Campaign Website
A few months ago, I posted an article about building a campaign website to keep track of your game’s story, characters, and other various elements.
One of the most difficult parts of building a website like this is finding hosting and getting the necessary software set up on the server - wikis are obviously the best but they are also difficult to deal with.
Micah from ObsidianPortal.com got in touch with me recently to let me know about the website - which provided a free automated hosting space for people to use as a campaign website.
Some of the basic features include an NPC, Item and DM wiki, making it easy to make changes on the website and keep track of events, characters and items. In addition to the campaign management features, the website makes it easy to publish your campaign or keep it private - you can even use the website to hunt out new players, based on geographic location or other search parameters.
If you’re looking for a simple solution to handle your campaign website, check out Obsidian Portal - if you don’t need anything other than the basics described above, it’ll certainly meet your needs.
Is there any other software or websites that make this process easier that you take advantage of?

Check out tiddlyspot.com, which allows you to set up a tiddlywiki in seconds for free. No ads or anything. Personally, I prefer tiddlywikis to real wikis, but unless you share the password only one person can edit them… so keep that in mind.
For example, my last campaign was at http://taintedlands.tiddlyspot.com/
