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 VAULTDownload 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 VAULTThere is no simple or easy way to upgrade from one version of a vault to the other. I would only recommend you try this if you are completely comfortable with how the vault works. I would instead draw a line in the sand and start creating new notes with the new templates and only go backwards if I needed it for a game.

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 Galaxy and build your way in.

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.

SUPPORTPatreon 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. UPDATES

10/04/2026 - Minor

Template - Point of Interest; the Parent Region was not populating.

Modal Forms had incorrect Source Folders for the input selection.

Parent Region MetaBind input was a Suggestor. But the entry options allow multiple choice so had to change to inlineListSuggester to display choices.

23/03/2026 - Minor

Updated Maps settings so that that horizontal bar is hidden which causes the map to be cantered within the template notes.

15/03/2026 - Major

Updated plugins

NEW - Added DnD5e-DMScreen-2024 (Kanban DM board for DnD5.5e)

REPLACED - Leaflet has been replaced with TTRPG Tools: Maps for all templates.

You can right click a map: Image Layers > Add Layer > Base... > to add a new map.

Note: TTRPG Tools: Maps includes Travel Calculation. DnD5e and PF2e Travel Packs have been included. Switch them in the plugin settings.

NEW - Added the Modal Forms plugin. This enables forms when creating new notes. Instead of a single pop-up asking you to select something as a parent. You now get a single form with multiple inputs that inform you on what you are picking.

All 'z_Templates/World Builder Templates' have been updated to utilise the benefit of Modal Forms.

Note: This increases the complexity of the templates further. I honestly don't feel great about this. It makes the vault easier to use but we're really getting deep into complexity here which will make it harder to understand what's happening.

NEW - HUBs with Districts!

This was honestly painful. But there are now 2x choices for Hubs. A basic Hub and a Hub with Districts. This starts to weave the templates together but it does appear to be working.

I've had to create Places within Districts as a template to make this work. Basically the same as a normal Place except it stores info about Districts also.

08/11/2025 - Minor

Added new Excalidraw drawing to help explain how templates work.

Updated plugins.

/.git folder removed - significantly reduces folder size.

Minor fixes identified by the community.

20/08/2025 - MinorI missed the DM Screen! This has now been updated.

19/08/2025 - Major

BASES Release!

All templates reworked to support bases.

This is a significant change to the templates replacing Dataview with Bases.

Home screen Dataview options removed and replaced with Bases.

25/08/2025 - Major

New Template - Galaxy

New Template - Star System

New Template - Sapient Species

New Template - Planet

Template Design note updated to reflect new templates.

Upgrade - Choice fields have been moved to Meta Bind Settings (Button Templates). This will allow changes to flow through existing templates.

Upgrade - Comments added to templates to help people understand how they work.

Removed - Some of the original bases templates were no longer functioning due to changes made through the development period. Have removed for now. Will update upon release.

Change - Some of the existing templates have been modified to enable them to function with the new templates. Point of Interest for example can now be used at a Star System level so it can be used to make POIs in space.

Added - Test notes for each type of template so users can see how they work together. Delete them once you no longer need them.

Fixed - Folder Notes Issue resolved by enabling the Folder Arrows.

Fixed - Templater Issue has been resolved by the Templater developer. Plugin updated to the resolved version.

Updated - All community plugins and themes. 24/06/2025 - MinorUpdated the character sheet template to use new changes made to the DND UI Toolkit plugin. Plugin not links to properties. Fixed bug in character sheet template where value was pointing to wrong property.

Where can I find the changelog ? Outside of the file itself I mean

CruelThunder

Hello Joshua, thank you for the update. What do I have to pay attention to when switching from the Vault Pre Template Update in order to be able to continue using my previous Vault?

Alexander Naber

Hey Joshua, enjoying the notebook, but I am noticing that whenever I use a template, it freezes my obsidian for a while, sometimes until i force close it. Is that a common issue, and is there a fix you know of?

