In their own words
LegendKeeper
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.
World Anvil
World Anvil is a browser-based set of tools for creating, organizing and storing settings for games, novels and comics. Its wiki supports linked articles, categories, tags and search across a world. Interactive maps connect locations to articles, while timelines track events across eras or parallel histories. Campaign tools provide a digital GM screen, statblocks, NPC creation, character sheets and session reports connected with campaign notes. Online novel-writing software works with the wiki, allowing setting details to be referenced and edited while drafting. Listed integrations include Discord, Google Analytics and Patreon links. Private material is visible only to the user and authorized collaborators, and autosaved work is backed up across multiple servers and in the cloud. World Anvil requires an internet connection; mobile use is through an optimized browser, with no mobile app. The Freeman plan allows two worlds, 42 articles and 100 MB storage.
