Campaign Managers

First Age

D&D h@ck3r and Hopepunk
In this week's pipedream, I have this idea of setting up a collaborative campaign where the setting is built between all the players and I use the inspiration directly in play. It's a nice idea, but I'm unlikely to get the buy in for such an endeavour.

Nevertheless, whether that comes off or not, I was wondering about using something to colletc all the maps and locations and stories and other things in an accessible, organised and shareable way. Briefly, I've looked at campaign managers, which are like structured wikis with gaming campaigns in mind. They look nice, but I'm wary of subscription and the free tiers are quite limited in terms of uploads.

My current thining is to use nimbusweb.me and create a shareable site with folders. Do any of you do something similar and do you have any advice?
 
I tend to agree a witty is the right way to go.
as long as you have grown ups and adults that respect each other it's a very good way of doing collaborative working and they are as free as the air we could host gone very easily on the gaming Tavern or some other domain we already own.
 
Would general productivity tools work for this? OneNote, Google Sites, etc should allow communal editing, setting some areas as private, links between items and so on, and probably have enough free storage space for whatever you’d need.

It wouldn’t need much more tech savvy from users to make a Tavern-hosted Wiki work, but OneNote and Evernote etc allow easy sharing from phones, simple apps etc which might improve engagement. I wonder if Discord will add file sharing/collaboration, too?
 
We used a pmwiki for Gwenthia, must reinstall it actually.

I have looked at nimbus.
It looks intriguing for play and work.

Happy to try it.

The guy at Roleplayingtips.com does a subscription campaign manager but it's not collaborative.
 
I'm currently playing in Masks of Nyarlathotep and using Dropbox Paper to keep notes and share with all the other players where they can edit, add comments etc.

It's fairly simple to use, uses an Outliner structure and markdown text, and it's quick and easy to link other notes or files.
