This seems to be in the direction of Gas Town but missing some of the core features. Having formulas has been game changing.

[primary author and architect of scion here] The missing features are mostly by design - this is closer to what the gastown plans as "gascity" - bring your own orchestration characters and definition.

If you look at this orchestration example

https://github.com/ptone/scion-athenaeum

its just markdown - Scion is the game engine

(a port of gastown to run on scion is in progress)
