    If you know your way around Docker or can set up a php -environment you can host Kanka yourself.

    For just general campaign management, e.g. keeping track of NPCs, locations, session logs, and all the other generally in-universe stuff I use Kanka. I've tried a few other sites, but never liked them as much. It makes it very easy to keep track of things for a sandbox game with a lot of stuff going on and hundreds of active NPCs. No more "Who is that guy? When did we last see him? Wait, he's the guy that the cousin of the murdered magistrate was suspicious of, right?" because I can just drop a quick link that pulls all of that information together.
  • Campaign organizer?

    I highly recommend Kanka.io. You can log, link and share anything campaign related you could possibly want.

    Maybe Kanka. It's similar to WorldAnvil that is mostly free. The only difference between each type of membership is the file size limit of what you're trying to upload. But AFAIK even as a free user, you can upload as much shit a you can as long as each individual file is below the limit (3MB for maps, 1MB for other files for free users). It's a dealbreaker for some since they have to downscale their maps and artworks to upload there.

    I prefer to use https://kanka.io/ and the module https://github.com/eXaminator/kanka-foundry/ so i can manage many references and sync many worlds together.
