Snippets and templates for setting up and playing the solo journalling RPG Apawethecaria in Obsidian.md.
Apawthecaria can be a bit confusing and involve a lot of back and forth between encounters and foraging and so on.
Note: The screenshots show the flowcharts in my dark custom theme. If you copy them into your vault as .canvas files, they'll be the same colour as your theme. I plan to create light-mode versions at some point.
I made a flowchart to take you through all the different forks and decisions you need to make every time you make a move.

It's available as an Obsidian canvas to save directly into your vault, and as a (huge) PNG for those of you who'd prefer to be able to view it elsewhere. (Now includes Soaring.)
This part's not nearly as confusing, but I thought it still might come in handy to have a flowchart for it.

It's also available as an Obsidian canvas and a PNG in both light and dark modes.
I'm using statblocks from the Fantasy Statblocks plugin for things like character sheets and encounter cards.
You need a few things for these to work:
- Fantasy Statblocks installed and enabled
- The JSON file for whichever statblock you want to use
- The matching template (.md file) for whichever statblock you want to use.
The CSS snippet for the statblocks is optional. Mine make my statblocks match the main colours from the Apawthecaria map, but you can stick with the plugin's default or style your own. I wrote this snippet before I learned how to use theme variables, so you'll need to go through the Set up Variables section at the top and change all the colour hexes (e.g. --statblock-background-color: #C0AD9B;
) to suit your theme.

The NPC statblock is short and designed for quick notes about characters you meet on the road. You can get the JSON for the statblock here (to import through the Fantasy Statblock plugin) and the markdown template here (to save in your templates folder).
Note: I also use the NPC statblock for location cards (like for Odoak) to save on layouts. Just have the name, image, location, and description fields, and you'll get something like this:

This is a great way to copy the ailments from the PDF into Obsidian. You can link to tables that list [TAGs] for easier research for reagents. And you could have a rollable table that links to all the ailment cards in your vault so you can go right to the ailment when you come across a patient who's suffering from it.
The JSON for the statblock is here (to import through the Fantasy Statblock plugin) and the markdown template is here (to save in your templates folder).
I'll add more templates for them (and maybe the CSS, too) when I'm done fiddling.
