Containment

Live in production

A modern-day tactical tabletop campaign that players join in the browser, with character sheets that handle gear math.

Current status

Live tactical tabletop campaign and Markdown rules compiler hosted at containment.ngi.video that continuously playtests and bootstraps TaleHall.

Overview

Live modern-era tactical tabletop campaign at containment.ngi.video with browser player HUDs, an AI game-master console, and a Markdown-to-rules compiler that continuously playtests and feeds the TaleHall RPG platform and its clean-room first-party ruleset.

Why it was built

Running heavily customized tabletop RPG campaigns online usually means hours of fragile manual data entry, plugin updates that break character sheets right before game night, and lock-in to third-party rules licenses.

Why it helps

Lets game designers write classes, doctrines, and gear in plain Markdown files that compile into live browser character sheets and tactical maps—while every weekly playtest session directly advances TaleHall's system-agnostic RPG engine and royalty-free first-party rules.

What you can do

Automated rules compiler converting plain-text Markdown into playable tabletop compendiums and clean-room first-party rules
Six browser-native player and GM surfaces covering character creation, live tactical maps, comms theater, and field dossiers
Continuous anti-drift synchronization that shares battle-tested RPG surfaces directly with the TaleHall platform
Automated visual and lore-hygiene verification suite testing character sheets and scenes before every session

Containment • Core Technology & Feature Architecture

Threshold 2d10 Tactical RPG Spearhead & 6-Surface Continuous Bootstrap Bridge

Live weekly modern-era tactical RPG campaign and Markdown rules compiler that mechanically verifies all 6 Universal RPG Surface Contracts and graduates clean-room first-party IP into TaleHall.

6 Universal RPG Surfaces

Mechanical UI Contract Verification & TaleHall Sync

Verifies single-row movable toolbar, snappable cockpit HUD windows, 4-tier progressive room intel, Player/GM RBAC notifications, 2-pane dossier reader, and art-integrated fog-of-war sector maps.

Clean-Room IP Lexicon

Automated 26-Term Threshold 2d10 Tactical Core Graduation

Translates 10 classes, 7 ladder doctrines, and 6 attributes from playtest scaffolding into 100% NextGen Interactive owned Threshold 2d10 terminology with zero third-party SRD royalties.

3-Pass Portrait Pipeline

CV-Gated FLUX.2 Pro + BiRefNet v2 + Clarity Upscaler

Synthesizes operative portraits with flux-2-pro, extracts crisp alpha mattes via BiRefNet v2, and triggers conditional upscaling only when CV edge sharpness scores below 85.0.

Rules-as-Code Compiler

Plain-Text Markdown to Live Browser Compendiums

Compiles Markdown class doctrines, weapon loadouts, and mission dossiers directly into synchronized 4–8 player WebSocket party rooms and GM encounter consoles.

Before & After Engineering AuditTactical RPG Spearhead & Clean-Room IP Compiler26-term clean-room IP graduation · 6/6 universal RPG surfaces verified

6-surface browser RPG HUD & Threshold 2d10 clean-room IP vs. fragile VTT plugins

Comparison focus

Before: Manual VTT data entry, broken game-night modules & third-party SRD lock-in

Custom tabletop campaigns typically rely on fragile community VTT plugins that break before game night and lock creators into third-party ruleset licenses.

// Legacy third-party VTT + SRD scaffold
ruleset: "5e SRD + Ultramodern5 + 14 community Foundry modules"
roll: "1d20 + Dexterity modifier" (flat 5% swingy distribution)
status: Module conflict broke actor sheet CSS 10 minutes before session

After: Markdown-to-rules compiler, 6 verified HUD surfaces & 26-term Threshold 2d10 IP

Containment compiles plain Markdown into 6 mechanically verified browser RPG surfaces and translates all 26 classes, doctrines, and attributes into 100% owned Threshold 2d10 Tactical Core IP.

// Containment -> TaleHall Clean-Room IP & 6-Surface Contract
ruleset: "Threshold 2d10 Tactical Core (0% royalties, 100% first-party IP)"
lexicon: translateToFirstPartyIp("Infiltrator" -> "Specter", "Dex" -> "Reflex")
surfaces: 6/6 verified (toolbar, snappable HUD, 4-tier intel, RBAC, dossier, map)

CV & VLM rubric shift: 0.7625 → 0.9525 (+0.19 · Sharpness +55.7% · PSNR 44.94 dB)
