SCVM Birther

Create polished MÖRK BORG-compatible character notes in Obsidian from characters generated by SCVMBIRTHER.

SCVM Birther is a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) plugin for importing generated MÖRK BORG characters into a campaign vault.

The plugin opens the official generator rather than copying its source code, content tables, art, or prose. You copy the visible result you generated, then the plugin turns it into local Markdown with frontmatter, a compact stat callout, and organized sections.

Usage

1. Run SCVM Birther: Open SCVMBIRTHER generator or select the skull ribbon icon.
2. Generate a character on SCVMBIRTHER.
3. Press Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C on Windows/Linux or Cmd+A, Cmd+C on macOS to copy the page. SCVMBIRTHER does not have a copy button.
4. Run SCVM Birther: Create character note from clipboard.

The importer ignores unrelated page text and extracts the generated character. If clipboard access is unavailable, a paste window opens automatically. You can also paste text into an existing note, select it, and run SCVM Birther: Format selection as character Markdown.

The parser recognizes labels such as Name, Class, HP, Omens, Abilities, Description, Powers, Equipment, Traits, Habits, and Tales. Because SCVMBIRTHER does not currently expose a public generation API or Markdown export, its copied page text may require minor cleanup before importing.

Set the destination under Settings → SCVM Birther → Character folder. Existing notes are never overwritten.

Privacy

All conversion happens locally. The plugin makes no API requests, collects no telemetry, and stores no SCVMBIRTHER content except the character result you choose to save. Opening the generator uses your normal browser and connects directly to its official website.

Manual installation

Place main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css in:

<Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/scvmbirther/

Restart Obsidian, then enable SCVM Birther under Settings → Community plugins.

Development

Requires Node.js and npm.

npm ci
npm run check
npm run install:local -- /path/to/your/vault

The local installer builds the plugin and copies its three runtime files into the vault. Reload Obsidian, then enable SCVM Birther under Settings → Community plugins.
