I'm not entirely sure how @jonmarkgo.bsky.social is still doing this after 15 years πŸ˜‚

@fahrgast.bsky.social Heya, I realize I'm asking you to resurrect a super old codebase- but do you have a more recent working version of your condottieri site? I'm playing Machiavelli with some friends and was trying to stand up your old app - got pretty far with it but missing a bunch of images/etc
