Where To Create A Wiki

[Connorsrpg]

OK, so I have tried websites and blogs. Now I want to put my current campaign information on the net for my players and I like the sound of a wiki space.

So, can any of you recommend a good site that hosts free wikis? I would like one that has other rpg traffic and is easy to use

The rpg ones I have found don't seem to be for adding own campaigns...more tracking rules systems etc.

Should I just use wikispaces? They seem OK. Does anyone know whether the free a/c lasts?

I am looking at something simple, like the ones on WOTC site done by Chris Perkins, etc. (But don't want to put it there b/c my target audience, read players, are not DDI subscribers...and I believe they would have to members to access the community there).

Has anyone else done a campaign wiki? Any hints, ideas, advice?

Thanks, C

I like Wikidot - Free and Pro Wiki Hosting because you can customize the look and feel.

I haven't transfered hardly any of my Tiddlywiki's over yet (which are not actually wikis), but here's an idea of how much you can tweak it:

Obsidian Portal - Campaign websites for Dungeons and Dragons and other tabletop RPGs

I have found this site to be excellent. It's free, but you're limited to two campaigns, and there are ads. There is a premium subscription that gives you unlimited campaigns, and forums for your campaigns.

Free works for me.

Thanks for the replies. I have checked these out - and others, and I am keen to get started.

@thewok: I really like the idea of Obsidian Portal. Great to have collection of rps all in one spot. Only thing I didn't really like was the lack of actual pages. You know like a sidebar with links to NPC page, Place page, etc. You need to create them from front page and then NPCs and characters are on individual pages by the looks. I kind of just want simple, tagged pages for each topic. Am I missing something?

@ Plainsailing: I couldn't get my head around that frontpage. Thanks though, I checked out some of your stuff

@ Sir Brennan: This looks like something I can handle. Your eg, though far from done, is exactly what I am looking for. Simple links and tags that are all gathered together.

Two Q's for you: Is there much of a RP presence @ wikidot that you know of? When you chose your type of page, what did you choose? ie: personal/blog, group project, community, etc.

Cheers and thanks for the help guys. C

It looks like wikidot can hold a heap of info.

Another Q of preference. What would you (meaning anyone that would use or view these sites) recommend? I create a general roleplaying wiki for myself and from there have each campaign with a page and then links, OR should I do a separate wiki for each campaign?

I'll add another voice for Wikidot.com

 

[Connorsrpg]

Thanks Infernal Teddy. So I pose the Q to you. Which 'type' if best? It appears they have several templates to choose from at the start...

Just to clarify, you don't have to be a DDI subscriber to use the WotC community. The wiki there is free and accessible to anyone.