Alexander Naber

The best solution I found was to have the button not switch to the new sheet when it created.

Stephen Smith

Is it possible just to copy notes and pictures from my current vault into the revised vault without breaking links? I tried that before and it appears I now have a bunch of broken links from pictures and notes. I don't want to do that again.

Luke

Hey Josh. I'm using your new Patreon vault and I've run into an issue with the "create new player " template. The race default is Half-Orc, but when I configure it to a different race it does not change. I also don't see class anywhere yet I can select one in the configure. thanks

Colton Milliard

There are certain folders in the vault that I can't seem to open unless I search for something that I know is inside it. How do I unlock these? Or is this a bug? It is freshly downloaded from here and I've added some books in through the CLI and I can't open the cli folder or the example parties folders.

Felipe

got to meta bind settings > input field templates > edit templates and you'll see the options there. just add the species you need.

JPlunkett

Yes but also no. By that I mean you can absolutely copy old notes over. But they wont be in the new format.

Norm Rasmussen

Is there something else I need to do to get the fonts to load? Specifically the headers. I don’t see the cool dnd-style fonts that are visible in your video tutorials.

LuckyDucky47

Hello! Im new here and was wondering if its worth diving into this one or if i should wait for the Bases version to come out. Is there an estimated time for bases to release? If its months away maybe ill just get started with this release.

John

how do i edit the table view on the home page the one with Island of screams, Journey Board ect? i want to change them to somthing else like a Timeline but cant seem to see how to do that

JPlunkett

Just go into source mode on that note. This section controls the links. Basically change the link and then the images to whatever you like. > [!cards|4] > **[[Test Continent]]** << this is the link > ![[The Island of Screams.jpg\|sban htiny ctr]] << this is the image > > **[[Journey Board]]** > [![[JourneyBoard.png\|sban htiny ctr]]](Journey%20Board) > > **[[Test City]]** << this is the link > ![[AdventureIcon.png\|sban htiny ctr]] << this is the image > > **[[Example Party 1]]** > ![[PartyLogo.jpg\|sban htiny ctr p+t]]

Buttonpusher RPG Maps & Words

Josh, thanks for sharing your work and knowledge with us. The Bases update looks great, with lots of potential. Could you remove the “.git” folder from your zip files above? That will reduce the download size by about 1.2Gb. Thanks.

Oscar Ibarra

is there a difference in the different attachments

Dave Walker

hi Josh, which of the 4 zip files should we consider most recent .. I can't tell if you're formatting the names the same .. is it DDMMYY or something else?

JeniT Shoemaker

Hi Josh et al! Where are people putting seas & oceans? And I need to manually add in my world's dieties - should they still go under mechanics even if they are not being imported via CLI?

JPlunkett

🤔 I don't think I have ever considered making a note for a sea or an ocean. I would use the Continent perhaps in that it sits under the Planet.

JPlunkett

Just the date stamps from when I released that version. Use the latest. The files are ddmmyy, so 200825 is 20/08/2025.

JPlunkett

Honestly I don't know how well this will work on such a small screen. Technically, it should work. But how it looks; that would be a completely different thing. You would need to find a way to get the vault onto your phone and extracted and create the vault from that location. The process will be different for different phones.

Mundoomoo

Hey Josh, i am using the vault to remake my character sheet for dnd 24 and im missing the race option for warforged and cannot find anything pointing the where the races are stored or where i can add one from the CLI. also is there the ability to add an equipment section that has checkboxes of what is eqquiped/attuned?

JPlunkett

Check in Settings > Community Plugins > Meta Bind under the Input Templates. The plugin has limited support. I would just make a list of items and have a checkbox next to them for tracking attunement.

Alexandre Giannuzzi

I downloaded the Patreon Vault but when it is opened and I enable the community plugins the vault screen becomes completely black and I can no longer interact with the vault, I got it wrong something? How can I solve this problem ?

