Ive been looking for a post like this. Thankyou!

Spoiler: Please check the spoiler OP.

Do you have any suggestions for creating large amounts of maps which can then be stored and later put on screen to be interacted with?

Also do you have any suggestions for character creators that can manage 3 and 3.5 pcs and automatically make adjustments based on feats templates or spells added from various 3 and 3.5 sources?

Also ive tried using a few character creators before like mythweavers i just keep finding problems with them. An example would be that mythweavers deletes a lot of values or notes occasionally. Or doesnt have sections for some things. Sometimes major things like not having enough room for spells known when a wizard is optimizing for max number known for instance.

I think im going to use world anvil btw. Id heard the name before but didnt really know what it was. Now that i do know im going to check it out.

While not a campaign manager, still find Onenotes a very useful tool for doing so.

A new one (they say they have been around for six years):

Scabard - RPG Campaign Manager

I was about to add Scabard as well. It's way of linking content is (as far as I can tell) unique and really really helpful. We ended up using OP again after all, as Scabard is lacking a dedicated way of allowing players to write session reports. But otherwise it's pretty good stuff.

Also recommend Chronica. It's a more recent management tool in comparison, but I have found it to have a lot of good features for keeping everything sensible. Bonus points, it was created and is maintained by dedicated gamers!
