Obsidian Portal
What it is
Obsidian Portal is a web-based campaign management site for tabletop role-playing game groups. Its campaign wiki lets groups build a shared game website and organize game material, while a calendar, adventure log, and character tracker help manage campaign details. The service says it works with any game system and setting. The free Basic plan includes two campaigns, 2 MB per campaign, and one map. Ascendant costs $5.99 a month and provides unlimited campaigns, 10 GB per Ascendant GM, and 10 maps. It adds custom styling, player secrets, email notifications, selectable JavaScript capabilities, a dice roller, and a campaign forum. Ascendant campaigns can be public, friends-only, or private. The service also provides an API intended to help developers create tabletop tools or enhance game experiences. Its privacy policy says member email addresses are not shared with third parties and lets users choose access levels for their information. Support is available through a knowledge base, community forums, and email, with a stated aim to follow up within 24 hours.
