## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Obsidian
|
||
|
|
1. Drop the files into your vault.
|
||
|
|
2. Update the YAML frontmatter (`campaign:`, `session:`, etc.) on each file.
|
||
|
|
3. Replace plain text references to NPCs and locations with `[[wiki links]]` to connect entries.
|
||
|
|
4. Duplicate `session-tracker.md` for each new session and update the `session:` field.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Discourse / forums
|
||
|
|
1. Strip the YAML frontmatter block before posting (everything between and including the `---` lines).
|
||
|
|
2. Paste the remaining Markdown — tables and checkboxes render natively in Discourse.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Other tools (Notion, Joplin, etc.)
|
||
|
|
Most tools import Markdown directly. YAML frontmatter may appear as a code block or be ignored depending on the tool.

|
## Workflow Suggestion
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
New campaign
|
||
|
|
└── Fill out session-zero.md with your players
|
||
|
|
└── Set up campaign-tracker.md with world and party info
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each session
|
||
|
|
└── Copy session-tracker.md → session-01.md, session-02.md, etc.
|
||
|
|
└── Add NPCs and locations to their respective trackers as they appear
|
||
|
|
└── Log loot in treasure-tracker.md
|
||
|
|
└── Plan encounters in encounter-tracker.md
|
||
|
|
```
