Adaptation of @snowcloudsystem 's bullet journal into Obsidian, for folks who want to journal digitally.
Please use their permissions: any system origin may use this, and keep it free if you redistribute!
To use this, you must have the Simple Columns plugin and either the ITS theme, or the relevant CSS snippet. The theme and plugin can be accessed directly from Obsidian, through the Community Plugins and Themes.
Image used for both the cheatsheet and alter intro is 300x400px, reduced in size to 200x267px for the cheetsheet using the ITS theme/CSS snippet.
Markdown code at the below pastebin -- once you have the plugins downloaded, you just need to copy and paste directly into the doc and edit as you desire :)
Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.
While I saw a DID template floating around for obsidian, I personally found it to be too detailed to the point that most of it would be hard to fill out personally speaking. This template focuses on ease of use and most important/basic information one could need for their alters
Pastebin for the template
What you need to get it working:
ITS Theme with this CSS snippet
Plugins: Dataview + Hider (optionally, for hiding properties in reading view)
*I have not tested this on mobile, this is mostly for desktop use
hi everyone! I’ve been doing some tinkering and I managed to get our current Simply Plural template into Obsidian!
we aren’t currently sharing the file itself but wanted to share this for Inspo purposes and to show folk that there’s other ways to set out your info.
EDIT: You can now find the file for this here > In this post
This is a project I've been working on for the last week or so, it's a full vault to use as a template for system tracking in Obsidian.
This template was created and posted by mod Moonstone - credit isn't required to be added in the vault itself, but I ask if you're sharing this elsewhere you direct people back to this blog. Do not claim credit for creating anything included in this vault.
If you notice any errors or missing information, or have ideas you'd like to be included in future versions, please send me an ask! Since I'll be able to add new files to the Google doc at any time, should I make more improved versions.
Not all pages in this include full templates, and I included minimal decorations. The point of this vault is to give you a starting point, show some examples for how to format things, and include all the pages you will potentially need. This allows you to decorate however you like, with whichever theme you choose!
Editing and adding your own things to the vault is allowed and encouraged! This template is a starting point, you're not bound by it.
How to use a vault template
I uploaded the vault as a zip folder to Google drive.
To use this template, download the folder onto your desired device, or an external drive, and then unzip it. The unzipped contents should already be in a folder, but if they spill out then just create a new folder and add them all to it.
Then open Obsidian, navigate to the page to open a different vault, and select the option to open a vault from a folder.
Next all you need to do is pick the folder you just downloaded! This should open in your app and give you the pop-up to either download and use the plug-ins available, or open the vault without them.
This template should work either way, but some parts do require plug-ins to work, I've labeled these with the plug-in they need should you choose to download them yourself.

Plug-Ins
When opening the vault, you can choose to open and use the plug-ins I added or not. If you choose not to, I've included a list of plug-ins both in the vault and here, should you choose to add them yourself.
All community plug-ins were found directly through the Obsidian app, using the browse feature. I didn't download any external plug-ins.
We will also tag anything potentially triggering with both #TW and relevant tags for the triggering content.
This blog does not add TW for system related topics such as dormancy, fusion, or splitting.
When posting templates I will also tag them based on theme, plug-ins, and functionality.
These will start with #template:
for example, a full vault template themed after cats with minimal plug-ins would be tagged "#template: full vault #template: cats #template: cats theme #template: minimal plug-ins"
