Vault log

Changes to how the vault is organised: migrations, renames, new conventions. In-world history goes in the session notes, not here.

2026-11-03: Source books

  • Added sources/, a gitignored symlink to the GM’s Google Drive folder TTRPG/Shadowdark. sources.md lists and summarises the books. mise run source-text shadowdark extracts them to sources-text/ for searching.

2026-11-03: Import from the old Obsidian vault

  • Imported the old shadowdark Obsidian vault into this bundle and converted it to the shared ontology (ARCHITECTURE.md, SCHEMA.md). The old vault is retired; this bundle is now the source of truth.
  • Names: every note is now a kebab-case slug with typed frontmatter. Links target slugs.
  • Characters: PCs and NPCs share characters/. The PC sheets’ stat tables use one row per stat, which the lint keeps in step with characteristics:.
  • GM split: NPC stat blocks, secrets and hooks moved to -gm companions in gm-notes/characters/. Vorosh, Ziladian, the Hawk Bandits and the Ras-Godai are GM-only until the party meets them. The empty NPC stubs (Sir Remy, Lionne, Brigg, Urgana, Una) are GM-only too.
  • Sessions: the date-named game logs became numbered recaps (1–4). The prep from 2026-09-21 and 2026-09-28 became the Session 5 plan in gm-notes/sessions/.
  • New notes for entities the old vault named but had no note for: Grumby, The Raid on the Caravan-Town (fixes the broken centaur-raid link), Shar Oasis, Thraxis Arena, Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur, and plot threads for the trial, the duel and the arena bout.
  • Dropped Welcome.md and the empty Daily.md.
