Obsidian Portal vs Telepedia

Obsidian Portal is a web-based campaign management site for tabletop role-playing groups. Its campaign wiki lets players organize game material in a shared campaign website, with a calendar, adventure log and character tracker to support campaign management. The service says it works with any game system and setting. The free Basic plan costs nothing and includes two campaigns, 2 MB per campaign and one map. Ascendant costs $5.99 a month and includes unlimited campaigns, 10 GB per Ascendant GM and 10 maps, as well as custom styling, player secrets, email notifications, selectable JavaScript capabilities, a dice roller and a campaign forum. Ascendant also offers public, friends-only or private campaigns. The service provides an API for developers creating tabletop tools or enhancing gaming experiences. Its privacy policy says member email addresses are not shared with third parties and users can choose public, limited or private access for their information. Support is available through a knowledge base, community forums and email, with a stated aim to follow up within 24 hours.

Telepedia is a web service for creating and hosting public, community-run wikis about games, television, movies, anime and manga, books and comics, music, and other permitted subjects. Users can start a wiki through a creation wizard without waiting for approval, or ask Telepedia to migrate an existing wiki. Hosted sites use the free, open-source MediaWiki software. Administrators can use ConfigCentre to edit settings, namespaces, extensions, user groups, and permissions. Listed extensions include VisualEditor, MobileFrontend, YouTube, and interactive maps, with additional requests evaluated by Telepedia. The platform also supports in-house, Wikimedia-maintained, and community-supported extensions and skins, while excluding options such as Graph, Widgets, SemanticMediaWiki, SocialProfile, and chat or email extensions. Wikis are searchable and public, and Telepedia may place advertisements that owners cannot remove or modify. Support is available through a Support desk. If a wiki leaves, Telepedia offers XML dumps but not image dumps.
