A Dark Souls 3 wiki covers weapons, armor, skills, magic, lore, maps, walkthroughs, builds, and calculators. Interactive maps can track items, NPCs, bosses, quests, armor, and weapons. Wiki pages also link to forums, player IDs, media, and community builds, and media uploads are supported. The site says contributions use a Custom License. Wiki VIP removes ads, according to the Dark Souls 3 page. Fextralife was founded in 2012 and acquired by Valnet Inc. in December 2024. Valnet links to Facebook, X, TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube.

Kanka is a web-based worldbuilding service and RPG campaign manager for organizing ideas, creations, and campaign settings. It is intended for game masters, worldbuilders, players, writers, and content creators, and can be used with any tabletop RPG system or without one. Campaigns can organize material across about 20 categories, including characters, locations, items, quests, journals, calendars, events, and abilities; owners can disable categories they do not need. Members can receive roles that control what they can see and do, and owners can preview a campaign from a member’s perspective. Worldbuilding tools include linked relations, timelines, custom calendars, layered interactive maps, and a rich-text editor with @mentions. The REST API is available to all accounts and can support scripts, backups, bots, dashboards, VTT integrations, and data synchronization. Kanka has a free plan and annual paid plans from $4.16/mo. It can also be self-hosted, though premium features are unavailable there and the team does not provide self-hosting support. There is no dedicated mobile app, but the interface adapts to smaller screens.
