For Rock and Stone!
For how I document, well it's pretty loosey-goosey, other than locations I don't really have much structure. Each note just kinda has whatever I think is important with lots of links so I can find it again. I do try and keep ideas fairly atomic - a single idea per note, so that they can be used as building blocks for other notes/ideas.
For organization I am not using tags, I am using folders, and I change up the heirarchy as needed. For a while I had a Flora and Fauna folder, but the world I am building has a lot of non-earth creatures and plants, so those needed to be split out and given more ease of access, so now I have two separate folders at the top level. Right now I have:
- Culture
- Factions
- Fauna
- Flora
- Magic
- Materials
- Regions
- Species
- Ideas (random thoughts go in Ideas before they are made real)
Stick with Obsidian and use the Digital Gardens plugin - it is perfect for your use case. Practically it gets your obsidian vault (or just the notes you select) up on the web in an extremely similar format for free with pretty minimal effort.
I think I agree, especially when those abilities are tricky to line up, are situational, or an option of a few choices, etc. It's important not to gatekeep how people have fun or how they feel cool!
Yeah, definitely a bit of a longer read, and I feel like the ending of the article could have had more of a completed thought / conclusion, but all the same it really got me thinking in a good way.
I think I the article is really good because it does capture a feeling I have been trying to focus on for my next game - that feeling of doing something cool.
A friend showed me ~30 seconds of gameplay and it reminds me of the flash game Stick RPG - looks like fun!
Ahhh nice! I didn't realize this one was here too not just on reddit 😁
Oh wow, I did not know I needed this in my life! New sub here.
Fingers crossed, I have been sticking with samsung for its Dex desktop interface, but this could be a serious game changer!
Yeah, that is a bummer for sure. I use my nextcloud server and Immich a ton for files and photos, but even so, on device storage is still necessary for a lot of things.
I like it, as long as there is a why (and it does not even have to be obvious, it can be discovered as the story progresses). I like your solution, I'm always a sucker for giant cosmic space god heads.
I build for ttrpgs (GURPS in particular) and like to run many campaigns in one world, so having some believable inter-nation politics / conflict is a must.
Also, if there are gods or super powerful beings, even high level spell casters there needs to be a good solid reason why they aren't the ones who are saving the world. The Forgotten Realms made me question that too much, as a player I was meeting all these high level beings and they told me to go into the pit of evil bad guys who are going to take over the world.
