The hall, the rules and the guide are rendered at build time and served as whole pages, so a reader without scripts, a crawler or view-source sees the text and not an empty shell; the app shell Caddy serves for a room address is shell.html, since a fallback named index.html overwrote the hall's own page; and the family list carries Wyrm and Dip's larger maps

A Fireball is F-S-S-D-D on one hand, and a Shield is a single palm. Play the bot, or open a table for up to a dozen wizards and play by turns.</p>
