I use a wiki (self hosted DokuWiki) to keep my current dnd campaign world organized. I create a page per NPC, region, settlement, event, faction, and such. I can cross link them together (which people are in which factions, which factions have relationships, which settlements they operate out of…). I find it helps me keep organized. Plus I can upload pictures or maps to add visuals.
I love pen and paper but find cross referencing less effective for me. So I’m not against writing down my ideas where ever (paper, phone, note on computer) and will transcribe to wiki later.
Sounds a lot like obsidian. Cool!
Yeah I the other experience will be familiar. I liked that my data stayed in-house but it did mean I had to run software on a server myself.
Cool
