Welcome to The Goblin's Notebook! It's hard to really understand what apps like this can do without seeing it in action and you probably don't want to have to spend time creating some data just to just have a look, so you can click the 'load demo data' button below to load a pre-created small campaign into your notebook to look at and play around with. Alternatively, if you do want to start with an empty notebook just click 'start empty'!
You can load and re-load the demo data set at any time from the import option in the campaign preferences.

Only show objects explicitly linked to chapters

New child objects use parent object chapters
When this setting is enabled, child objects will be linked to the same chapter(s) as the parent object. When disabled, all new objects wil be linked to the currently selected chapter.

Highlight note references as connections
Make objects that are referenced in the notes field of other objects more obvious in the lists by highlighting them in the same way connection are.

When this setting is enabled, the quick list when mentioning objects will search any part of the object name. When disabled, it will search the from start of names.
Columns and Default Status

Markdown templates are pre-written pieces of markdown code that can quickly be applied to objects so you can use the same basic format on many objects. You can specify a template to apply for each object type automatically or apply them manually when editing notes.
Add New Template
Like templates, markdown snippets are pre-written pieces of markdown code ready to drop into your object notes. Snippets differ from templates as they are inserted at the cursor position white editing your notes rather than replacing the entire note.
Add New Snippet
Dice rolls may vary based on game rules, such as rolling extra dice or doubling results for critical hits. Configure the modifier rules to match your system. These options are then available from the context menu for rolls matching the rules.
Add New Modifier Rule
Template allows you to create a rule with matching criteria from a pre-set list. Simple allows for text in the dice notation to be replaced with other text. Advanced allows for multiple matching critiera using regex. See more details.
