The Plugin/Setting List (Turning Obsidian into a Campaign Manager) (Patreon)

This post was a starting point for many people.. but it's time has come and gone. The new and improved tutorials can be found at: www.obsidianttrpgtutorials.com

Here's a list of recommended plugins and settings that will turn Obsidian from a simple note-taking tool into a Campaign Manager Beast!

First configure the tool:

Settings > Editor >

• Spell check = enable
• Readable line length = disable
• Fold heading = enable
• Fold indent = enable
• Default new pane mode = I change depending on whether I am prepping or playing

Settings > Appearance >

• Base theme = make a choice
• Themes = pick one (recommend Alternative ITS Theme for DnD theme)
• CSS Snippets = take note of this. When you want to start playing with CSS this is where you turn it on.

Settings > Core Plugins >

• Outgoing Links = enable (this is automatic link detection)
• Page Preview = enable (preview pages when you mouse over a link)
• Tags = enable (quick view of all tabs in a note)
• Templates = enable (template support)
