This is my fourth week at my new job, and this link was the first one I've found that was blocked my the corporate firewall (didn't even realize we had such a policy) - the reason? Pornography. Man, I'm missing out.

One might argue this is excellent MS Excel Pornography

the DNS at $JOB here doesn't resolve newer TLDs like .dev at all :(

that said:

DungeonDelveXL is a fully-featured Role Playing Game (RPG), written entirely inside Microsoft Excel. It features a large, procedurally generated world and dungeons, with enormous potential to explore endlessly varying missions with your party of brave adventurers. And all inside a spreadsheet.

Blocked as well for me. Wish the author could host it on Github.

Site appears to be down already anyway... slashdotted?

Blocked for 'Sex' at my organization.

A gentle reminder: VBA is a fully-fledged language, capable of anything a normal language can do (including things like making HTTP get requests!). You should be very careful about running macros on anything you've downloaded from the internet.

Is there any repository of Excel applications like this? I would love to see what other people have done.

I really wanted to try this but it doesn't work on 64-bit Excel, any tips?

Not running on x64 version of Office 365. I guess it is written for 32 bit versions.

Getting syntax errors for Office Libre

It uses VBA, so it's not going to be compatible with non-MS office products (and the author doesn't really advertise compability anywhere anyway).

Unfortunately doesn't work there. I play homebrew tabletop wargames and RPGs in LO Draw but with zero automation. Still quite memorable campaigns though :-)
