My new spellcrafting system has a different approach to XP: each spell *component* gradually levels up every time you cast a spell it's used in, and when all of a spell's components are leveled up, you can level-up the spell. I didn't design it that way up front, it was just a clean solution that presented itself during UI coding.

Maybe I'll do something similar for non-magical skills. For example, many melee weapon skills are synergistic with chopping wood, hammering nails, digging, etc. So instead of combat you could do a bunch of manual labor to raise your weapon skills.

For character XP I'm probably going with quests, exploration, successful vampirism, and... injuring/defeating opponents in combat. Killing is rarely the goal and it shouldn't be rewarded. We'll keep track of the body count of course, but players can choose to see it as a good or bad thing.

My cats have hung out with my snake and my hedgehog. In my teens I had a ferret whose best friend was my dog.

Someone asked during Café Guix whether we could use Hoot to run bits of Guix such as importers in the browser, which would nicely complement Guix Packager.

I suppose we’re still far from it because of C bindings these modules depend on, such as Guile-Gcrypt and POSIX sockets (for the HTTP client). But maybe someday these interfaces could be implemented in JS/wasm to allow for seamless integration?
