Taking notes for RPGs in Obsidian with Andy Polaine

My friend, Andy Polaine, joins me to discuss taking notes for RPGs in Obsidian. Andy is the Dungeon Master for one of my weekly games of D&D, and in this livestream, we're comparing our notes (his as a DM, mine as a player) for the same campaign, a homebrew one in the world of Exandria (from Critical Role). We're showing the differences between our styles of note-taking and playing games.
