Important Note: The vault assumes you have already (or will) learn how to use it using the tutorials available at https://obsidianttrpgtutorials.com/. This is NOT an out of the box solution that just magically works. It's a DEMO of what can be achieved that expects you to tinker and tailor it to your own needs.

Note: Vault was designed for use on a PC, not on a mobile device. It may work but experience will differ depending on device. Chrome Books are known to struggle under the load of lots of plugins.

CREATE NEW VAULT
Download the *.zip file. Available at the bottom of this post.
Extract it somewhere on your PC.
From Obsidian. Use the Open Folder as Vault option.

Select the unzipped folder called 'ObsidianTTRPGVault'.
The vault will load into Obsidian and it will prompt you to enable Community Plugins.

Tip: If you don't get prompted to enable plugins, then you likely created the vault on the wrong folder. It must be created on the folder that contains the /.obsidian folder. It should look like this.

UPDATE EXISTING VAULT
The new templates are reliant on each other. By this I mean the Places notes will automatically check for people that live or work in that place. Thus updating an existing vault to use the template requires a few steps.

The following files have changed and would need to be copied into your vault.

• /1-DM Toolkit/Home - DV.md

• /1-DM Toolkit/Home Embeds - DV.md

• /1-DM Toolkit/Home.md

• /1-DM Toolkit/Home Embeds.md

Note: The ones with DV in the name mean they use Dataview. I am in the process of updating everything to support Bases with plans to release that once Bases is available to the public. If you are already an Insider then the vault is updated with some new Bases to explore. This is still a Work In Progress and as Bases is not released yet, it's possible that Obsidian will update it with another breaking change.

Folder structure under 2-World. If you copy all the sub-folders into 2-World is will update with any new ones.

• /z_Templates/World Builder Templates

Copy this whole folder in. This is the actual new templates. The ones with BASES in the name are not linked to any of the buttons yet.

• /.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-meta-bind-plugin/data.json

Contains the new button templates. This contains the Meta Bind Button Templates. If you have existing Meta Bind templates you need to carefully merge the two files using a Text Editor.

• /.obsidian/snippets/Tab_Icons.css

• /.obsidian/snippets/TabsInObsidian - MaxH.css

• /.obsidian/snippets/TabsInObsidian - MaxH480.css

• /.obsidian/snippets/SailKite - chassis_callouts.css

• /.obsidian/snippets/SailKite - TabsInObsidian.css

These new CSS files are used by the new templates. You need to add these to your:

• <vault>/.obsidian/snippets/<copy here>

Then enable them under Obsidian > Settings > Appearance > CSS Snippets.

Tip: There is a button here that opens the Snippets folder. Make's it much easier to find!

GETTING STARTED

Once you have your vault up and running you can use the new Templates from the Home screen. Simply press the + button to open it.

Templates are designed to be commenced in a specific order.

• Start with a Region. This is a larger body of land where lots of other things exist. This might be a government state or a forest.

• Within the Region you can make a Hub which is a place where people gather. A hub contains lots of other places. Maybe a city or town.

• Within the Hub you can make Places. This might be someone's home or maybe an inn. The Hub has automatic categorisation for different type of places.

• Within the Places you can make People. Maybe they live or work there. Or maybe it's just where the party encounter them.

In this example. The City of Screams is on the Island of Skulls. Within the city is a Commerce place called the Shop of Stuff. The NPCs tab shows People that live and work within the city.

SUPPORT

Patreon is notorious for terrible notifications which means I often don't see when people post things in these posts. The absolute best place to get help and find me is our Discord channel. Go to www.obsidianttrpgtutorials.com and the link to the Obsidian TTRPG Community Discord is on the top of each page.
