  5. Get TTRPG Karma.

SRD Guidelines

  1. Create all callouts, headings, file structures, tag structures, YAML, and appearance changes with the defaults themes and plugins in mind.
  2. However, work with what Obsidian does have. It does have MOCs, tagging, linking, and great folder management. Try to incorporate all of them.
  3. Match the file structure as close to the original SRD as possible. For example, if a PDF has a top-level section called Playing the Game, with sub-sections and notes, one of which is named Combat with more notes under that, you will want to match that structure with Folders. Your Vault will have a Root Folder named Playing the Game and inside that will also be a folder called Combat.
  4. Set your "Converting Vault" to use Markdown links, as Github will not accept Wikilinks. Additionally, set your "New Links" to be "Relative to Path in File."
  5. Place items, skills, beasts, classes, actions, conditions, etc., on their own notes. It helps later on when the player or game master decides to use plugins, needs to link, or needs to move things around.
  6. Items, Skills, Stats, Spells, Monsters, and links to other files should be linked where it makes sense. Not every word needs to be linked to the appropriate skill within the vault, but think about what would be helpful to you as a player, and as a game master.
Can Use a Link or Two Can Do Without or Minimal Use
Being Prone: When you are Prone, you can't use your Move Action until you use the Get Up Action. Not everything on The Street is determined with fists or guns. In a world where combat can end your life in a hot nanosecond, other methods have evolved to determine who is going to be the top dog in a potential conflict.

  1. A certain amount of inclusion of qualify of life is nice, but you do not have to do this. For instance, replacing d6 with dice: d6 tells the same story, but also makes it so when Dice Roller is installed, that note is ready to go. Similarly, naming a note in the Combat folder Combat and having it also be the Map of Content or Table of Contents, makes it so that if someone installs a folder-note plugin, its all done for them.

  2. Last but not least. Think about what you wish you had when you started Obsidian as a resource. What were your pain points when you incorporated your own data into the vault? Can you address this in this SRD? If you downloaded the DND SRD, what would you have liked out of it? What would you have done better?
