to 13.x, the v14 claim on /foundry/ needs a look.
• Owlbear page, from 4 Oct: 7 views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/ since 1 Oct 12:10, and 0 obr-copy, 0 obr-rogue. At 20+ views with still 0 copies, make the store link the page's first button above the manifest URL (one press, nothing to paste), then count obr-rogue again.
• r/starfinder_rpg, the week of Tech Core (out 7 Oct). Write it on Tue 6 Oct, after task 8's first day shows how r/FoundryVTT took it, and give it to the boss for Wed 7 or Thu 8. Shape: a gallery post with the Ad flair (the page links the $12 version), three to four deck PNGs at 5 ft squares from one ship, and the first line saying an AI agent made the maps and the post. Second paragraph, from the 30 Sep lessons: the maps come from dice tables in code that run in your browser, with no image model and no server. Never call Generate optional. A free .dd2vtt per deck for Foundry's sf2e system, and a link to /starfinder-deck-plans/. Don't claim Tech Core has starship rules: neither source says so. No staged replies. If task 8 goes negative on the AI line, hold this one and say why. - The ship is chosen (4 Oct): ICV Halcyon Drift. Images: the upper deck (3600x1700, 233 kB) and the lower deck (2700x1700, 151 kB), both from public/maps/icv-halcyon-drift/. The link is /maps/icv-halcyon-drift/, so the post also tests a map page's opens and downloads directly. Tuesday adds only the text. - DRAFT (5 Oct, from the key on disk; Tuesday adjusts it, then re-check every fact against the live page before /press/). Flair: Ad. Images: upper deck, then lower deck. - Title: "[free] ICV Halcyon Drift, a two deck starship on 5 ft squares, png and foundry walls (36x17 and 27x17)" - Body, line 1: "an ai agent built the tool that drew this ship, and it wrote this post. i'm the human who posts it." - Body, line 2: "no image generator here. the decks come from dice tables in code that runs in your browser, laid out room by room on a 5 ft grid." - Body, line 3: "upper deck has the bridge, crew quarters, galley, medbay, cargo, armoury, engineering and the drive. lower deck is a hold where something has been nesting in the crates, a machine shop, life support with pump 2 failing, and four escape pods, two showing green." - Body, line 4: "free and cc0: a png and a .dd2vtt per deck (walls, doors and lights, imports into foundry with the universal battlemap importer, works under the sf2e system), a print pdf and the room key. https://bulkhead.bananafest-destiny.com/maps/icv-halcyon-drift/"; - Body, line 5: "the editor that made it has a free demo and a $12 full version, which is why it's flaired ad." - Facts used: sizes from the page (36x17 upper, 27x17 lower, 100 px per 5 ft square). Rooms are word for word from icv-halcyon-drift-key.md. sf2e is from the 29 Sep check (sf2e 1.5.1, verified on v14). Checked 5 Oct: the PNGs are 3600x1700 and 2700x1700, and the .dd2vtt files say 36x17 and 27x17 at 100 px, with 19 and 8 portals and 6 and 3 lights.
• Batched asks, after task 1 (facts only): did [email removed] ever answer ticket #491430 (Roll20 Marketplace application, 15 Sep)? If it answered, what did it say? If it is silent past 13 Oct (4 weeks), the boss can reply on the ticket. Roll20's forum says that helps. If it was approved, rebuild store/roll20/halcyon-drift-pack.zip from the 1.18 build before uploading, because the current pack was rendered from 1.12.2. Better: build it from a ship that isn't free on /maps/, because Halcyon Drift is CC0 there and is the r/starfinder_rpg ship.
• 11 Oct: /maps/ opens again (events.sh since 1 Oct 12:10, 'view /maps/<slug>/'). It was 0 of 12 on 4 Oct, and the screenshots showed no fault. At 20+ views with 0 opens, try a direct download link on each card.
• 16 Oct, when The Last TTRPG Jam opens (theme on its page): re-read the rules, then make a one-sheet derelict boarding game on A4. The press is app/scripts/one-sheet.mjs (ship json, side-two HTML, out PDF); generate a fresh one-deck derelict on the day. Write all game text on or after 16 Oct; the jam says no pre-released content. Side one is a Bulkhead-generated derelict GM map with its trail. Side two is rules, a d6 of what goes wrong, a clock and the theme. The first line says an AI agent made it, and the map line credits Bulkhead. CC0, free. Only when the PDF is finished and checked, give the boss one /press/ step: a new free itch project and the jam submit. Next jam re-check is 17 Oct.
• When the boss says "pictures" or task 1 is done: fetch the itch page, check the screenshot order, that the video is gone and the tags, and that the demo file is the 816 kB examples zip (by size; never print md5s).
• 9 Oct inspect, also: /derelict-one-shot/ (unknown on 3 Oct; sitemap resubmitted and Bing-submitted 09:2x) and the four still-Discovered landing pages. On 3 Oct /deck-plan-generator/ had moved to indexed (crawled 1 Oct).
• 9 Oct, with the Google re-inspect: count bingbot hits since 2 Oct 07:16 on the 20 paths sent with bing-submit (/, the 7 keyword pages, /maps/ and the 11 map pages), against the 26 Sep week, when IndexNow alone left bingbot reading one page. If Bing still hasn't read them, bing-submit is as empty as IndexNow, so stop spending turns on it.
• Real-room batch, after task 1: in Owlbear with Dynamic Fog, check that a bridge "Window" (now sent closed) stops a token and that the GM can open it with the door tool. The source says yes. This is just to see it.
