Greetings fellow Gurpsers (Gurpsians?).
In an older thread ddavison discussed the option of getting session statistics from the campaign chatlog, and judging from the response of people who took him up on it, the information gathered can be extremely nice to have. The caveat is that 5e is the major system in use, and therefore the algorithms that ddavison uses is geared towards that and/or similar systems.
I recently tried to take him up on his offer, https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?37768-Campaign-Game-Statistics/page8, but when he asked me for more information regarding what sort of data could be pulled I was at a loss. He's asked me for a longer chatlog so that he could come up with "regular expressions". Now I think that criticals (hits and misses) are pretty obvious, but beyond that, what else would we be looking for?
I'd appreciate any assistance that anyone can give to help me feed ddavison useful information. Perhaps someone else could offer up their chatlog for analysis? I think that it is pretty obvious that all actors (players and NPCs) need to use targeting to get the most useful datasets. Something which I'm not always the best at enforcing.
