The **Initiative Tracker** plugin keeps combat encounters inside a note by turning an `encounter` code block into a live tracker for turn order and creature state. It lets you add creatures and NPCs, record health, armor class, status and initiative, then sort the list automatically as the fight moves forward. Identical creatures can be grouped together, renamed for clarity and added by fixed counts or dice rolls. The plugin also stores encounters so they can be reopened later instead of rebuilt each time. It can calculate creature experience points from level or challenge rating and it works with custom creatures as well as SRD entries supported through Fantasy Statblocks.

The **Solo RPG Toolkit** plugin adds a small set of tools for running tabletop sessions inside your vault, with most features aimed at solo play and GM emulator workflows. It includes quick dice rolls, a standard card deck, oracle major arcana cards, and custom decks built from local images or image URLs. You can create random tables from notes, add templates with keywords, weights, folder references, and cutup mode for pulling snippets from longer text. It also renders inline elements such as counters, progress clocks, boxes, dice buttons, and spacing blocks for compact stat layouts. Most of the content is driven by notes and folders, so tables and decks stay easy to extend.

The **Open with** plugin for Obsidian allows users to open their notes in other software programs through customizable commands. This plugin supports a wide range of applications, enabling seamless integration between Obsidian and other tools. Users can define specific programs to open their notes, making it easy to extend Obsidian's functionality and work with external software. This flexibility enhances workflow by enabling quick access to various applications directly from within Obsidian.

The **Generic Initiative Tracker** plugin adds a combat tracker to the side pane and lets encounters be created directly from notes with an `encounter` code block. It handles players and creatures, supports optional HP, AC and initiative values, and can add multiple copies of the same creature while keeping duplicate names distinct. Combat can be started, stepped forward or backward, rerolled, reset, or stopped from the tracker view. Creature names can resolve like wiki links in rendered encounters, and notes tagged `#condition` can be pulled in as custom conditions. The plugin is a trimmed fork of a 5e focused tracker, so it drops system specific import features and keeps the encounter flow more system agnostic. Initiative formulas can also use dice expressions.

The **Gemmy** plugin introduces a playful and unconventional assistant for Obsidian, designed to bring humor and randomness to your workflow. With its two main features, Gemmy can randomly say things at customizable intervals, adding an unexpected twist to your notes, or pop up in a writing mode to 'motivate' you when you're idle for too long. While the plugin's purpose is largely for amusement, it may inadvertently boost productivity with its occasional writing prompts. Gemmy is completely customizable, allowing you to adjust the frequency of its interactions or disable it entirely. This plugin is perfect for those who enjoy quirky, lighthearted tools in their note-taking environment.

The **Swiss army knife** plugin offers a set of small but useful utilities for Obsidian, designed to streamline tasks and enhance workflow. The plugin provides commands to remove duplicated empty lines, clean up empty lines, and download plugin versions based on tags. These simple functions make it easier to manage content in your notes and improve the overall organization of your Obsidian vault. Ideal for users looking to automate basic tasks and optimize their note-taking experience, this plugin offers a handy toolset for maintaining clean and efficient notes.

Swiss army knife

The **TV Tracker** plugin for Obsidian helps users track and organize their movie and TV show collections. It integrates with the TMDB API to fetch details like titles, posters, cast members, and ratings. Users can add movies and TV shows to their library, filter and sort them, and view detailed metrics on genres, actors, and production companies. The plugin offers features like viewing episode details, tracking total viewing time, and discovering new content based on personal preferences. Customizable settings include the API key, folder path, and display options, making it highly flexible for users who want to manage their entertainment library directly within Obsidian.

TV tracker

The **Draw Steel Retainer** plugin adds a compact combat tracker for Draw Steel sessions. It opens from the scroll ribbon and shows an initiative tracker view built around two tables, matching the game's initiative style instead of a plain turn list. The main setup lives in the plugin settings, where you can add player characters once and have them appear automatically whenever a new tracker is generated. The current feature set is narrow and focused on encounter flow, with the tracker doing the core work and little else around it right now. The README also points to planned additions such as negotiation tracking, montage test tracking, DM tooltips, class specific trackers and a monster statblock CSS snippet, but those are not part of the plugin yet.

Draw Steel Retainer

The **Verse of the Day** plugin for Obsidian allows you to easily insert the daily verse from YouVersion into your notes. By simply using the command palette, you can add a new verse each day to your Obsidian vault, offering a quick way to keep up with daily spiritual readings. This plugin supports adding the verse directly to the selected location within your note, making it a seamless experience. The plugin is designed for users who want to incorporate scripture readings into their daily note-taking routine.
