+# Figures for Wyrm: a brief for a 3D model generator
+
+Wyrm is a browser rebuild of Gary Gygax's 1985 Dragonchess: three boards of
+twelve by eight stacked one above the other, the air, the land and the
+underworld, with 42 pieces a side in fifteen kinds. The pieces are to be
+figures standing on round bases, in the manner of painted tabletop
+miniatures, so that a game can be drawn as a three-level glass board seen
+from a three-quarter view above.
+
+## What to make
+
+Fifteen figures, one per kind, each delivered as a single glTF binary
+(`.glb`) with these properties:
+
+- Y up, metres, the base centred on the origin and resting on y = 0.
+- A round base 1.0 unit across and 0.1 high under every figure. The figure
+  may overhang the base (wings, tails) but never below it.
+- Height by station: Warriors, Sylphs and Dwarves about 1.6 units tall from
+  the base; the middle kinds about 2.0; the Dragon, Griffon, Oliphant,
+  Elemental and Basilisk may reach 2.6, wingspan up to 2.4.
+- At most 8,000 triangles a figure, 4,000 for the Warrior, Sylph and Dwarf,
+  since there are twelve or six of each on the board at once.
+- Two materials only: `livery` for everything that takes the side's colour
+  (cloth, wings, scales, paint) and `base` for the base and anything
+  neutral (steel, wood, stone, skin). The game recolours `livery` for Gold
+  and Scarlet; do not bake the side colour in. One 1024 texture set per
+  material, PBR (base colour, metallic-roughness, normal).
+- One still pose, readable in silhouette from a three-quarter view above
+  and from directly above. No pose that lies flat or leans off the base.
+- Style: painted miniature, not photoreal. Clean forms, exaggerated
+  silhouettes, little fine detail that would vanish at 40 pixels tall.
+  Mixed fantasy, medieval and classical, as the pieces below describe.
+  No text, logos or heraldry.
+
+## The fifteen pieces
+
+The air (Gygax colours the board light blue and white):
+
+1. **Sylph.** A slight winged spirit of the wind, androgynous, barefoot,
+   feathered wings raised, carrying nothing or a short spear. Light and
+   quick; the foot soldier of the air.
+2. **Griffon.** Half eagle and half lion, wings spread, forelegs raised as
+   it lands. Big, the heaviest flier after the Dragon.
+3. **Dragon.** The great wyrm of the sky, the piece the game is named for.
+   Wings half spread, long neck, head turned down as if to strike at the
+   board beneath. The tallest piece on the board.
+
+The land (light green and amber):
+
+4. **Warrior.** A spearman of the levy, shield on the arm, spear upright.
+   Plain, sturdy, the common soldier; twelve of these stand in a wall.
+5. **Oliphant.** A war elephant with a small howdah, tusks forward. Broad
+   and heavy, a rook with tusks.
+6. **Unicorn.** A unicorn rearing, no rider. The knight of the land.
+7. **Hero.** A champion in mail with a long sword raised two-handed. Bold
+   stance, a figure that leaps.
+8. **Thief.** A hooded figure in dark cloth, crouched, a dagger in each
+   hand, looking sideways.
+9. **Cleric.** A robed priest with a staff topped by a sun or sigil, calm,
+   upright. The one piece at home on every board.
+10. **Mage.** A wizard in long robes, staff in one hand, the other raised
+    with a flame or light. The queen of the land.
+11. **King.** A crowned king in a long cloak with a sceptre, standing. Not
+    the tallest piece, but the most dressed.
+12. **Paladin.** A knight in full plate on foot, visor down, lance or sword
+    and a tall shield. The holy knight.
+
+The underworld (red and brown):
+
+13. **Dwarf.** A squat miner with a pick over the shoulder and a lamp on the
+    helmet, bearded, broad. Six to a side.
+14. **Basilisk.** A great serpent reared up on its coils, crested, mouth
+    open, looking up as if its gaze reaches the board above. Menacing and
+    low.
+15. **Elemental.** A bruiser of living stone, a hulking earth elemental,
+    arms raised, no face to speak of. The one heavy thing in the
+    underworld.
+
+## Try two first
+
+Make the Warrior and the Dragon before the rest. The Warrior shows whether
+the model can keep a figure simple and readable at a small size; the Dragon
+shows whether it can carry a big silhouette with wings inside the triangle
+budget. If both pass, make the remaining thirteen to the same style.
+
+## How they will be judged
+
+- Does each figure read as its kind from a three-quarter view above, at
+  about 40 pixels tall, against the others on the same board?
+- Do the twelve Warriors, six Sylphs and six Dwarves differ from each
+  other's kinds at a glance?
+- Do the two materials split cleanly, so that recolouring `livery` to gold
+  and to scarlet gives two armies and nothing else changes?
+- Does the file open in a standard glTF viewer with no missing textures,
+  within the triangle budget, standing on its base at the origin?