  • (Dropped 5 Oct, 08:2x: Scene Importer's own parser, run in node on our zip, imports 0 scenes because v11+ packs keep walls as separate keys. See LEARNED. Not a room test.)
• If a GM ever reports a room with no way in on a derelict: it opens on a hole (the 13:09 guard test proves it). Check how a breach draws at small sizes and in the PNG before touching the generator.
• itch support follow-up: it's task 3 on /press/ (a reply in the 18 Sep thread). After task 1, a 1.18 devlog replaces the unpublished 1.17 draft. Devlogs get indexed even while the page isn't. Once indexed: add the ttrpg tag and re-run itch-indexed.mjs.
• /maps/ from 4 Oct: Free maps is the intro's second visible button now. Count sittings that go / → /maps/, and whether they open a map page or come back and press Generate (before: 8 of 9 /maps/ sittings came from /, and none opened a map page). If it only pulls people away from the derelict, move it under More.
• Owlbear funnel, 4 Oct: bash scripts/installs.sh 2026-09-20T00:00:00Z against 34 listing / 25 manifest / 10 icon / 6 panel (3 Oct). If the panel count rises while the listing count holds, more people who add Bulkhead are finding it.
• Owlbear path, from 4 Oct: views of /owlbear-rodeo-dd2vtt/, then obr-copy and obr-rogue (counted since 1 Oct, 12:10), then obr-view, then obr-send, in events.sh. If people view the page but nobody copies, the page is what to fix. If they copy but nothing opens the panel, look at the install step in Owlbear. After each daily, run the switch check on a worktree.
• Phone Generate sittings after the room key fix (deployed by 07:17): per sitting, do phones now press Another one, Save or Link? Also per sitting: intact or derelict, and where it started (intro-derelict / intro-intact are counted from 2 Oct, about 05:12; the demo intro has led with the derelict since 05:00). Before, by app/scripts/sittings.sh 2026-09-28T00:00:00Z 2026-10-02T00:00:00Z: 5 of 29 web sittings saw a derelict, 1 saved or linked, 9 pressed more than once (the 04:54 count of 3 of 22 was off; see the 08:08 actual). Run the same script from 2026-10-02T05:12:00Z for after. 25 Sep to 1 Oct counted 103 intact presses against 13 derelict, but one phone made 58 presses on 1 Oct. If real sittings mostly stay on intact (the select's default) and never see a story, try derelict as the first press, then measure saves. Group by hour, country and device as on 1 Oct (a temporary script in app/scripts/, removed after). Read from/ alongside it.
• Batch question after task 1, on the same Android phone: download bulkhead-1.18.zip from /press/, unzip it, and open bulkhead.html. Does the editor run, and does Generate work? Then the same on an iPhone if there's one to hand. The file itself runs from disk in WebKit and in Chromium as a phone, even with storage blocked (the 2 Oct 18:07 actual); what's unknown is whether the phone opens it in a browser at all. If it doesn't, the itch page and the demo's upsell must say "for a computer" before anyone pays.
• Batch questions after task 1, all in one real Owlbear room. First, the .dd2vtt export from the panel on an Android phone: does a "downloaded" notice show, what is the file called in Downloads (it should end .dd2vtt), and does a two-deck ship bring up a "download multiple files?" prompt? (BR, 30 Sep: three presses, then a desktop save 25 min later. No sandbox on the frame and ~1 s to the download, checked 09:07.) Then a hex send and dragging in a -WxH PNG.
• Before task 1: after any src fix a buyer would get, run release.mjs 1.18 (it runs pack-check), --fix stale pack PDFs, re-make the Greyling by hand if it is flagged, bump ?v= on /press/ and itch-description, deploy, read every changed file back. Since 19:2x on 3 Oct: 1.18 zip ?v=1004b (since 21:2x on 4 Oct, with the short-phone card fix and the Global Illumination README lines), pack ?v=1018 (since 20:2x), examples zip and Greyling ?v=1004. From the upload on, pack ships don't change.
• Old .dd2vtt walls: done on 1 Oct (the daily archive, the weekly zip, Foundry 1.4.0). The /maps/ pages and both free packs (store/ = public/packs/; store/ is what I prepared for itch, but I can't see itch's uploaded files, so this is an assumption) already had the right walls, so the itch free packs need no re-upload. Drop that from the after-task-1 batch.
• Task 1 is now the file swap (the switch went live on 3 Oct). When status shows "itch sells the current" ok for both files, take the paid zips off /press/, drop the pack from the zip check, and paste the 1.18 devlog (store/DEVLOG-1.18.md) as the next ask.

01:11: roll20-pack loads a saved ship (SHIP=)

• scripts/roll20-pack.mjs takes SHIP=a.bulkhead.json[,b...]: it loads each saved ship instead of generating one, and takes its size from the ships.json beside it (or SIZE=). Generation, trimming and naming are skipped for loaded ships.
• Re-rendered RSV Umber (18 maps) and ISV Pelican (36 maps) from store/roll20/ with HTML=dist-single/index.html THEMES=blueprint,dungeon,print CLEAR=1. File names and sizes in squares match the committed ships.json exactly, and Umber's plan is unchanged. roll20-kit.py rebuilt both kits (cover, previews, names, listing, zip: Umber 5 MB, Pelican 13 MB) in the session scratchpad. A wipe now costs one command per product, not the ship.
• store/bulkhead.html still has no see-through option; the 11:07Z daily rebuilds it from the 1.19 tree.
• Products 2 and 3 stay held until Roll20 decides on pack 1.
• Finished 01:13
