Moulinette Plugin for Obsidian
🕑 Added 2024-02-10 14:13:24 +0000 UTCExciting news to share with you today ... Moulinette is now available as a plugin for Obsidian, an incredibly versatile app as a TTRPG Campaign Manager.
If you don't know Obsidian or how it can be used to manage your campaigns and game sessions, I recommend this great YouTube video from Nicole van der Hoeven : My Setup in Obsidian for TTRPGs in 2023.
The majority of you probably use Moulinette in FoundryVTT. However, Obsidian remains extremely interesting for managing notes and preparing game sessions, much more easily than managing journal articles in FVTT.
Rediscover in Obsidian the Moulinette experience and the ease of downloading images, music, maps... and much more!! If you love Moulinette, feel free to share the news in your communities ♥

Feature Overview
When you want to enrich a note with an image or a music, open Moulinette (default shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+M), navigate and search through your content, then select the desired asset. Moulinette takes care of downloading it and inserting the tag into your note.

- Search
- Browse by creator and pack
- Filter by type : image / audio / text
- Lazy-loading
Markdown Notes
The plugin also supports a new type of content: Markdown notes. These are simple texts that can be game rules, descriptions of buildings or locations, adventures, etc. Even though there aren't creators offering this type of content on Moulinette yet, we have provided notes for Open5e rules (D&D) and a few examples to experiment with this new capability, only available with this Moulinette plugin.
Free for communities
Moulinette warmly welcomes TTRPG communities and offers free use of the service to facilitate access and distribution of rules to game masters and players using Obsidian (of course, the community must respect copyrights).
Note that communities do not need to fear dependence on the Moulinette service. All content is managed and maintained from a repository (on GitHub) owned by the community. Moulinette simply integrates to facilitate content search and distribution.

New opportunity for creators !
Markdown texts support opens the door to new creators : writers, story tellers, adventure designers, etc. If you have imagination, the ability to structure content, write, and prepare adventures or stories, Moulinette gives you the opportunity to monetize your talent! You can even include references to images, maps, and music from other creators in your content. These assets will be automatically downloaded (provided the user also supports its creator). Collaborate with other creators for incredible results!!

Just the beginning
This is a relatively basic first version that replicates some features of Moulinette for FoundryVTT. I'm sure you'll have many improvements to suggest and new use cases to request. I look forward to your feedback!!
Special thanks
I would like to thank @Xaqaria (Discord) for reaching out to me and suggesting this new integration (a big project!) and for his passion for the subject!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I am deeply sorry and ashamed for not even noticing it while preparing the announcement. I have replaced them with new images and informed the creator who has removed these images from the platform. Thank you again for your vigilance!

I’m really concerned by the obvious AI art in the cover image for this post. I thought AI art wasn’t allowed on this platform?
Moulinette
This feature is now available. Moulinette is also officially available on Obsidian plugins, btw. I'll make an announcement later this week.

I'm excited at the prospect of building journal entries and scenes in Obisdian and then importing them into Foundry VTT. Will it be possible to store our own content in a private git repository?

A way to define a folder for the moulinette stuff that gets downloaded to drop into would be nice (I prefer zz_moulinette for folders that aren't going to be me going directly in)
Moulinette
Thank you for your support! This is still a very early release. Your feedback is welcome.
Moulinette
Thanks! I'm glad to hear it.

This was exciting enough to get me to sign up

This So Genuinely RULES Oh my lord, I wrote my last novel in Obsidian, it made everything so much easier with only a little bit of fiddling. I love it so much. I love this so much too, cheers!

I don't know how narrow the audience of people this applies to, but as one of them, I'm excited as can be. To DMs out there looking for a better solution, take a look at obsidian I cannot recommend it enough
