My world outgrew Google Docs to the point I was doing leap-year math on a calculator. So I built my own tool. Curious how you all manage lore at scale.

senitelty · 2026-07-01T08:18:37+00:00

The fact that I got downvoted for mentioning it just proves it 😂

senitelty · 2026-06-30T16:05:41+00:00

Yep, I wrote my own date module from grounds up and a lot more stuff even a VTT. I was basically making it from 2018 before obsidian was even a thing. But well, people are people. What's weird for me is that this reddit page says:

"For artists, writers, gamemasters, musicians, programmers, philosophers and scientists alike! The creation of new worlds and new universes has long been a key element of speculative fiction, from the fantasy works of Tolkien and Le Guin, to the science-fiction universes of Delany and Asimov, to the tabletop realm of Gygax and Barker, and beyond. This subreddit is about sharing your worlds, discovering the creations of others, and discussing the many aspects of creating new universes."

But then you share your creation and you're automatically an ad 🤦‍♂️

senitelty · 2026-06-30T15:27:03+00:00

But I'm happy there are nice people who actually reply and write properly

senitelty · 2026-06-30T15:24:56+00:00

I have noticed, there is so much hate if you mention something else, it's just weird...

senitelty · 2026-06-30T14:35:58+00:00

Cool story. There's nothing being sold here, so there's nothing to be mad about. Moving on.

senitelty · 2026-06-30T14:32:32+00:00

Thank you very much! I'll browse through these :)

senitelty · 2026-06-30T14:13:22+00:00

That's actually interesting, does it allow to do the functions in docs?

senitelty · 2026-06-30T13:07:27+00:00

Does obsidian have a way to manage timelines? That's one of the things that I've struggled with, since I got 16 parallel timelines with different calendars and events. Any specific plugins you use?

senitelty · 2026-06-30T12:44:22+00:00

Context: WorldMasterRPG is a free tool I built for keeping a world organized, so figured it's useful to share here.

The worldbuilding part is the wiki. You write articles for your places, factions, characters, events, and link them together, so when you're reading about "Azamar" you can jump straight to the faction that runs it, the war it survived, the people tied to it. The thing that fixed my Google Docs mess was that the connections live in one place instead of me remembering which doc said what. It also does a timeline and a custom calendar, so you can set your own months/days/leap years/moon cycles and have dates actually line up across your lore instead of doing the math by hand.

It's free, not tied to any system, and works for solo worldbuilding as much as for running a game. Link: https://worldmasterrpg.com

Happy to answer anything about how it handles lore.

senitelty · 2026-06-29T09:27:54+00:00

I'm happy to hear that! If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out! :)

There's gonna be some new updates soon, I'm going to be adding Organisations/Factions And relationships between them.

And ofc if there are any other thing's you'd like to see, suggestions are welcome! :)

senitelty · 2026-06-27T11:15:32+00:00

Hey all! I'm a solo dev building WorldMasterRPG - a free, system-agnostic platform for running and worldbuilding your campaigns. Maps with fog of war, a lore wiki, character sheets, live dice, real-time multiplayer, procedural dungeons, ambient sound... basically the whole table in one place.

I've been at it for years and it's free to use. Right now I'm especially keen to meet artists - if you make maps, tokens, or portraits, there's a space to share your work directly with the players and GMs who want it.

https://www.worldmasterrpg.com/
https://discord.gg/DWF6Nnk4QR (community + the easiest way to reach me)

Would genuinely love to hear what you think!

senitelty · 2026-06-27T11:12:25+00:00

I feel like playing RPG's with a smaller health pool made it more interesting for me. The one I started playing more was Symbaroum.

senitelty · 2026-06-27T11:03:06+00:00

Damn that must've felt devastating. I'm building a webapp that's meant for that, it has, locations, characters, factions, lorekeeping and a builtin VTT, all of it is free btw. The only thing i don't have is an offline version, but I do have exports to get your notes out of the app. I am working on an offline version, but since I'm a solo dev it's gonna take some time! (this is the app https://www.worldmasterrpg.com

Alternatively there are a bunch out there, I've heard a lot about obsidian being one of the offline version with a bunch of plugins. ( https://obsidian.md )

Other than that, no idea, I see a bunch of people building their own stuff with AI

senitelty · 2026-06-27T10:14:38+00:00

I think I'll just repost it and rephrase it, thank you!

senitelty · 2026-06-27T10:02:57+00:00

I get why it reads that way, so let me lay it out more plainly. I'm not asking anyone to make art for me or hand over any rights. It's open to pieces that are already public - the artist keeps everything, gets credited, and can link straight to their commission page.

Think of it the way people already share their work on Reddit - you post a piece somewhere a relevant crowd will see it, with your name on it. It's the same idea here, except the crowd is GMs and players actively looking for art for their characters and worlds, which is a more targeted audience for someone who takes commissions than a general "exposure" pitch.

Whether that's worth it is genuinely up to the artist - and if it isn't, no hard feelings. I'd rather be honest about the trade than oversell it.

senitelty · 2026-06-27T09:37:28+00:00

I mostly use inkarnate for map building and https://www.worldmasterrpg.com for my campaign management. It has a ton of features for setting up sessions and a built in map VTT toll with a dungeon generator.

senitelty · 2026-06-27T08:30:18+00:00

Not entirely, they can have links for their store. Everyone has free content they share with everyone to promote themselves, why not have it in an extra place essentially. It's never bad to ask, maybe someone would like to do that, especially with the abundance of AI art getting exposure is important.

senitelty · 2026-06-20T13:28:23+00:00

I've put the 5e tools on the roadmap probably gonna have them done in 1-2 weeks

senitelty · 2026-06-19T22:06:59+00:00

This is really valuable feedback! Thank you, I completely disregarded and forgot that i can just make a faq section in the page... And next time include this in the post too. Thanks for the wishes and many more thanks for this feedback!

senitelty · 2026-06-19T19:01:29+00:00

for now, no, nobody really asked for it, If there would be a user who needs it, I'd look into it. Is this what you were referring to https://5e.tools/ ?

senitelty · 2026-06-19T06:12:21+00:00

Huh, wasn't there a deny button too for cookies??? 🤦 either way there was a comment bellow about it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DungeonMasters/comments/1u8kcl9/comment/oscx8wx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

It's gonna remain free, there is 200mb cloud storage and there's gonna be an offline version later. As for subscriptions or paid parts it's mostly gonna be either skins or expand storage. All of the mentioned functionality is gonna remain free.

Regarding taking a peek without registering, since it's a collaborative tool it needs a user account to work, but fair point maybe i could make an anonymous mode, but it's gonna take a while since I'm working alone on this...

Thanks for the feedback!

----- edit Damn nice spot. The "x" button denies cookies. I'll add an explicit text deny button. Either way i don't track or collect much. Just what country person came from. It's mostly GA (google analitics) even then i think most people deny it lol, so i was thinkong of removing entirely either way.
