Hallo, Hello, Hola, Aloha, etc.
I kept notes for a five year-long D&D game in Microsoft OneNote, which worked fine, but I kept wishing for more features. I'm hoping y'all can recommend something better suited to my desired use.
- Page per game session (day), unless there's a better paradigm
- Crosslinking easily, so that I can link every appearance of a character in the notes to a page for that character (or spell or place or organization or whatever). Is it possible for this to happen automatically by linking future uses of that word?
- Some stats about frequency e.g. "this character has appeared X times" or "player X rolled a 1 Ytimes". Probably achieved by counting the number of times a page was linked to?
- Ideally, but not mandatory, collaborative. I'm capable of self-hosting either full time but maybe some have a "share on local network" option to use during a session.
- Inserting images
- Open source is preferred for ethical reasons, but I can use proprietary or paid software
- Don't care much about text formatting
I appreciate any input!
Obsidian (free, not open source), logseq, and tiddlywiki will all do most of what you want, except maybe the collaboration bit.
I'll check them out - thank you!
