The Plugin/Setting List (Turning Obsidian into a Campaign Manager) from Joshua Plunkett's tutorials on using Obsidian for DnD

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, Light is best for DnD
  • Themes = pick one (recommend [Alternative ITS Theme](https://github.com/SlRvb/Obsidian- [ ]- [ ]ITS- [ ]Theme/blob/main/Guide/Alternate- [ ]Themes.md) for DnD theme. You'll need the Style Settings community plugin. Then copy the css from the Alternative ITS Theme page add it to CSS Snippets.)
  • 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)
  • Tag Pane = enable (quick view of all tabs in a note)
  • Templates = enable (template support)
  • Slash Commands = enable
  • Starred = enable

Settings > Community Pugins >

  • Auto Note Mover-Can be used to automatically file new notes into specific folders based on pre-defined rules. 
  • Admonition-Callout Boxes (Enhances callout boxes)
  • Advanced Tables-better table support
  • AidenX's Folder Note-Enable notes in a Folder like RW (Alternative is called Folder Note)
  • Banners-Add banner to top of   Note
  • Breadcrumbs-Relationships   between topics (up, down, next, previous, home)
  • Dataview-Advanced but very cool auto creation of tables

  • Initiative Tracker-TTRPG Combat Manager
  • Kanban-Kanban style notes
  • Media Extended-Allows embedding of more media types (YouTube).
  • Mind Map-As it sounds (I don't use this-try Excalidraw for easier mind mapping). 
  • Obsidian Leaflet-Interactive maps, pins, draw, etc
  • Obsidian Tabs-Changes the way tabs work (i have this OFF)
  • Pane Relief-Adds more history for going back in Panes
  • Style Settings-This plugin is used by other plugins to enable configuration of styles.