+			<p>Gary Gygax, who made Dungeons &amp; Dragons, published Dragonchess in the hundredth issue of Dragon Magazine, in August 1985, as seven pages of rules and no board.

 			<p>Wyrm plays the game as the article gives it, every piece as written, with the few open readings settled on the <a href="/rules">rules page</a>, where the article is transcribed in full. The house player is a drake, a search that reads a few moves ahead and values the pieces roughly as Gygax did, so it is fair company for a first game and beatable by a careful one. The name is this site's own. Dragonchess was Gygax's and TSR's, and another company sells a game called Dragon Chess that has nothing to do with this one.</p>
 			<p>It is free and keeps no accounts. A game lives on a small server as an append-only ledger of moves, so it can be replayed from its first move, and nothing in it is hidden from either player or from the gallery.</p>

Gygax's own advice is to hold the Mage and the Paladin back until the lesser pieces are developed, and to keep your Dragon home. It starts directly above your King for a reason. A Dragon that flies off to raid leaves the King open to the other Dragon, which strikes the land from the air without ever coming down.</p>

A Mage going from the underworld to the air needs the square on the land between to be empty, and an Elemental needs the square beside it empty on the way up and the square beneath it empty on the way down. The Sylph, the Dwarf, the Cleric and the King move straight up or down, one board at a time, onto the square itself.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	93463a529b	The glass board's figures are cached for a week: fifteen files that seldom change no longer go back to the server on every opening of the view Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CCLa2PaEeCj8njQZSWGqHx	2026-10-28 10:06:22 -04:00
Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	8c03fd624c	A position under review leads the status strip and is announced; the glass sheets' rims carry the square names Picking a move from the chronicle now puts the review first in the strip, with Earlier, Later and Back to now on the same line, and labels the live game beneath it; the piece counts and the move line beside the boards describe the position as drawn. On a phone the chosen board scrolls to sit under the strip once the layout has settled, so a pick made from the chronicle on a phone held sideways no longer leaves the board and its controls above the viewport. Each review step says the position and its move to the live region, and returning says the game as it stands; a button that vanished or went grey under the keyboard hands focus to the grid's own square, or to Back to now. The glass board's sheets carry the files' letters and the ranks' numbers in their rims when the flat boards show them, the far edges turned about so that each seat reads its own; the rim is a little wider for them and the posts stand a little further out.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	f2be3b0055	From the two testers' lists: on a phone the status strip carries a jump to each board, with a mark on any board the chosen piece can reach, and a phone on its side shows one board at a time, as wide as the screen, with Page Up and Page Down bringing the others out; a figure held by a Basilisk stands in a pale ring on the glass; the hall says which side and setup are chosen in one line and keeps the choices behind it until asked Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CCLa2PaEeCj8njQZSWGqHx	2026-10-27 23:21:27 -04:00
Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	0f4ae0dca4	A move picked from the chronicle puts the boards back as they stood after it, on the flat boards and the glass alike, with Earlier, Later and Back to now in the status strip; one move on plays itself, any other leap sets the pieces out where they stood, and a tap on the boards brings the game back to now Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CCLa2PaEeCj8njQZSWGqHx	2026-10-27 23:11:52 -04:00
Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	13fc4c5ef3	What an extended playtest found at the table: a move awaiting confirmation is asked in the status strip, which stays in view, and Confirm takes the focus, with Escape to cancel and the selection kept; the squares are one Tab stop, entered at the square last visited; the masthead's buttons wrap at tablet widths instead of running off the page; the glass canvas fits the window's height, seats its camera afresh when the frame turns wide, remembers its view across a spell on the flat boards, keeps its ways to look above the canvas on a phone, and sits a little further from the seat so the far rank fits; a Basilisk's gaze reaches the status line; a move picked from the chronicle is named in the status as lit on the boards as they stand, and its board is brought into view; the end of a game offers a fresh drake, a rematch and the hall together under the result, with the status no longer repeated in the story Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CCLa2PaEeCj8njQZSWGqHx	2026-10-27 22:43:04 -04:00
Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	b88c57f350	The told game on a phone leaves room beneath the boards for the Back and Next bar, measured, plus the screen's safe-area inset; the underworld's file letters were under it Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CCLa2PaEeCj8njQZSWGqHx	2026-10-27 21:10:13 -04:00
Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	36508f29ca	The table on a phone: the masthead keeps the title, who is playing and the room code, and folds the rest behind a Table button; the piece panel opens as a summary and unfolds the lore on request; the told game brings the move's board into view and keeps Back and Next at the foot of the screen with the move's name; a game against a drake can be started over at any time and played again when it ends The masthead on a 390-pixel screen was 300 pixels tall, with seven buttons before the status line; it is 132 now. The piece panel was 30 percent of the screen with the lore scrolling inside; the summary is a third less, and the lore is a tap away. The told game's words were sticky on a phone as on a wide screen, and pinned themselves over the boards; they scroll with the page now.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	7dd113b1ff	Six things a first-time tester found: the rules counted five kinds that cross boards and named nine; a lesson's screen-reader line kept describing a piece after the move, and the outcome was never read; the chronicle's move links were too faint and small to look live; the hall's Play button sat disabled with no word about the name it waits for, and nothing said the drake is the computer; the lessons forgot which scenes were done Scenes played right are remembered in this browser, ticked on their tabs, and the page opens on the first one left.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	65bdf4ecfb	The glass board is a place to move, not only to look: a square a held piece may go to is taken through any figure in the way; from above, the sheets above the one you look at are set aside; the post nearest the eye fades; the seat is higher; the wheel scrolls the page unless Ctrl or ⌘ is held, and one finger scrolls past the board on a touchscreen; tapping the view you are in puts the camera back; a narrow screen gets a taller canvas and a nearer start; the hall link after a game no longer spills over the heading below it Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01CCLa2PaEeCj8njQZSWGqHx	2026-10-27 10:40:22 -04:00

