We discuss Ali Abdaal's comments about equity investment. And analyse whether large "creators" are better defined as media organisations with responsibilities.

    Writing in Obsidian

    In this episode we're talking about Writing in Obsidian more specifically how Jon uses Obsidian for DND! We chat about how Jon finds the app helpful for initiatives tracking in combat encounters by having character sheets and abilities easily accessible. It also allows players to review past sessions or research the world in more detail. As a planning tool, Jon can organise locations and NPC profiles to develop adventure ideas. With its interconnected nature and multi-device syncing, Obsidian provides Jon a smooth DM resource and accessible player companion to document his group's tabletop roleplaying adventures.
