Software for creating a custom hypertext / hypermedia hexcrawl

Twine Obsidian.md

    Twine and Inklewriter have served me well for journaling pointcrawl style solo play, but I really miss the ability to move around a map at a glance. Ideally I want to be able to have either a hexmap or a good abstraction of one that allows for hyperlinked keys with additional information. I can implement this on an interactive fiction software using loops for additional information, but this seems like it will get unwieldy fast, esp. As I start putting my dungeons online. At one point I was making an improvised hexmap using the canvas view in Obsidian, but it got super annoying trying to link the hexes together. Also, as I have a Midjourney subscription, I want to be able to key a hexmap with more than just text.

  2. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
