I have been running a DnD campaign which is only getting longer and more complex as time goes on. Keeping track of every bit of lore, every NPC that is relevant to the party and major events that have happened is getting increasingly difficult. I am currently mostly trying to just keep everything in mind while taking notes here and there, but I am finding linear text documents to be hard to maintain and look through.

The thing that has made me especially interested in better tools is that I have been planning to do a homebrew campaign once this one has wrapped up and I would like to start planning it out.

What tools do you use to document info on worldbuilding, story and lore?

    I’ve had a lot of success using Obsidian for managing and organising information (both for campaigns but also just in general).

    You can link to other pages in your notes, there’s a canvas feature if you like that sort of thing and my personal favourite, the graph, where you can see how all your pages connect to eachother.

    It also has a lot of community plugins some of which are useful for campaign stuffs like Obsidian Leaflet(maps) and Fantasy Statblocks.
