Ember Vault turns an Obsidian vault into a GM screen for the Nimble TTRPG. Your adventure stays in ordinary Markdown notes, and the plugin adds the tools you need at the table on top of them.
New here? Start with Getting started, or download the sample adventure and open it as a vault. It's a short dungeon with every feature already set up.
