RPG Story Toolkit vs Telepedia

RPG Story Toolkit is a workspace for writing stories, organizing world data, building timelines and maps, publishing a wiki, and exporting material for games. Its rich-text editor links mentions to database records, and those links update when a record is renamed. Users can define tables and fields for characters, items, locations, calendars, and other records. Timelines can be ordered or shown in a Gantt-style view; maps accept uploads, pins, and drawn regions.

The web app publishes documents and records as a browsable wiki at its own address, republishing project updates. Exports include JSON, CSV, TSV, Markdown, plain text, DOCX, and ZIP. The Mac desktop app stores projects as Markdown, JSON, and asset files and works offline. Automatic desktop-to-web sync requires Pro. Web Free is $0 and includes one project, up to three documents and image uploads, public wiki publishing, and export. Desktop is free; Pro is $5 a month. Browser and Mac desktop versions are available; the Windows desktop app is marked as coming soon. The project links to its code on GitHub and says users can inspect and modify it.

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.
