• Seeking advice on one rulebook to rule them all

  When you said hopefully to include player campaign notes, I thought of kanka. It's somewhat less feature-rich, I think, but it is potentially-free and collaborative. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there any software/drive shortcut to make wiki style Campaign Notes?

  I use Kanka, I’ve found it to be excellent. A few key points: - there are loads of different page types you can create, characters, locations, organisations, items, it’s quite varied. Although you can’t make custom ones I’ve never needed to. - you can easily link to other pages within your Kanka campaign by typing and @ followed by the name of the page, so @Barry will pop up a list for you to select from your...

  I've also heard some pretty good things about Kanka (https://kanka.io/en), though I haven't tried it myself yet. Source: over 2 years ago

• Current state of world-building software?

  I'd like to drop another big fat recommendation for Kanka; I had been researching various campaign management solutions off-and-on, so when a thread on the topic appeared here 3 months ago I took a deeper dive into it and made a summary of what I found. The short version is if you're looking for something more than OneNote/Google Doc-level, Kanka frankly beats the pants off everything else available as a free... Source: over 2 years ago

  There is also Kanka which is like WorldAnvil, but you can create secrets (i.e. Wiki entries that you can see but players can't) for free, whereas you need to have a subscription to do that in WorldAnvil. Both Kanka and WA can also support campaign and session notes but I find Notion less cluttered and smoother with more formatting options and works great on mobile too with its own app. Source: over 2 years ago

• Campaign Management Site?

• Useful DM tools - 2021 Edition - What are your favorites?

  Kanka: a (free) wiki-like website for your game/creation, you can see some exemple here. Before that I was using DMmaps + OneNote but with Kanka it's much easier and smoother. Source: about 3 years ago

• Notes from a current run I'm GM'ing

I recently found Kanka.io which is a wiki designed for RPG's and I'm building out all the characters and notes into that for a database for me and the runners. Source: about 3 years ago
