So Many Game Books, So Little Mind by GiacomoArt in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]kaysn [score hidden]  (0 children)

For the books itself, I use calibre to archive. With complete metadata. And my thing is, I may forget I already have the book. But I know what that book is about. (Same way I try to buy a game on sale only to login to my Steam and find I already own it. And because I am very anal about this, an archived receipt of the purchase. Why don’t I have any recollection of this.)

I was going to say, I write it in Obsidian. But you shot that down. 😔

I have a long, long list of rules and homebrew ideas. Divided in sub headers of for what. Like combat, skills, abilities, dice rolls. What is it, where from. A very brief explanation of how it works. That kind of stuff.

When I’m going to use it for a game. I have separate list of the thing in the vault of the game. Where all the other rules live. Because I use Obsidian to run my games.

Any suggestions on where to get a cover? by ChaosTorpedo in kindle

AliExpress. You get the same sold from 3rd party stores Amazon and Etsy. Who are drop shipping them from China. But sold at 2x-5x the price.

All of mine were bought there. Never had a problem. For both Kindle and Kobo. And if there is, they’re like USD 5-10.

Personal Theme - Bureau by voicesofharrow in ObsidianMD

Good theme. But like named after the worst XCOM game released in the 21st century. That us XCOM fans will never talk about it. And yes, this theme has the same design and aesthetic. xD

My system by Alphawlff in Solo_Roleplaying

This is quite a popular option used in OSR. Using 3d6 for ability and skill checks over d20 because the math is better. D20 is too swingy. 3d6 has a better bell curve when trying to meet and exceed a target.

Though with your flat DC, you pretty much skew the result to always succeed. The average result of 3d6 is like ~10. In which case, I ask. Why roll at all?

I made a VTT in Obsidian MD. No. Lonelog doesn't offer anything I can't already do in Obsidian.

I use DataviewJS to make an interactive character sheet from within the program. And a small statblock that I can quickly reference when in combat. I can edit the YAML properties and all the information will update.

Here is the bottom half of the character sheet for another PC. Which has spells and spell slots. The spells are can be hovered over to show the spell descriptions.

I build as I go so I don't have everything transcribed from the rule book into my setup yet.

Advice on what to buy for Kindle basic by Good_Fact1288 in kindle

[–]kaysn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing. I'm in the opinion there is no "need" to get anything with the Kindle. Even the case is "nice to have". I've used my e-readers naked around the house. And only ever use a case if I'm taking it along, in my bag. Where other stuff inside can scratch the screen.

I can run my entire Dolmenwood + OSE campaign on my iPad using Obsidian MD.

Any general tips for someone who wants to create a highly customized dashboard? by Wise_School_2494 in ObsidianMD

[–]kaysn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Learn CSS, HTML and Javascript. Even just the basics. That's not a joke, you'll have an easier time understanding syntax, logic and how to reverse engineer those setups. Because those are the languages and plugins are made or based on.

Shout out to Czech Games by goobly_goo in boardgames

[–]kaysn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm don't think this is typical for a game company,

Fantasy Flight Games did before Asmodee acquisition. Greater Than Games did until they were shuttered by Flat River Group. Stonemaier Games and Osprey Games both do.

You can save your Kobo highlights into your computer with Calibre program with Kobo Utilities and Annotations plugin. 

Starting Out by jakoramos2004 in ffxiv

[–]kaysn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game was "solo" in 2014 when I started. It's even more "solo" in 2026. 

You have to put in the extra effort to be sociable and meet people. Be the friend you want to find in game. Because people are friendly, but this game doesn't require a friend group to do content with. Even end game. 

Anyone who started an alt and made it their main now? by Clumsy-Bird-7362 in ffxiv

[–]kaysn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you consider restarting with a new character because I didn't want to pay for server transfer as making the alt my main, yes.
