Campfire vs LegendKeeper

Campfire brings together writing software, a mobile writing app, an online eBook store and a reading app for authors, publishers and readers. Its Manuscript Module supports drafting, chapter organization on a digital corkboard, Index Card View, word-count goals and writing statistics. Worldbuilding tools include modules for characters, cultures, items, locations, philosophies, religions, species, systems, an encyclopedia, magic, maps, research, timelines, arcs, calendars, languages and relationships. Users can invite as many collaborators as they want to view, comment on or edit a project. Campfire states that storage is unlimited across its apps, and manuscripts can be exported as PDF or EPUB. The free desktop app for Mac and Windows supports offline writing. The iOS and Android mobile app requires internet access and omits some modules; free-plan element limits apply in browser and desktop access. Campfire says it backs up work with Amazon servers and keeps projects limited to invited people until sharing or publication. Authors can publish eBooks and digital bonus content and connect Stripe for royalties and sales analytics.

LegendKeeper is a web-based collaborative workspace for worldbuilding and RPG campaign management. Its wiki supports nested pages, rich-text editing, auto-linking, templates, tags, and shortcuts. Maps can be nested and linked to wiki articles, with uploads up to 14K pixels and 100 MB. Timelines offer chronicle, Gantt chart, and calendar views, plus custom calendar systems and linked timelines. Collaborative whiteboards support sketches, flow charts, DM screens, and pointcrawls connected to project pages. Projects are private by default and allow real-time collaboration, public sharing, granular permissions, and secrets. Users can import Markdown, Obsidian, WorldAnvil, Google Docs, and other formats, then export projects. The browser app stores wiki and atlas edits locally for later syncing, but unsynced offline changes can be lost if browser data is cleared. LegendKeeper is not a virtual tabletop and is intended to be used alongside tools such as Foundry or Roll20. It is described as being in open beta, with some core features still planned. Basic is free; Pro costs $7.50 per month billed annually.
