    Obsidian RPG Notes

    If you are like me you as a player or a GM like to take notes during a game. Or have one place on your phone, computer or Tablet to store all those images, character sheets and Sourcebook PDFs. Obsidian RPG notes is what you need.

    Notes for everything not just RPGs

    I use obsidian in my Mac Repair business in the Lithgow and Katoomba area to keep track of jobs and case notes. Obsidian uses a great feature of being able to connect notes to each other using hyperlinks.

    Instead of having one massive word document you can create individual pages for your character sheet and other notes and create hyperlinks. You can even embed images an pdfs into the notes

    There are a ton of plugins you can add to Obsidian including a dice rollers etc.

    what I like the most about Obsidian other than it is free is that it works well with iCloud while still being cross platform.

    the learning curve for Obsidan is not too bad. While it does take a little bit of getting used to how to create links and headings it does not require any HTML skills .

    if for whatever reason the App stops working the files are still in a format that most computers can read. So even if Obsidian goes bankrupt you will always be able to access your notes

    I may consider writing more tutorials on how to use obsidian for gamers in mind if there is a demand.

    New app for RPG equipment drawings

    While RPGs are theatre of the mind that does not mean we can’t give our minds a little help with images. After all the whole point of fantasy art is to expand the imagination. Some of us can draw, some of us can’t, some of us can draw but would rather be rolling dice. I have found an app that can help. Why not download an app for RPG equipment

    Instant Armory fun and easy to use

    So I decided that I wanted to try to design weapons for my Wood elf Ranger Jaro, (He’s a bit of a jerk and is always dirty) early on I decided he was going to be a two handed fighter vs a ranger who prefers ranged combat (don’t worry he still carries a bow)

    As a former soldier he would have preferred the short sword. Now I am an artist but there are times that I just want some quick designs or maybe even some inspiration.

    instant Armoury was a quick download from the App Store. Basically you select the different parts of the weapon and choose colour. But that was not what I liked about the app.
    After choosing the design and colour the app gave me the option to export the image to a few different formats what could you ask for in an app for RPG equipment

    parchment

    png (transparent background for adding to other images)

    equipment card (Holding a space for description and stats )

    What was even cooler was I was able to export directly to my files on my phone… that just happen to be the Obsidian App folder (The app I use as a database for all my RPGs as a Gm And a player)

    Unlocking all the features.

    Like most apps on the App Store there are free features and to unlock the whole version you need to make a few micro transactions.

    While I did think I would not spend this as a player as a Gm this might be useful to prep for a campaign.
