Campaign Wiki

I'm another pbwiki user, and I'm only doing it for one campaign right now. However, I may do it for every campaign I start from here on out.

There's a simple breakdown of the campaign word that expands as I work on it. Players can flesh out their character origins and I can look over them at my leisure. There are notes for all treasure gained, including where it came from and who it goes to. Said treasure has pcitures, and the players can do treasure division in-between games through the wiki. My wife takes notes on her cpomputer during each session, and those go up, so I have a complete record of who did what and when that all the players can access.

House rules are included. New classes and feats, changes to the core rules, and what books I'm planning on allowing. When there is down-time between adventures, that's covered on the wiki.

It's been a real organizational and inspirational boon.
 

Yet another PBWiki user (check the .sig). Like the "Cheap as Free" option for having one, as I'm broke. They're works in progress.
 

I've a little wiki hosted on the serverspace my ISP gave me. We're two DMs to use it, but players mostly don't bother. So, for the D&D campaigns, I decided to give XP incentive to the characters of the players who contribute, and it seems it's working!
 


As a player, I made a PBWiki for our last campaign (World's Largest Dungeon). Previously all of our campaign-specific info had been stored in posts on a forum. It got pretty hard to find a specific piece of info, so I decided a wiki would be better.

It worked so well that in our next game the DM started another wiki for the new campaign. We use it to show things like who will be absent, house rules, accepted non-core classes/feats/spells, and info about the world for those who aren't familiar with the setting (Eberron).

I also have a personal MediaWiki that I keep on a USB stick that I use as my D&D database. I'm slowly adding all the content from the books I own into it. I use a program called WOS Portable that takes care of all the pieces that MediaWiki needs (like a web server and database) so it'll run off a USB stick and be accessible only to the local PC.
 

My wiki is at: http://wiki.jk.nu and mostly used by me (the DM), though my players occasionally read the house rules. (Or so google webmaster tools tells me. :)

I currently have installed pmwiki (www.pmwiki.com) but was also reasonably happy with Moin Moin which I used before.

The wiki itself costs me nothing, but hosting for the domain is $7.95/month. (I use the domain for other things as well.)

I use dreamhost.com for hosting, works well so far.

(Using the JKNU promo code on dreamhost.com gives you a $45 discount on the setup fee. There are plenty of other promo codes out there, but this one gives *me* a kickback for referring customers, and is thus better. Um. For me. :-)
 

Like Jurgen and others, mine is hosted on the webspace of a friend and thusly for free: well, he's a player in the campaign, so I guess he can consider it his entrance fee!

Our group has had up to eight players, but apart from me there's only a couple who really religiously update: just one other guy who looks at every article, and two others who do a fair bit of work on a few articles. Most people have at least come on to write their own character entry, though.
