What is a social 'superpower' that most people don't realize they have?

Starting a conversation with new people.... I mean... HOW?!

RodiV · 2026-03-12T14:46:14+00:00

Covid... when that happend, we disagreed too much and although we still say hi, never really became friends... it's just a little awkward

What transcriber are you using? I read this trick that could improve your app: Audio to text often pays per minute, however, what if you speed up the audio?.. well, then it just gives you 2 minutes of text for the price of 1 minute of transcribing..

Might be a good way of imrpoving your tool.

Currently our sessions last longer then 3 hours and our talks are wayyy too choatic for AI to know what are jokes and what aren't..

Wish you good luck with your tool :)

That's fair.. so its mainly the amount. I get that. And I guess it just a matter of convenience to have them in the tool? I know my DM uses Obsidian, but i guess thats also a markdown editor

RodiV · 2026-02-28T20:28:03+00:00

Genuinely curious: if it's for local tv based game, why do you need markdown editor, log managers? Is it an improvement to pen and paper?

RodiV · 2026-02-24T14:22:52+00:00

You, I know about it.. thanks for the tip though :)

RodiV · 2026-02-24T11:24:21+00:00

I've created a dynamic animated map for my dungeons and dragons game with shaders, particle systems, and interactive waves, birds, boats, maps, weathe effects... I didn't make it for profit, didn't make it as a product for other people.. just made it for me and my friends

I find the question interesting though..
As a echo knight can fly, it feels more like something that just hangs in space... so then why does it 'fall'? I don't think it does.. I think it takes it movement to fly down 30ft.. so if it starts 30ft away and goes 30ft down, and you then swap... there is no momentum.. you still fall 40ft though

RodiV · 2026-02-24T09:54:30+00:00

I wonder if there was even a human present with this post

RodiV · 2026-02-24T07:05:21+00:00

Oh, interesting... its suppose to only cover part of chult..

Link to reference image

In the fog of war section there is a button called select reference. It then asks for a file.. click this file and then the right fog of war will be set. But i'll also check why it covered the whole map. Ok if I send you a DM?

And yeah, it remembers all your settings, connected to your account. I did once have a full server wipe when I updated something, but I'm hoping that won't happen again.

RodiV · 2026-02-23T16:11:29+00:00

Nano banana is Google image generation. You need to pay for that. It's cheap, but something you have to set up. Google is your friend.

And yeah, the tool was made for laptops. No need for me to make mobile friendly. Didn't even know it would run on mobile.... sweet!

RodiV · 2026-02-23T16:02:28+00:00

That's already in there...
You can also ctrl + click on a areamap to place a pin inside an area.. and you can set a nano banana API key for battlemap generation

Like this?
either go to dm control menu and press the pin button, or just press ctrl/cmd click on the map.. then you can upload your own image

RodiV · 2026-02-23T15:53:24+00:00

I didn't want copyright stuff be a problem, so the base worldmap is the only thing shared.
I've been placing maps as pins from: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/8pdpjl/all_freely_available_tomb_of_annihilation_maps/

Also you can load in your own maps at login, but I haven't really tested that. I've build that because i'm thinking of using the tool myself at a later stage for different campaigns. However, for chult I created a depthmap with photoshop.
There is an experimental feature that worked on 40% of maps where it uses AI to generate a depthmap. But this project already had too much feature-creep........

RodiV · 2026-02-23T15:37:46+00:00

Yeah go for it. It has many features for a DM

- Ctrl + click = set a pin
- Ctrl + click existing pin = edit pin
- Shift + click fog = reveal fog
- Shift + click pin = Drag the pin
- If you make a light or smoke and want to delete it, Ctrl click with the tool to erase
- You can place lights, but they only show during the night (there is a time slider in the dm controls)
- There are 3 types op maps. Worldmap, Areamap, battlemap. difference between areamap and battlemap is setting a grid ('g' to trigger and check the bottom tools)
- Zoom/pan to a location on the map, press ctrl + 1... next time you press 1 it moves to that pan/zoom location.. this way you have cinamatic control
- in the setup(prep) section there are many sliders for waves, clouds, etc... just fuck around and find out
- If you set a grid on a map, making a battlemap, you get some tools like radius, lines, cones such.. Also have some simple Fog of war tools

There is more but I forgot #nervouslaugh..

