Hah, I'm using Obsidian as well and had pretty much the exact same thoughts, some of the plugins in the video I hadn't been using though so I might pick up some of those. Obsidian is amazing though.
Not quite the same for me, but when he mentioned the name of the tool it rang a bell. Turns out I had it already installed for testing. The tutorial made me want to test it more thoroughly. Thanks Power Word Spill!
@urosmirkovic8353 Yeah, but the connotation could sound as if you were saying that he gets zero views because he isn't a good creator (which obviously is not the case) so that's likely why they wrote that
Thank you for this video. I am more of a “show me how it works and tell me less about what it is” type learner, I liked that you included both perspectives. Take care.
I tried Obsidian, but then switched to Notion bc Notion allows free syncing between devices, meanwhile as Obsidian doesn't. That was the game changer for me ahah
just a heads up you can use any cloud storage and just store your vault on it effectively syncing it to any device. unless your notes have a lot of high rez pictures then the size is just text files and so free versions are usually plenty of space (google drive is 10gb for instance)
@@ZaquilleOneal that's mostly true. If you are using Obsidian on a mobile device, it can't natively access Google Drive. There ARE workarounds using third party apps to synchronize local folders with GDrive folders, it's just an extra step you have to be aware of. Still going to be a deal breaker for some, but I find it worth the effort. My decision point between Notion and Obsidian was that with Obsidian the files are in my possession. Bonus points for them being ASCII text files that I can be sure will be readable indefinitely.
I was building a fandom wiki for my homebrew world and all the lore when one of my players introduced me to obsidian. He had been using it for taking notes in both university and D&D. The best part was that the formatting it used was the same as fandom wiki’s. So I ported all of my work across in no time. Obsidian is the best DM tool by a long shot. Glad to see other Dungeon Masters hopping on the trend.
I'm using a spiral notebook, random scraps of paper, a tablet, post it notes, a dry erase map, UDT, and some youtube music when I remember to turn it on. It's all easy to source, but none of it is free and it's pretty jumbled up.
Much better, just dedicate a notebook. The video lost me when it said "oh you need to copy-paste some code" what? there is no feature that actually makes it easier then using google docs, put text generator etc to a tab (via chat gpt). He makes it like having a tab is the worst.
This is me but physical, I do everything on my laptop but I have a 1000 different word documents, google docs, excel sheets, and essentially just notes randomly everywhere online.
When I was thinking of using a physical notebook, I came across metal rings. They are partly expensive but allows you to add and remove pages effortlessly. If you have access to a computer and a writing app such as Microsoft Word, you can create the types of pages you need.
FYI, Obsidian is not open-source. However, Markdown is an open file format, so you will always be able to access your notes. I've been very happy with Obsidian for my campaign. Great introductory video!
Try Logseq if you care for FOSS software. Basically does the same things, has all the same features, over a hundred plugins, etc. Sure there are probably some differences and some plugins available for one program might not have a direct analogue in the other, but in most ways it's pretty much the same.
@@hummel6364 I saw this and thought it was great until I realized that it didn't have folders (it has it's own sort of system I guess but it's still a dealbreaker for me)
Wanted to note that your channel has genuinely added to my campaign and overall enjoyment for my players. I started using improved initiative in addition to the "player facing screen" and added some artwork which has revolutionized combat and prep. Thanks for creating content that makes a meaningful difference!
Josh's videos will take you from Obsidian being just slightly better than Notion and others to easily the best DM management tool period. Anyone starting out watch some beginner videos and then look up the CLI videos they are game changing.
I currently use Notion and have created separate Player facing and GM facing documents. I like the ability you mentioned to create a wiki with Obsidian. My daughter actually just got excited about Obsidian last week for her upcoming campaign so your video could not come at a better time.
@@mitchevans9685 I may have to look into the option with Notion at least for my current campaign because I have built an extensive database. Definitely interested in Obsidian though. Thanks for letting me know it is an option to create a wiki with Notion!
Please note that if your system settings are set to dark, the theme will not load properly. Go to Options > Appearance and set the "Base color scheme" to "Light" for the theme to render correctly.
I've been using the Obsidian app on my phone for a while, but this video opened up a whole new world of ways to use it with plugins once I get a new laptop. I appreciate you and all the great things you bring to the D&D/TTRPG community.
Thanks man, I appreciate the tools you help provide through your research to make D&D easier and more fun for us. I don't have anything else to say really, just commenting to support the channel. Cheers from Alabama!
Obsidian helped me enjoy playing Traveller a lot more as I often found it confusing and couldn't keep track of how things worked. Just finished setting up my weapons section with an ammo tracker, plus tick boxes and number entries which are used in an equation to add everything together (aim rounds, if the target is tagged, short range bonus) and add it all together for me. It's now on hiatus lol But have branched out and am now using Obsidian to help DM Candlekeep Mysteries. I would be lost without it!
I’ve used obsidian to map the whole Castle Ravenloft with transition to, from and between locations of the castle. Took me one and a half days to map it all out and note everything important but in the end it was worth it - I know the layout so well, that even when my players started running the stairs like headless chickens I knew precisely where they would end up.
I would love to see you make a more in-depth guide at some of the features/plug-ins from Obsidian. You do a really great job at making things easy to understand/digest
Yep, obsidian is king for note taking. It took me 2 years ro find the note taking app that worked for me and while I was starting to program my own I found obsidian. Never looking back.
