This free D&D campaign management app made me a better DM by helping me be more organized. It has helped me access information quickly during gameplay, and easily record everything. Obsidian.md is the program I've been using to run my most recent 5e campaign, and I've really been enjoying it! This could be used to run any TTRPG campaign. I'm going to show you the free plugins I've been using that make this a really excellent campaign manager.
Thank you to all my Patrons!

Sees the video thumbnail "I'm already using a pretty good one, and I JUST hit that learning curve for it... buuuuuut, I gotta see what this is." "Oh, that looks famili--- Oh, it's Obsidian! What I'm already currently using!"
-
I'm using a spiral notebook, random scraps of paper, a tablet, post it notes, a dry erase map, UDT, and some youtube music when I remember to turn it on. It's all easy to source, but none of it is free and it's pretty jumbled up.
-
My current method of campaign management is using scrap pieces of paper that i gather before each session and hoping everyone remembers things the same way from previous sessions lol. I went ahead and set up Obsidian as close to this tutorial for now. Thanks for the upload and guide.

FYI, Obsidian is not open-source. However, Markdown is an open file format, so you will always be able to access your notes. I've been very happy with Obsidian for my campaign. Great introductory video!
-
This video cursed me. I have been spending every spare waking hour i have formatting and organizing my notes into obsidian. Finally getting to leave onenote behind is a breath of fresh air I didnt know I needed
-
You're my favorite pringles man.

Most underviewed d&d channel
-
I think Calendarium is no longer in beta- I was able to install it straight from the plugins menu
-
Thank you for this video. I am more of a “show me how it works and tell me less about what it is” type learner, I liked that you included both perspectives. Take care.
-
So I tried this out and I wasn't sure if it'd actually work for me. But no, I am absolutely in love omg. I'm a person who is obsessed with organization and this program ticks so many boxes in my brain it's amazing
-
You need to set light theme to activate the style settings effect
-
Up until now, I've been using my brain to manage my campaigns. Come to think of it, that's probably why I keep getting so many migraines...
-
Strongly recommend Josh Plunkett Obsidian TTRPG youtube videos. Really very, very good and useful.
-
I always look forward to your videos. They're both informative and fun!
-
So happy to see more videos about Obsidian, especially for TTRPG! It's truly a lifesaver.
-
tried this out and wow I am loving it so far to manage my campaign! thank you so much for posting this!
-
Thanks man, I appreciate the tools you help provide through your research to make D&D easier and more fun for us. I don't have anything else to say really, just commenting to support the channel. Cheers from Alabama!

This app is amazing, thanks for sharing! I had my campaign notes completely scattered between a dozen apps, PC documents, handnotes and stuff, but now I'm putting them together and it looks really neat! Thank you so much!
-
Just installed the app and moved my notes from two small journals to the obsidian surface. This is super helpful, thanks a bunch!
