The TTRPG section will definitely have a field for game engine.
I am debating if that's the same field as the video games' "game engine," which will have options like Unity, Godot, RPGMaker, etc. It kinda breaks my brain to put those in the same field, but... they're mutually exclusive and have the same label. So maybe.
(However: TTRPGs can have more than one of them. A TTRPG can grab elements from 2 or more engines; video games don't work that way.)
URLs will be included; upkeep/corrections are a far distant issue.
Tools for the TTRPGs is part of the fields only used for those games. I assume all TTRPGs expect writing materials of some sort. (Some don't but those are so rare I can just throw that in a "notes" field.)
Common tools are * Dice (I will need a whole separate subtable for "what kinds and how many") (may include "coin to flip" as a d2) * Cards, playing * Cards, Tarot * Block tower * Meeple * Tokens * Graph or hex paper * Game-specific printables (need this map; need this tracking sheet, etc.) * Other (a specific soundtrack, candles & a lighter, envelopes & stamps, a Discord with specific channels, etc.)
...I will need to do something with the "other" category because I want to search for "games that require fire." But that might just mean a sub-field of "Other" so I can add a list.
I plan to add "number of players" fields. Discussions with database people has established the best/simplest way to do this is a "GM Y/N" field (lots of gmless TTRPGS), and "min players" and "Max players" fields. I may wind up using "99 max" as a way to say "this is for a GM and as many people as want to play."
