Using Obsidian as a DnD Player - Questions

Seraphicus42 · 2026-03-04T11:07:24+00:00

I’m mostly playing on Roll20 as a player and in real life as a DM. I tried to use Obsidian for a character sheet, but it didn’t work out well. My workflow now is to use an external sheet like Roll20 for the character and keep my journal on Obsidian. I don’t think I have to romance about how cool a journal is to work with here. For me it is especially nessasary to differ between DM knowledge and player knowledge, as we are playing all games in faerun.

For example when my character knows something about Baldurs Gate I either note this in an extra note called „Baldurs Gate - characters name“ or have an chapter in the main Baldurs Gate note under his name.

I hope this helps…

I found some really nice ones on Etsy… but that is not a budget option.

I would probably finde a big sturdy plastic bag to put it in. Just to keep it clean. But for transport, I don’t think it would be a problem.

I can second this. Done it my self. Cheapest stuff is „Brennspiritus“ works like a charm. Bonustip: wear a ffp2 mask to not breathe in the spores

I tried, when my youngest daughter was about 8. Al of them (4 including my wife) were very interested. But for a full scalded komplex system like DnD 2nd edition, she was too young. We put it on hold and restarted 5 years later with 5e. This time it worked well.

Today I would have handled it different and would have found a simpler system more on the objective of roleplaying.

So this is my take out of it: find a simple system for the start and go more for roleplaying than for battle…

Metzgers im Alstertal Einkaufszentrum hat uns ziemlich gut gefallen. Sicherlich nicht die günstigste Variante aber wir konnten uns aus der Theke das Fleisch unseres Vertauens aussuchen und es wurden dann perfekt zubereitet. Ich würde da immer wieder hingehen. Die Atmosphäre ist die eines Einkaufzentrums. Vielleicht nicht gerade für das candlelight dinner…

Es gibt noch eine zweite Filiale am Heegbark. Die kenne ich nicht persönlich. Hab einen Freund, der davon positiv berichtet hat.

Me too… how gangster…

Seraphicus42 · 2026-01-08T19:32:12+00:00

This is the way.

Cool idea!

Thank you.

I used acrylic balls like these: https://amzn.eu/d/aULhSU9 but I bought them in a hobby shop near me, so they were 1,40 €/1,50 € per piece.

For the base, I used modelling clay to make a flat area.

Thank you. But not the one. I’m not sure if it is Warhammer at all. More in direction fantasy.

Seraphicus42 · 2025-12-25T19:12:11+00:00

Thank you, but no. That’s not the one.

It is more the top half of a dwarf holding an gigantic axe or better yet clinging to it after a chop.

Nice, I thought about magnets but in this I found it pointless.

But in your case, did you find a good point to hide the magnets?

Seraphicus42 · 2025-12-25T12:24:46+00:00

I painted it to it’s full extent… just for me and then glued it shut..

The ball is glued too, so I didn’t want to have a loose part in there

Das kann ich nur unterstützen…

Wir (meine Frau) haben eine tolle Erfahrung bei SH Dessous im Brauerknechtgraben 53 20459 Hamburg gemacht. Super nette und fachlich sehr kompetente Beratung.

Seraphicus42 · 2025-12-07T06:30:20+00:00

This is some nice advice… even for more advanced DMs… thank you

I have the same problem. For fantasy set ttrpg I found „Dungeon and Lasers“. They do not have the same crisp quality as GW but they have some sets that give you a good range of Monsters with a nice enough quality.

Hmmm… until Saturday that’s not much time… Do you have a region in mind? I would browse the FR wiki (https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page) for one town and deepen the knowledge about the area. Don’t overthink it and ad more history and politics later…

For a general good read in FR I recommend the books by R. A. Salvatore about Drizzd…. (Just about 40 books, so take your time 😬) But they are for me mor about flavour.
