Spent some time in R abusing a script I originally made for work:
It takes in an RPG PDF and makes a word cloud out of it!
The below is the general vibe of B2: Keep on the Borderlands:
And this one is B4: The Lost City (my favorite):
From a simple semantic similarity analysis, B2 and B4 have:
- ~95% Jaccard similarity
- ~65% Cosine similarity
It's possible to take pretty much any module and see how semantically similar it is to any other module, though what this means exactly is (ironically) uncertain. I do think it may be good to run this analysis if you were planning to emulate the contents or style of a certain type of adventure. A dreary abuse of the method would be to claim it lent validity to being more OSR-than-though.
Worth exploring?
