Obsidian Cards Tutorial

okay, i keep hearing people talk about obsidian and i haven't seen anyone else explain this so tutorial time wahoo

create a new base, change the layout to cards

now your gonna want to go into whatever headmate profile ur using. Type --- and name the file whatever you want, I'll do "image"

copy and paste your image link into the property. this must be from an image host.

Go back to the table, then click the "image property" and change it to your image name.

Tada! Add images for all your profiles.

To add details

add another property, and write whatever info. go back to your base and add your new property. you can do this for whatever info you want.

Obsidian System Template

full vault template

Hello Tumblr!

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.

All community plug-ins were found directly through the Obsidian app, using the browse feature. I didn't download any external plug-ins.

System Organization Obsidian Vault Template

We made this with the intention of being viewed on desktop. We've never seen it on mobile, so please do fiddle around with stuff. This template uses SimplyDecor's Obsidian Template as a jumping point, though it has been heavily modified from the original to suit our own needs.

EDIT (5/28/2026): A new alter profile template has been added! There's currently only two changes; The alter roles section has been expanded to include Fronting Frequency and Elaboration Level. The Gender/Orientation and Role/Frequency/Elaboration sections have been made into charts!

Download on FileGarden or Google Drive!

Obsidian Template Inspiration (SCP themed)

This is not available for copy & paste/download, this is simply for other people to take inspiration off of, since I've seen many wondering about what they should put on their Obsidian headmate templates. (If you are wondering how to use the templates core plugin, please see our guide, which walks you through that and more.)

Final disclaimer, that we did take the decorations (? I'm not sure what to call it) from another template, this SCP themed one by @random-mogai however basically only the "document details", the notice, the "description" line and "interests/hobbies" section are kept (roughly) the same. Most everything else has been changed or messed with to suit our personal needs.

Obsidian Template Inspiration (train ticket)

This is not available for copy & paste/download, this is simply for other people to take inspiration off of, since I've seen many wondering about what they should put on their Obsidian headmate templates. (If you are wondering how to use the templates core plugin, please see our guide, which walks you through that and more.)

This one is entirely made by cogwork-poet, and is meant to resemble a train ticket. It's supposed to be smaller and more compact than our general template. You know, when we don't feel like writing down a bunch of shit, and just need to get someone logged.
