I've been using bases (in beta) for a month or so for the vault I keep for the notes for each of the (many) D&D/ttrpg campaigns I play in, and it's really made it a ton easier to get an overview of e.g. the many different NPCs we meet and interact with, and the relevant info (name/pronouns/pic/race/class/etc) all in one place.

The Obsidian dev team has been really responsive to feedback from those of us in the beta, and I'd encourage people to look at the changelog to see that in action (e.g. changing the syntax to be more object oriented, smoothing over UI issues, etc)

I also made pretty heavy use of plugins to manage PCs, NPCs, encounters, items (!!), custom tables, maps, and setting details in a single campaign. Led to a lot of bug reports for the D&D-specific plugins, but Dataview worked like a charm.

Having a more Obsidian-native interface for managing all of that is. Like other commenters, would definitely watch a video of you sharing your Obsidian "build" for that use-case.

Man, you probably gave me the only use case that could push me beyond my basic usage of Obsidian. [i wait for your YouTube demo. #PROOOOFIT]

		Lol, I'm not much of a "content creator" (though I'd recommend wanderloots' intro series on bases[1]), but here's a quick gist of what I extracted from my for one of my campaigns: https://gist.github.com/LordDragonfang/d826cb686c64d582afbe2... This is a combined view of the players and npcs from one campaign with the portrait gallery in the second view. I've got the official template plugin bound to ctrl-shift-2, so I just hit that to pre-populate the frontmatter whenever I create an npc/pc/etc note with the appropriate template.
