Yes, no problem. Can you email johnn@roleplayingtips.com the alternate email you want removed, or DM here.I think I had an alternate email join this challenge. Any way to merge/remove it?
Hey Christian,I was in the process of trying to organize my hard drive materials when this challenge arrived in my inbox so I eagerly joined. My biggest issues is that I have a ton of pdf materials from drivethru rpg and dms guild that defaults its organizing by company name which isn't helpful in finding specific things. So I have started dumping it into piles like you suggested but I was hoping to go further and create a database like adventure lookup where I could do queries to find specific things. However, after hearing your story at the start of the day 1 video I am wondering if that is too much. I know it would be a lot of work but just wondering if the time sink would be worth it to actually have a sense of what I truly have to work with. Thoughts?
I think I am a little out of my depth with that. I am just learning Access. I would love to see how this is done.I would suggest a PDF indexing search engine. Windows search can do this, but you cannot get to the data yourself. Everything 1.5 alpha adds content indexing. You could go full Solr or Elastic but this surely is technically involved. But reading your posts I now want Elastic to index all my PDFs for easy DB querying.
I would place this in with the encounter I think. Just thinking of how many screens I would need to go back and forth on and try to limit it.So was wondering do you think digital tactic cards and stuff like that for goblins hobgoblins etc would go in Cast of Characters under my GM subfolder, or in my plots folder in the subcategory encounter folder?
thank you for the reply. Yeah, I'm having trouble deciding certain things. I have so many digital files and templates and generators and things like that. Wondering if i should place certain things in my main Tools folder and into a sub folder there or the folder of the type of templates and generators. I'm going to post my main and sub folders when I'm done organizingI would place this in with the encounter I think. Just thinking of how many screens I would need to go back and forth on and try to limit it.
In my experience, the best answer is in the first place you'd look.So was wondering do you think digital tactic cards and stuff like that for goblins hobgoblins etc would go in Cast of Characters under my GM subfolder, or in my plots folder in the subcategory encounter folder?
