I’m starting up another campaign shortly and I used to use OneNote for my session notes because it’s so easy to just put stuff anywhere on the page, which is really helpful for the scattered way I think.

But I switched to Linux since my last campaign and I can’t find something that I like that’s similar in that sort of freeform canvas.

I tried obsidian and hated it. I tried OneNote in browser and it’s just so much worse. I tried Notion and I did like it for a bit, but it’s really pushy about using its AI and linking to other pages and such.

So, yeah. I mean, my next thought is literally to start using Krita or Paint or something because I can’t find a program that’s just kinda bare bones and free form but lets me enter text wherever and slap down some character art, maybe draw a few arrows or something.

Help?

    Depending on your needs and how technical you are, Emacs and org-roam might work for you. It’s what I use. But my notes are strictly text, so I’m not sure how good image support is if that’s something you need.