Matthew Milez

I just installed Obsidian and purchased the vault, but we I open it, there is aton of "Button ID not Found " red text. is there a way to fix this issue?

JPlunkett

Make sure you have created the vault on the right folder. The .obsidian folder must be in the root folder of your vault.

JPlunkett

What are you running it on? Ive not come across this issue before. I would assume its something to do with the device and not the vault.

Casualclinton

how do i fill in the PHB stuff. or how do i put teh phb and xphb in?

NeoN_thriller

Hi, Thanks for this vault. I downloaded it and noticed one of the folders is a hidden .git folder. I think it is not needed. I deleted it and everything still seems to work. It saves almost 1.2gb of the file. Can you confirm it is indeed not needed?

Chronicles of Kaldinar

Awesome foundation to learn from, thank you. Quick suggestion on the filename date, use year month day as that will sort it numerically with the latest version always at the bottom in Explorer.

Sander Bjerknes

ObsidianTTRPGVault_08112025 seems to be the latest update and not ObsidianTTRPGVault_200825

Earle Kelley

I love this new vault, and am excited to migrate my current notes to Bases... My concern is that I have the following hierarchy for containers: Planet/Continent/Kingdon(orRegion)/City/District/(place, people, point of interest, etc.... How can I add the extra divisions into your code? (Speaking specifically about the Worldbuilder templates...)

Nathan Faulkner

For some reason, when using the dnd ui toolkit to adjust payer health values, the number changes on all player characters

Hussein

Hi thanks for your efforts working in this threed :)

ste

how do I disable the Clippy-like animated obsidian logo in the bottom right corner? ty! EDIT: it's called GRANITE.

Daniel Whiting

Hi, I've just installed the foundation vault, which is super helpful thanks! But, I'm having an issue with the DM Board which is not displaying my player characters in the table. Did I miss a configuration step somewhere?

James Long

Wow. Just found April recommending your video, which recommended downloading the file from your Patreon.. that I didn't even know you had!! (Instantly paid for a year). You've come a long long way from an empty Discord channel with 3 people in it. Congrats, you deserve it!

Nick Burns

This is such an amazing resource. I just spent the last week porting over all of my notes from an unwieldy Google Doc and even did some light editing of the templates since I'm running a game very different from D&D. Appreciate all the work you put into assembling all of this and making it so easy to dive in and modify.

John

I use Obsidian heavily for work, want to get into d&d with the fam - none of us have any experience - this is simply a priceless way to start the journey Thank you kindly for the amount of work you've put into it. PS bases are simply mind blowing, looking forward to them adding kanban options to it.

Kell Richardson

I am starting to get the hang of the vault but is there a video or article about factions? I can get the faction name listed at the bottom of the player sheets but no matter what I try they all say standing of 0 for the player.

Ken Schoonover

Thanks for this! I appreciate the hard work. I’m running into a slight issue with the character templates maybe you or someone can help me with. I have 3 characters set up and when I heal, damage, or add temp HP to one of them it affects all 3 of them. Any ideas?

Sven

Your tutorials brought me here, and I had to buy straight away! Great work, and excellent tutorials! I just have a couple questions - there's 2 sets of 'quests', 1 in '2.Campaign' and 1 in '3.world'... The create quest button only seems connected to the one in 3.world, but i can't move them cos all the links break. The same essentially happens if i try to make a new template out of the simpler one in 2.campaign.... Is there a simple method to switching or adjusting those?

Emily Mercurio

Hey! I'm wanting to learn some techniques from your vault but ultimately I want to incorporate it into mine. I tried to copy and paste a whole page into my vault but it has not worked (I have all your plug ins). Specifically I want to understand how you do the tabbed box output fields under the Region page. Do you have any videos on how to do that specifically?

Aidan Doherty

Hey there! I've just downloaded the most recent update and uploaded it to Obsidian but the files I extracted is missing the .obsidian with the plug ins. Is this missing from the most recent downloadable file or where can I find that? Super looking forward to using this!!
