  • If you are storing manly on one device and are looking for a relatively “simple” solution for encryption at rest I would suggest to just encrypt the folder/directory/image the data are living in.

    Of course, this way you have to decrypt the data while you are using it. However, it separates the responsibility from the note taking app.

    This may or may not be a good solution for your use case, but it should be fast and easy to implement.

    I used to do this with some mildly sensitive data using a mac encrypted disk image with plain markdowns files inside. I accessed the files with vscode, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work with Obsidian. It may just be a bit of a hassle to open the vault each time.






  • I think the price is fair from a labour point of view, however, I feel like there may be an issue of offer and demand.

    If you are not doing a specific commission (someone asked for it) who is going to buy it? I don’t see many people spending that much money on an utilitarian object where the art, for how nice it is, isn’t going to add much.

    You may find someone for which money is not an issue and want something “extravagant” on display in their office, like a lawyer or a doctor. But I think is a small niche.

    This also taking into consideration how sturdy the piece is. A regular folder can get damaged pretty quickly, which may put people off from buying it. Which may be doubly so if the art could get scratched or is unprotected.




  • I may be old fashioned, but I love to start in a tavern. It’s a place that can have a lot of npcs hanging around that can be introduced and then reappear later in the adventure.

    Usually I prefer to start with the party already formed, or have the characters have a connection between each other from before the start of the adventure. Imo it speeds up the initial stages of the game and gives everyone a preexisting reason to be in the party.

    I had some pain in the past with players that didn’t want to find a reason for their character to join the party, and asking them to have one as a prerequisite can help to filter too mich edginess from the scene.

    I also like to start with combat or some other dangerous situation. I start with some talking and a breef introduction to the aim of the adventure, then have something unexpected interrupt the talking, a fight, then back to the talking.
