This has been my area of focus while learning Tiddlywiki. I agree that there are not enough "solutions" out there for this very common need in the gaming community.
Part of the problem is that "rpg entities" like characters, locations, etc can get very complex, with large amounts of meta-data like character statistics, environmental/magical effects, etc, etc. One half of the problem is storing this meta-data in a functional way, the other half of the problem is displaying it in a way the user/GM can access and edit it easily in the tiddlywiki UI. Tiddlywiki + TiddlyMap (plus a few other plugins) is _almost_ there. My idea of extending the JSON Tiddler support to allow for nested json objects would allow me to define templates for these complex sets of metadata, and also to define Tables (via JSON) that my RenderTable plugin would render via macros. See this github thread for the previous discussion on improving JSON support: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/3074 Very interested in any other ideas related to this. :) Best, Joshua Fontany On Friday, March 16, 2018 at 12:46:20 PM UTC-7, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > On Twitter it frequently comes up that TW is a great aid to Gaming > Campaigns.
