I like Campaign Logger because it's light, it grows as I write the game, even during the game. If they got cool !stuff, that's findable as well, along with what they $paid for it. This website lets you manage campaigns down to the finest detail. The same posts will show under Players, maybe under ^factions as well. Obsidian Portal is a godsend for GMs, and it works beautifully with any game. So when I sort for places, all the posts about what happened at #Veil show up. The site helps you manage your tabletop campaign, offering up wiki-like functionality, character sheets and trackers, adventure logs and the like for free. For example anything that happens around the port town of Veil is typed as #Veil, and the '#' symbol tells the program to tag this post in the Gazetteer. I like how you used the comments in your adventure logs to continue the play and get some issues hammered out before you get back to the table. ENnie award-winning site Obsidian Portal has been bought by one of its developers. This tool lets me take notes about the game as it happens, in short, twitter-esque statements that are easily tagged by category to make them searchable once their entered. Not a lot of backstage area for the GM.Ī tool I use a lot that I didn't see on your list is Campaign Logger. I got a lot of use out of Obsidian Portal but have drifted away because I'm terrible at CSS, it really seems optimized for active, constant updates which none of my group is interested in helping with, I'm terrible at CSS, and while the tool seems well aimed at showing other people how cool your game is there could be more content for me to help make cool content for my game. Obsidian Portal is more lightweight, browser based, and in many ways a scaled up, gaming oriented wiki library. Reminds me of Campaign Cartographer in that it can do amazing things, once I complete the intensive training course. I just find the set up cost in time and effort a little steep, partly because I feel it rewards doing a lot of front loaded content creation for your campaign, and I like developing things as they go. The ability to create relationship maps is nice as well. I like that there are player versions of your Realm, and you can just reveal information from your database as they learn it and it populates in their version. Realm Works has a great deal of potential, and a lot of features. Roll20 Another web-based, pen-and-paper resource, Roll20 goes the extra mile in bringing tabletop to the 21st century while maintaining the hobby’s creativity and imagination. Obsidian let’s you create your own system from scratch and encourages writing while remnote encourages an active recall/spaced repetition approach and is more focused on outlining. I have experience with Obsidian Portal and Realm Works, from this list. For me, Obsidian is better for personal knowledge management while remnote is better for studying.
