Alexa integration

So I am in a long standing 5e game running Temple of Elemental Evil.  When my excellent DM reads descriptions we have coined the phrase "Give us the Gygax" cause you know.  Gary.   Anyway I am running a relatively new Starfinder game with my excellent DM as a player.  To raise the bar I have developed a quick and dirty alexa skill called "me the Gygax"  where I can say "Alexa tell me the gygax on room number XX"  and she will read me the description in a cool English accent poly voice. Not only did this seem to go over really well with my party it saves me from having to read descriptions and I can concentrate on what else is going on in the room while they are listening to it. I think this might be a real value add for roll20.  One could sync your roll20 login with your skill so it could tell what adventure you were in at the time (as opposed to hard coding in your skill like I did as a one off) and you could tag up adventures with descriptions for rooms.  It seems like you could get alot of value from pretty minimal development.  Anyway that's my idea.  Feel free to run with it if you like.  I will keep using my little "me the Gygax" in the meantime.  But it worked so well I thought I should mention it to community. Thanks, DigitalHeretic