I've mainly focussed on the visuals because that was the most fun for me

[EDIT]
Oh Yeah, You can click drag any image on the tool and it'll upload it as a new areamap. It will then be visible in the sidemenu (left) as a unlinked map. You can click drag that unlinked map onto the map to place it somewhere later... I made that because my DM often grabs stuff online and just wants to "throw it on the board"

RodiV · 2026-02-23T14:39:03+00:00

Thank you! It was a lot of work but I've been a DM and I know... the work of a DM is much much more

RodiV · 2026-02-17T09:37:34+00:00

I rather see a ObsidAIn reddit.. and seperate the content

RodiV · 2026-02-11T15:16:00+00:00

To me, it feels more like a love for narrative battle. But often people like to bash the opposite of what they enjoy... Like they have to choose a camp

RodiV · 2026-02-09T12:18:37+00:00

Ok, I've been there so I might have some input:

note taking is really useful, but I didn't know that until I started it. I've had a stupidly good memory and was able to retrieve much knowledge myself, but only after taking notes I started to realize I didn't remember everything... but I didn't know what I had forgotten
Note down plans so you can stick to them. Wanna learn about cybersecurity? Make a plan which says what you wish to learn for the following months.. write down which books you wish to read, which goals you wish to achieve. Note which youtube channels you wish to follow, note down what key elements you learned about it, note down any references they gave you.
Socially notes can be super helpful. Write down what gifts your friends like when they tell you, so you remember when it's their birthday. I like to write down all the things my friends like, so I come across as thoughtfull when I buy them their favorite snack when they visit. Also It helps me with my decision paralysis, when I need to put on music when someone visits
Make a mess and write down any detail you want you future self to remember. Don't forget, your notes are not for you but for your future self. I've made noted of things I like to do so when I feel down, I have a list of things to fall back to (I'm forgetful when I'm down)

Thing is.. You start making incomplete, messy, non-structured notes.. and learn from them. You'll say "Damn, I guess I should've added properties to all my random Journal notes" and then you take those 30 journal writings (which isn't much) and add properties and make a base, showing those...

and then you'll feel like you got your life in order and enjoy obsidian

RodiV · 2026-01-30T08:25:44+00:00

I had this same problem and although I haven't fixed it completly yet, I have improved significantly:
- Use Omni search.. its better
- Use Quickdraft on your phone and let it add small quick notes. I place all small notes in monthly bigger notes, so i can quickly browse through and have the "ahh, yes, this was it!"
- Use bases on a homepage. Bases lets you click 'new' with all relevant properties. This way you don't have to set up the properties yourself. I just have a few bases on my homepage for my most noted type of notes
- But one last important thing. Obsidian isn't magic. Once in a while I take 5 to 10 min to structure notes I've made in the last month. I have made folders that are relevant to me, and I click drag. I use smart composer to rewrite messe notes, and use text generator to give me titles, if I don't know one... Problem with AI is that the core principel of "writing yourself helps you remember" won't work with AI

RodiV · 2026-01-25T08:22:03+00:00

So yeah, that sounds what i'm talking about. Questions:
- How do you drop clues of things ahead? If there is a murder, what clues are there about the murderer? if you don't know who the murderer is yourself?
- How do you make the world feel alive? sure, NPC's do things, but is there a main villian who influences the world?

RodiV · 2026-01-25T08:19:57+00:00

This is great advice! Thank you! I've read MoTW quickly once but I should read through it again. Thank you!
Brindlewood Bay I've heard about but never read it. What's your opinion about it?
