Received today these two beauties: 'Nebulith' and 'A Red & Pleasant Land'. Two gorgeous designed books and high quality prints. Both roleplay settings. The first a Okinawa inspired setting. The second a cross of Alice in Wonderland and vampires. #lotfp #dnd
terminalgraphics #rstats package is now on #CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/terminalgraphics/index.html). I have also managed to add support for sixel, so the package now supports both terminals that support Terminal Graphics Protocol and Sixel.
