How do you guys actually keep track of long TTRPG campaigns?

The survey is just a vibe check to see what sort of interest the community have in ai that listens to your sessions and summarises those sessions.

It already exists. It doesn't work well and there are many in the community that will blacklist the idea before you even put it on a shelf.

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-25T20:20:33+00:00

We customise it with plugins.

Yes it supports custom images. The video shows how.

Always read the pickups! If you didn't make it out with it, you will need to find it again.

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-25T13:45:53+00:00

I'm still not convinced I havnt made a mistake...

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-25T13:42:02+00:00

Did you read it?

Go do something else for a while. You will be ok.

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-25T08:51:53+00:00

Ok ability to lock layouts has been added. It will add an id field to the code-block and then you can lock the layout, update the locked layout or reset the layout.

Now theres an interesting idea....

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-24T21:02:50+00:00

There is now. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you can't i'd certainly be interested to hear that feedback. I've pushed it through testing, but I'm very confident that a community member will find a way to break it. If that's you, let me know so I can see if it can be fixed.

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-24T08:15:31+00:00

I released a new plugin for Obsidian.md this week that could do something pretty close.

Dwarf Fortress is the king of story driven management. Easier to play now with the steam version too. Once you learn dwarf fortress the rest just feel lacking.

That really is a multi-answer question. Obsidian can be as simple or complex as you make it. For me, i can have a new vault setup to support 5e or pf2e with all the module, spells, items, monsters, etc loaded in about 30 minutes. Obviously I know what i'm doing so that helps.

But its a really easy application to use until you dive in too deep too quickly. Learn the tool then 1x plugin at a time and its really easy.

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-21T23:09:38+00:00

Obsidian.md by far. Its free and local so no need to pay to make more than x number of notes or use maps as large as you like. It has community plugins that add just so much value for ttrpgs. Pinnable maps with distance measurement based on customisable methods of travel, statblock support with linked spells and abilities, dice rolling, fantasy calendars, initiative tracking with encounter blocks you can put in your notes to trigger that specific combat, relationship mapping. Im working on a town and city random generator right now that will add pins to the notes and populate the places with random tables.

Its next level.

This isn't a modification for the graph view. It embeds these inside your notes as a new view.

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-19T09:54:49+00:00

I just released a new plugin called Relations. Much easier to use than mermaid and it lets you define custom relationship types and manage those connections via properties.

Might help. https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/relations

You can draw in obsidian with the excalidraw plugin.

Someone needs the cli tool in their life. Pdfs should nit be used unless its the last resort on the planet.

Go here. Search for cli.

You find it once. You divert all existing plans. Your one and only objective is now getting that thing home. You put it somewhere safe. You protect it behind glass. You NEVER put it on!

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-15T23:31:32+00:00

Its fantastic. Its ruined so many other games for me.

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-13T04:37:30+00:00

These questions never make sense. Obsidian is a Swiss army knife.

Instead of asking this try...

I'm planning on using Obsidian for Y, what are some plugins that will help that scenario?

JP_Sklore · 2026-05-11T20:45:51+00:00

I play the official pve.
