This is something I didn't expect any time soon without third party plugins. So far, I've migrated only a few of the articles from my Kanka campaign to my Obsidian vault as I needed them, but lately I've grown tired of copying everything manually, this is a godsend and I will definitely be done with the migration before 2025. Great news, thank you for letting us know about this features!

it seems only various complements on the patreon vault and my vault is working, the built in monster search fucntion of Fantasy statblocks doesnt ever trigger, so I have to manually type out monster names, which is fine, but confusing as to why it doesn't work, especially in you patreon vault. the monster icons also do not appear.

@moongiggler I see that sometimes too. I suspect it's various Complements fighting with the search feature of fantasy statblocks. I tend to do a quick dataview. Something like show me all monsters with goblin in the name so I can get the spelling right.

A quick way of parsing a webapge is to use the developer tools. In Chrome you can press CTRL+SHIFT+I to open up the tools. Select the "Elements" tab. Then press CTRL+SHIFT+C to enable the element selector. You can then mouseover the page. On the page a tooltip will display some relevant details with a shading that shows the size of the element, whilst the developer tools window will display the actual html that this refers to. If you click on the element then the tools window will show the CSS that is being applied to that element.

You said it, Game Changer!! Kind of inevitable as it's effectively a reverse of the obsidian publish i.e. obsidian is a wiki platform at it's heart, so converting between .md and html is a core functionality. But to make this easy so idiots like me can do it, is priceless! But like web scraping tools, can see future pushback from website owners since they don't want their content to be hoovered up by all & sundry. Also can see more complex websites and especially dynamic modern coding would defeat this tool. Would be ironic if the game sites are actually created in obsidian in the first place...

I tend to disagree to an extent, if theres html content on a webpage then this tool is great , not sure why you would need it if not to pull html content. And there would have to be like wholesale adoption to really get a response like trying to combat it, like if microsoft rolled it out in its edge browser natively ... in this scenario you might have some pushback from devs blocking its functionality. A couple of hundred thousand obsidian users are a drop in the ocean lol

I think there are some community plugins for managing images and making them local or other things to save space and stuff like that. Maybe worth checking out since I haven't really had to mess around with them and I'd be curious what you find out. Not sure how to adjust the external URL webpage links to local ones, but, my idea involves having some sort record for each note about what its source URL is and then using this to assist with converting other external links referencing the local note to the necessary updated links.

I keep hearing this perspective of how world building and being a DM are completely separate undertakings that have no utility for each other, and I still don't really buy it. To me, the utility of world building has little to do with details per se, but rather the context those details can create. Knowing the economic underpinning of a small town and its species makeup is not important by itself. Understanding how those details might effect the relationships, attitudes, livelihoods of the people that live there, does. Otherwise, all you'll end up with is generic lumber towns with no depth or context at all.

Cool stuff, I can also see uses for this for organizational charts for factions, for example, with some modifications. A suggestion for an improvement: It would be nice to be able to enter names as obsidian links (i.e. [[Bob]]) in the property fields; I think it would make it less error-prone. Right now, if you already have a note for an npc you want to enter, if you mess up the spelling, it won't show up, maybe you'll even accidentally create a duplicate note.

Yes I was thinking of extending it to things like cities showing who's in charge or important aspects like law, religion and magic. Mermaid is pretty funny about how it handles linking so I don't think having the links in the properties actually works.