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	8744072dda	The glass board: a game drawn as three sheets of tinted glass on four posts with figures standing on them, in three.js, taking the same taps as the flat boards, shown only to a browser let in by a word Fifteen figures in static/figures, one per kind, made to docs/figures-brief.md: a round base, a livery material the view recolours per side, and a base material left alone. The view loads three.js and the figures only when it is opened. It plays a move as a walk and a capture as a sink into the glass, dims a piece a Basilisk holds, marks the last move, the targets and a King in check, and lets a tap reach a figure or a marked square through the glass above it. Three cameras: from the corner, from the player's seat, from above. The table and the told game offer it behind the gate in src/lib/glass.svelte.ts, which opens for a browser that visits with ?glass=<word> whose hash it keeps.

Eric WagonerandClaude Fable 5.1	0be89a1dfe	Credibility pass: the code reads as one hand's work. Dead plumbing and copies removed, four claims the source does not support corrected, and inherited kit text re-read for this game Engine: the facade re-exports the board in one block; describe() and the dead letters preference, void ply, the King-taken line, the identity maps and the unused imports are gone; SIDE_NAMES is the one spelling of a side; the drake's hunter comment no longer claims only four kinds reach the air. Prose: no shatranj and no sitting duck, which Gygax never wrote; the Thief statistic and the Basilisk's "one trick" are gone; lessons say what the board shows instead of repeating the panel; a Thief's leap counts four. Browser: one keyboard walk, in BoardArtwork; the lesson board and page share one game and one inspected piece; the chronicle's possessive is told, not patched by a regex; the chronicle colours and the reading layout are global rules instead of three copies; the guide and the about panel say what the code and the article actually do. Server and docs: the room server states that it is the kit's, kept whole; the skills, the deploy README and the share card name files that exist.
