AI Usage Explanation

Code written with an AI assistant (Claude); I have reviewed every file, understand it and maintain it. No AI features, no runtime code generation. English and French strings AI-drafted, reviewed by me (native French speaker). Eight other AI draft translations are not shipped until native speakers review them. README AI-drafted, reviewed by me; the introduction and this description are my own words, AI-proofread only. Screenshots are real captures; icons are system emoji; no AI-generated images.

As a GM on Foundry, without any video from my players, I sometimes wonder whether they are having fun, how the pace of the game feels to them, and whether there is enough RP, or too much. Rather than waiting for the end of the game to know how they feel, I wanted a way to "take the temperature" of the table.

This module does exactly that. It is a probe that captures whatever my players want to share with me. The summary I can consult as a GM is anonymous on screen, so I cannot start pointing fingers at any player. And I can see the average value as well as the distribution of "votes" (important when the players are polarized).

The module comes with three basic axes to start with (fun, pace and amount of RP), but it can be tailored to your needs. Only the GM can reset the barometer or change its axes; a determined player could still skew the numbers, so it is a mood gauge, not a ballot box. Nothing is recorded or logged.
