I used Notion for managing my D&D campaign until I noticed I was approaching the limitations of what the free tier offered. That sent me looking for an alternative and I ended up settling on Skiff Pages (at that time I don't even think they had email, drive, etc). It didn't have all the features that Notion did, but it was functional, easy to use, and they were frequently adding improvements.

It's kind of funny to me that they ended up getting swallowed by Notion in the end. I'm just glad that I've long since switched over to Obsidian. My Markdown files can't get bought by Notion . 😂

How much for your markdown files?

+1 for obsidian! Have you tried out text generator plugin? Uses GPT api's. Haven't gotten into D&D but seems like it'd be a great tool for DMs to help make content.

Oh, that sounds really cool!! I haven't actually used chatGPT so I'm not familiar with the pricing or free limitations of it.

Recently I've been really enjoying LM studio for D&D related things. I've created separate conversation threads for different topics, plots, and characters. So, when I ask a question it already is aware of the context behind my ask and it tailors the response accordingly.

For example, I recently had a one-shot and I knew I wanted to have a powerful sorceress who controlled minds. So I spun up a new conversation and typed out the basic info. Then I asked the LLM what her favorite form of torture was, how many people she had mind controlled, and what her lair might look like, etc. It worked better than I thought it would, although some of the responses seemed pretty cookie cutter 😅
