What do you look for in a Campaign website?

Easy to print. Only one person i have gamed with had a "campaign website". Everytime he got mad about me not keeping up to date, i asked for a current print out.

I'm going to do one of these for my own homebrew world (20 years in the making!)

What I want to include is Maps - starting with a clickable worldmap that you can then select locations for more information.

History information.
This is world history and also recent history - i.e. stuff that perhaps some PCs have been involved in.

Notable NPCs.

Locale information - Nations, Cities, Ruins, etc. This will include changes / additions by the PCs over time. Perhaps PCs will found their own town...

My custom pantheon, including various organizations and prestige classes for each.

Other organizations.

Easy to navigate. I want to make it a resource my players can use.
 

Calendar that not only shows the date and month but weather, holidays, important events from history and religious observances (all or most hyperlinked or referenced to get more details).

Adventures and adventure idea's.

Unique or notable locations with histories and rumors attached.

Rumors and news about what is going on in the world, fashions and trends

Notable NPC's, Monsters, Organizations and sects.

New feats, classes, races, skills, Prc's and what classes, races and Prc's from the core rules would work in this campaign with examples of how they fit in the world.

Encounter tables, weather generator, NPC name generator.

Interactive map that allows me to point and click and get information about that area.

Easy to navigate.

Articles by the writers about the setting and the feel they were trying for as well as more details about the campaign that they wish to expand upon or was cut from the production campaign.

Things that help me to broaden the feel of the campaign such as vocabulary and common sayings, governments, fashions, Dieties, regional histories and events, race and country interactions/attitudes, unique observances, basically things to spawn the imagination or guide without forcing changes like Meta plots.

Fiction professional or submitted with details about the characters and places involved in the writing.
 

Maps. All I want are maps.. interactive maps. Javascript maps where I can calculate distances. Changing weather pattern maps. Maps with animates trade routes. Multiple geographic and political maps over several eras.

I love maps!
 


No Flash. (and after T$R no Buck Rogers! )

Easy navigation

Clear seperation between DM and players info

DM stuff I like:
NPCs
Encounter tables (tables in full)
Adventure ideas
 

Thanks for all the ideas. Everything everyone said pretty much makes sense. I know a lot of people said no Flash, but what if the main website was HTML and we had an enhanced portion that was Flash and has interactive maps and that sort of thing? I can program that sort of stuff in Flash, but I'm certainly no Javascript programmer.
