So there's a new(?) game management site out there. My GM heard about it on the Roll for Initiative podcast and it's run by gamers who were looking to create a site for their own group, after not liking some of the other options out there, and now they've opened it up for the rest of us.
www.epicwords.com
There's free accounts and paid accounts.
Free accounts can run 1 game as GM and have 3 characters.
Paid accounts get 10 GM campaigns and 15 characters as well as 1GB of storage space. I think they're still working on the dice roller. A paid account costs $12 a YEAR. Yeah.
Anyway, my GM has moved our stuff over there as Obsidian Portal was a bit too complicated to upkeep and was very wiki-heavy, which made things a bit more complicated for linking around and Google Groups is getting rid of file storage and pages as of Nov 1st. We've been using it this week and it's pretty awesome.
There's separate campaign and character journals, so you can keep player notes and GM notes on separate pages, as well as XP tracking, the GM can assign XP, you can select the ruleset you are using and the XP track so it'll even keep track of what level your character is at. There's a loot page where you can add loot, what it is worth, as well as keep track of individual and group gold. There's also a campaign forum.
Anyway, it's still pretty new, a bit rough around the edges, but the admins are pretty awesome and are adding new features all the time as suggested by the users. If you're looking for a site to run your campaign, check it out. I've been impressed so far.