I have been using Wikipad for a few years, it doesn't have interactive maps, but otherwise it works very similarly to Obsidian. For the structure, however, I divide Setting (Geography, Calendar, Pantheon, History); Creatures and Organizations (NPCs, Cults, Orders, Guilds, Animals, Monsters, Archetypes); Rules (houserules, special objects, often used rules etc.); Campaign (Characters, Chapters, Main and Side Missions, Summaries)
Oh hell yeah! I’ve already been using Obsidian but my understanding of how to fully utilize the product is very minimal. This is going to help A TON. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Also, thank you for going over how you organize your notes. I like it a lot and plan to copy it for my campaign.
Thank you so much for sharing this tool. I had heard some people talk about this before but had no idea it was this amazing. I've started using it and moving my notes over to it. Its easily better than most of the tools I used combined! AND FOR FREE! And soo easy to use with great plugins.
One of my sons has been getting into DnD at school and he's asked me to run a one shot for him and his brothers. I have no idea what am doing but all this looks really useful!
Wow when i see people with sponsors that use campaign management tools, i usually shut off and skip the ad. But your explanation has been incredible. And so informative down to the step by step process. Ill be saving this one for later. And check out your other vids. Awrsome job 🎉
I've been using the notes app on my phone and various notebooks and pieces of paper for my planning across multiple campaigns, this is probably going to make everything easier (if I don't get bored of importing notes 10 minutes in)
Obsidian is amazing, Ive been using it for months and loving how organized it is. Glad to see you promote it! Love you content especially your craft stuff
When I saw “paid promotion” in the corner I wasn’t convinced but then you said that the sponsor was a separate program! Obsidian is awesome, and I use it occasionally for development for an upcoming RPG system and setting

Oooohhhhhh, very interesting. And I'm glad the promo isn't x% off, but an extended tutorial! Makes it easier to try and get it built one month and test it during a session next month!
I use Notation to manage mine. Its amazing being able to write a story, and link text to another page with full descriptions of locations or even linking dungeon in the sentence "Players will clear dungeon" then i can open a window or a full page to a full guide, map, monsters, stats, and treasures in a heart beat. Its like having a world map and hard zooming in on a neighborhood at whilm.
Do you mean Notion? Or Notation. I am heavily considering transferring all my notes into Notion and building a database and player wiki for my next campaign there. Would you recommend it over Obsidian? I may use obsidian for birds eye view story outlining, I simply love what all you can do with Notion.
@@Skellybr0lol I'm dumb, yea i meant Notion. Yea I would recommend it over Obsidian. I tried over 15 campaign organizers and like Notion the most. I believe the campaign organize you pick will be the one that reflect how you like to see your story the most and I don't see my campaign as arcs or a country/world, I see it as a story. Notion allows me to write an entire story with the ability to jump around different alternative timelines depending on what my players do with the ability to look read over arcs in minutes but same time see exact details. For example I can write "They can choose to betray the king and escape the city or stand with the knights and defend against the hord" and link the text "they escape the city" to a page in a page with a description to run an entire session on their escape and then say "they run through the sewers" and like the text sewers to pull up and entire mega map with full details of room descriptions, encounters, monsters, and secrete passages in Notion notes. It honestly feels like sky diving on google maps to a random street lmao
lol, I was excited to learn about a new tool only to discover its what I’ve been using for a year. Not complaining, I always like seeing how other people use it.
If your PC is set up with a dark theme and in the Appearance tab at the top If 'Base Color Scheme' is set to dark or Adapt to the system, the WOTC/Beyond theme will not match up. You will need to change the setting to light.
I have all the plugins installed and it's working fine, other than the fact my map is a map of the USA. I put my own map in the vault and have the proper name for it but still, USA.
Thanks for sharing. I've been using Trello for organizing my notes for campaign planning and prep. It's searchable, I can embed images, there's labeling systems. I work as a glorified project manager, so I'm comfortable with this kind of format. It's definitely not for everyone.
For me the ITS + WOTC color theme only worked after I changed Settings/Appearance/Base Color Scheme from Dark to Light. When it's Dark (or system setting makes it interpreted as Dark) the color theme for the background is a black color and not the paper like color seen in the video ^.
I moved from Notion to Obsidian mostly because I hated how slow it was. Even just searching for a note took too long, which is kind of unavoidable with any service that relies on an Internet connection. I can fly around my Obsidian vault and get anything I need with one keyboard shortcut and it takes less time than loading a page in Notion. If your system works for you, that's great! I'm just presenting one big reason why I switched.
Ive been usin Notion and Sly Flourish template but this is even better in terms of flow and feeding information in a cycle. Can you please keep covering things like format headings for sessions and npcs and locations. Access to these formats would be amazing
I use my poor memory and player notes! Mostly kidding. I use google docs... And player notes! I like to let them recap each session, as it let's me see how THEY saw everything go down, and sometimes I need to take note of what interested them or stood out as noteworthy. That alone has helped create better plot hooks for them. All that said... i might need to check this out...

Ive been usin Notion and Sly Flourish template but this is even better in terms of flow and feeding information in a cycle. Can you please keep covering things like format headings for sessions and npcs and locations. Access to these formats would be amazing
oh ill definitely save this video! currently using notion, but since i can program, sounds like obsidian is a great alternative with way more options
i came for the video title but i stayed for the mustache
wow! thank you... I had been using Obsidian but nver got around to using plug ins... this seems helpful
You earned a sub my man. This is amazing.
I use my poor memory and player notes!
Mostly kidding. I use google docs... And player notes! I like to let them recap each session, as it let's me see how THEY saw everything go down, and sometimes I need to take note of what interested them or stood out as noteworthy. That alone has helped create better plot hooks for them.
All that said... i might need to check this out...
