Stoup - https://github.com/james-stoup, + +[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/dnd-before)" raw="yes"]] + +Being a Dungeon Master can be quite challenging. You are +expected to build a world, populate it with NPCs, and craft storylines, all +the while keeping track of various plot threads, magic items, and player +quests. It can quickly become overwhelming. Most DMs use a combination of +paper handouts, notebooks, websites, and note taking software to keep track +of everything. But there is a better way. + +Using Org Mode and Org Roam, we can create a system for tracking the game +in real time. Giving the DM (or player) the tools needed to record and link +relevant notes, without slowing things down. Additionally, we are going to +show off Org Roam's backlink visualization system for quickly discovering +links in your data. + +There are lots of tutorials on Org Roam that focus on the Zettelkasten +method. And while that is useful, most users aren't writing research +papers. This is a tutorial for the rest of us, a fun walk-through that +shows off the power of Org Roam via a realistic use case. + +About the speaker: + +My name is James Stoup and I have been writing software for +20 years. I have really fallen in love with Emacs & Org Mode these past few +years, so in my spare time I enjoy writing tutorials to help others get +into it as well. + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/dnd-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2026/info/dnd-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + -- cgit v1.2.3
