The DM Compendium

Search and insert Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition monsters, spells, and items into your notes.

Features

  • Insert formatted monsters, spells, and items from the command palette.
  • Generate monster statblock YAML compatible with popular Obsidian TTRPG tools.
  • Render inline spell and item cards in reading view.
  • Choose which D&D sources are included in search results.
  • Cache selected compendium data locally for faster searching after the first load.

Usage

  1. Open the command palette.
  2. Run The DM Compendium: Insert from compendium.
  3. Choose monsters, items, or spells.
  4. Search for an entry and select it to insert formatted content at the cursor.

To refresh cached data manually, run The DM Compendium: Refresh database.

You can assign custom shortcuts for these commands from Settings > Hotkeys.

Settings

Open Settings > Community plugins > The DM Compendium to choose which sources appear in search results.

TTRPG plugin compatibility

Monster inserts are designed to work especially well with the Obsidian TTRPG Community plugins:

Inserted monsters use statblock code blocks with YAML fields expected by Fantasy Statblocks, including the Basic 5e layout. With those plugins installed, the generated monster cards can be used as rendered statblocks, added to a bestiary, added to the initiative tracker, and used for rolling HP, attacks, and other supported rolls directly from the card.

Disclosures

  • Network access: The plugin downloads selected compendium JSON files from the GitHub API at api.github.com/repos/guykahalani/the-dm-compendium when the local cache is missing, when sources are changed, or when the refresh command is run.
  • Local file access: The plugin writes cache files into its own plugin folder under .obsidian/plugins/the-dm-compendium/cache.
  • Account requirements: No account is required.
  • Telemetry and ads: The plugin does not collect telemetry, analytics, or usage data, and it does not show ads.
  • Platform support: This plugin is desktop-only because it uses Node.js filesystem APIs for local caching.
