Obsidian. Whatever everyone else is going to say, Obsidian either encompasses it, has compatibility with it, can import or export as it, or has a plugin for that.
>Obsidian
Does obsidian have a plugin that magically makes it not DRM spyware?
explane
It comes drm free, schizo.
The way that Obsidian is packaged when it's first on your computer is completely DRM free. It's the plugins that you have to worry about. When you install Obsidian all it is, is a way to organize your thoughts into a personal wiki and the only time it interacts with the internet is if you upload your "vault" using the share system. However, I will say that when you install plugins, there are different degrees of trust you can have in the different plugin authors.
For instance, I downloaded a dice plugin that let me roll dice while I was writing, and it was a small file that never interacted with anything else. It just did what it said on the label and literally was just a line of code that generated numbers. Meenwhile, another plugin that I used was for organizing maps, and in order to use it, the plugin wanted permission to view said maps, which is sort of fishy. I get why they'd need to see 'em but also, if the app ever stops working properly I'll just tell you, you don't need to look over my shoulder.

Looks like a more moronic version of cherry tree.
What are the benefits of obsidian over cherry tree?
There are bad bot threads and there are blatant bot threads...
... and then there is this crap
>and then there is this crap
It is really a serious question about organizing your things.
>How do you organize things?
...The frick? What kind of moronic question is this?
If it's serious then OP is either developmentally disabled or a child way too young to be here. Might as well ask "do you use hands when playing and if so, how".
>...The frick? What kind of moronic question is this?
One that is smarter then you.
>"do you use hands when playing and if so, how".
Peak moron.
The equivalent would be
>Do you draw if yes how exactly
no i do it in the cloud

>i do it in the cloud
That is literally a nonsense statement
>no i do it in my butt
>>no i do it in my butt
See
It is even worse
Q: Do you use a computer?
A: NO! I use a computer someone else owns!
Fricken LOL!

At the end of the day the only people who can really live up to this screed are people who go out of their way to do so. The average joe nobody doesn't give a shit and certainly not a business that isn't relying on pulling the heart strings of a given customer to stay afloat. Hell, even then, you're reliant upon the goodness of someone's heart to make such applications as dude is asking for.
To note, I'm not against this but I'm against the naievness of how it sounds and simply understand that at the end of the day even though I know how to build my own computer I'd still pony up the money to have someone do it for me because I'm lazy and don't want to have to deal with the potential of me fricking it up and wasting the money with only myself to blame.
probably the only thread where this gonna be relevant to ask but
If I'm using google sheets and want to make an index (like hyperlinks to different sections within the same tab), and then I ALSO want that tab to be portable (so someone else can copy and paste it into their own sheet)?
The way I do it now, it refers to a random page in the new person's sheet.
>Right click a cell in the new sheet
>View more cell actions
>Get link to this cell
>Go to a blank cell
>Insert link
>Paste the #gid and hit enter
See that #gid followed by some numbers then &range=? Change the #gid part of the broken links to the new sheet's #gid. I'm not familiar enough with Google Sheets to know why it doesn't automatically update the links but the above should fix your issue.
I just right it down all on several notepad txt files, all tucked away folders within folders.
I use a binder, paper, and a pencil. Like God intended.
>I use a binder, paper, and a pencil.
Post your system and how you organize your paper.
I use notion because its the best
For system writing, obsidian for sync and publish. Between phone, laptop, and desktop sync is invaluable. Publish let's me just drop a link to play testers so they can read the rules. For running sessions I just have a txt for each session. I might make a char sheet for important characters, but it depends.
Emacs. Has tables, an outliner, can import pictures and live preview LaTeX. And the format is just text recognized universally.
No learning required (orgmode) just install Emacs and go.

Gets updated and saved every 2 weeks with work stuff.
I've switched to having a lot of hardcopy books of things I want to use and trying to limit how many get used per game to 3-5. Printing off smaller booklets, buying a few core books from companies I like, making notes in a notebook.
While other programs are a community project Obsidian has a company behind it.
Yo can bet your ass people gets paid to shill Obsidian here.
Every file on the desktop, icons as small as possible. Run out of space, add another monitor. Bing bong so simple.
Thanks to the Obsidian guy the thread got derailed since the first post.
What the frick is this thread? What does this have to do with /tg/?
Back to the topic, I get my stuff all ordered into folders and subfolders sometimes. But what I use is outliner files to stuff things together inside files, is a tree or hierarchical tree structure.
My game mechanics, acronyms, settings, solo campaigns, all do be like that.
Then the ebooks, pictures and whatever are all in this folder/subfolder hierarchical structure, which is thematic so is easy to find.
My RPG folder is just a huge folder called "RPG uncorr" because my original RPG folder got ruined in the hard drive crash of 2016
It's disorganised, mostly contains a bunch of games in folders named for them, and unsorted PDFs I've not bothered to move out of root
the whole machine is like this, I live like this, and I won't change.
Start by keeping a pen, paper, and notebook.
All computers and smartphones are banned from my tables, including my own.
I have a folder called RPG and I just throw every pirated pdf in there.
