RPG Story Toolkit vs wiki.gg

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.

wiki.gg is a free web hosting service for collaboratively edited encyclopedic resources. It accepts gaming, entertainment, open-source, hobby, and other general-interest subjects, and says more than 800 wikis use the platform. New wikis run on MediaWiki with VisualEditor installed by default, while LinkSuggest and other editor-quality extensions are available. Administrators may request additional extensions, although some requests are unavailable when software is unmaintained, incompatible, or raises code-quality or stability concerns. LIBRARIAN, wiki.gg’s fork of Cargo, stores and queries template data when approved. Wiki-Bot connects pages with Discord, displays recent changes, and helps track edits. A public Discord server provides editor connections, support, and platform guidance. Applications are reviewed case by case, with replies typically taking about 5–7 business days. Hosting is free and funded by advertisements. Wikis use wiki.gg subdomains; custom domains are unavailable, although URL redirects are allowed. Most wikis require editor accounts to help track, revert, and block malicious edits.
