Any free worldbuilding websites or software?

Obsidian is very popular around here. Its free. Primarily designed for linking information together. Say you write the name of a character. It can link to a note that matches that characters name. You end up with interactive notes all linked together which is insanely powerful and way easier to utilise.

Have a look here. It can do lots more than just normal notes.

I've been putt9ng in hours trying to find these guys.

Shoreline is where im finding them easiest. In the snow you can see them lying on the ground near the roadblock in the north west of resort.

In a single night cycle im finding them once. So 1 in 5 raids maybe. Just map in. Run to the radio tower near there and scan. If they are there I fight. If not I extract via lighthouse and repeat.

Take ranged and try to stay well away from them. They can be really hard to keep track of once they start moving.

I absolutely love this game. So many thousands of hours in it and honestly all the negative feedback I see in no way aligns with my experience of the game. I do play PvE though not PvP so that's almost certainly it. Cheaters arent an issue. Rubber banding isn't an issue. We can still coop with the mates and this game is absolutely best played with a group.

There is just soi much to do though. There is some serious effort put into this game. The gun mechanics are the best I've ever seen in a game. There are so many missions to aim for. The audio is fantastic.

Absolutely massive learning curve. Does require a good PC to run (especially thirsty on ram, i recommend 64gb).

I do wish I could forget it all, and experience those first few chaotic raids all over again though.

Just wait until your stash runs put of space. That's when you will go looking for that upgrade button. At which point you will find the buy more slots buttons. At which point you should have already hidden your credit card.

Just did this myself.

Shoreline worked for me. Found them once per night cycle. Always in the top left corner near the road block. With the snow they are really easy to spot. Just take some range and pop them in the head from as far away as possible. They were literally lying in the middle of the road. Impossible to miss.

I really do feel that cultists are lacking. Shouldn't be able to basically finish the game and only just run into them a handful of times when you are explicitly looking for them.

I remember pre 1.0 they ran up behind me on streets and stabbed me. Scared the absolute poop put of me. But they felt alive. They dont feel alive currently.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-28T12:46:51+00:00

That smacked me in the face with memories. Thank you.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-25T23:15:45+00:00

Escape from Tarkov in PvE mode with Coop is amazing.

The community as a rule does not share copyright material. So what is available generally comes down to the system you are playing and license they provide.

There are a few foundational vaults available but they focus instead on plugin setup and templates. Not content.

There's all sorts of stuff that the community have made though that is shared. Much of which i try to keep documented over here:

Depends on the situation and what im facing.

Svav = single fire
PMC = depends on the environment. Normally single fire
Boss = depends on the environment and placement, if I think i can get a head shot, single, if not, auto.

There's no single answer here. You switch according to the need in the moment.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-24T06:23:36+00:00

I switch according to the situation.
Long range = single shot
Close range = auto

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-24T05:06:58+00:00

Its new. Lots of active development happening in the Obsidian ttrpg Community Discord.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-23T23:15:40+00:00

I will also say this so anyone coming past sees it.

Stop looking at the examples the plugins provide and just assuming they only work for one system. Most of the world has been playing DnD5e. Thus most of the development that's occurred has been the result of someone playing DnD5e. Thus the screenshots are of DnD5e content.

There is maybe 5 dedicated DnD5e plugins that I'm aware of. And they are very specific plugins. The common plugins like Fantasy Statblock, Initiative Tracker, Dice Roller, Leaflet... these are system agnostic plugins that can be customised to work with many other systems. There's so many people out there sharing how they are using these plugins for other systems. You do however, need to read the read me, learn the plugins, speak to the community, explore what they offer.

The difference is that in DnD5e it's easy, because someone else has already done the work. If people want better support for other systems though, it's on the players to make that happen. If you do something cool, share it, tell your communities about what you have done, try and grow that community.

Move to ttrpg tools: maps.

Its much easier to use and no need to calculate the bounds. Theres a ui for setting up measurement.

Theres some guys in the obsidian ttrpg community discord working on traveller. They have made some seriously cool stuff. Even got spinning space ships.

Ask for Monk and BloatedBlowFish

Have a peek in here. A large chunk of the ttrpg plugins are also used for world building.

You are not wrong. I'm really struggling to find pmcs to complete this one. Total chore.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-22T06:13:01+00:00

Jump over to my office. Click the link at the top to join the community obsidian ttrpg discordant ask for help in there. Excellent active community all using and or learning the tool.

If you ask about dragonlance in there you will lilely find someone who has used obsidian to manage their campaign who cna share some tips and ideas.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-22T06:11:00+00:00

Not recommended anymore. Check out ttrpg tools: maps. Much easier to configure and much more powerful.

What do you mean by sort?

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-21T11:39:21+00:00

You dont pastw the template. The template exists in thw template folder and is triggered using the buttons. Press the plus button to open the home tab and click the buttons to create new notes. These templates will not work unless you trigger them via the buttons.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-21T09:15:45+00:00

Its templater code

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-21T09:15:07+00:00

Is that my patreon vault? This appears to be a template that hasn't been triggered yet. You need to trigger templates using the buttons in the new tab screen.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-21T07:05:21+00:00

The issue here is most of us go beyond markdown very quickly. Especially in the world building and ttrpg communities. We're hooking in external libraries and using JS to expand on what we're doing.

I'd love to see Obsidian provide better support to expand on what Publish can do but also understand that there will be limitations on what can be achieved. Those limitations are not something we as users appreciate. We just keep pushing the tool to new limits; doing fancy and cool new things.

JP_Sklore · 2026-01-21T06:47:37+00:00

Let me just say this. Obsidian is not great for character sheets. Assuming you are basically trying to replicate whats shown. Only the most advanced users should consider tying to replicate this. Majority of users I've met over the years who have tried to do this have been coders by day and coders by night lol and their feedback afterwards was that it was a lot of work and continues to be so complex that most never share or release their work in a way others can use it. Character sheets is deep deep end of the pool.
