Decided to try getting #Obsidian working for all my various #ttrpg crap and #worldbuilding crap.

Yeah I have forced myself to sit down and watch this "obisidian for RPGs" video and just doing what he's doing.
That's actually where I got my first complaint about clunkiness from because by default if you make a new vault it's just open...along with the previous one. But on windows if you try to CLOSE it by doing the natural thing of clicking the X button....the entire Obsidian closes.
It took me forever to figure out how to close just one vault.@glen_malley @dzwiedziu Hu. Advantage Mac. Because if you close the window you just close the vault

@gullevek
It could be possible with dataview or bases.
But those can be a steep curve as one'd need to write an SQL-like query.
@glen_malley@dzwiedziu @gullevek
I'm definitely not afraid of having to use queries. That's my dayjob. -

@gullevek @dzwiedziu
Yeah on windows it's not the X on the window itself...that closes the entire app.
It's the X on the taskbar representation of the window. Which is such a wild choice. -

Anyway, I will keep my bitching to a minimum. This video, while old and...a video...is not unbearable so far. -

Hey, if you need to we can listen (with the caveat that I immediately go into problem-solving mode). -

I'm just gonna follow this guide and see where I end up.
Whatever happens, it has to beat my current system of storing data in....Excel. -

Good luck -

This stuff was quite useful, once I figured out wtf was going on. Even though some of the data is very out of date. I've got a nice template system set up now that makes D&D style stat block pages. I'll start putting in my data next time.
