I am in the process of preparing for my game to resume shortly and I was hoping to use Tenian's parser to create a magic items library module for it. But I have been experiencing something weird. Essentially, I keep getting double entries of various items.
What I have been trying to do is parse a library module of what magic items the party currently has (they are 5th level). When I parse this, I keep them out of the Library and place them in Items instead. I then pass these items on to the characters via drag-and-drop.
When I next open the Items window though, and certainly if I reparse the module, I seem to have a second entry for these items (in Items) and I can't see why. Is this because I am handing the entry off to a character? Is it because I am reparsing? Is it something else?
I suppose what I really want is to be able to create a module, using the parser, that I can update and expand, that will include any and all and only the magic items that I award to the characters and that doesn't fill up with duplicates.
Any thoughts? Sorry I can't chase this behaviour down any further at the moment.
