Epic Words (www.epicwords.com) is a new, FREE RPG Campaign Tools website. It was built by players, for players, and is currently looking for new users, and their feedback, while in its Beta release. The site is compatible with all RPG’s.

Epic Words is a great way to keep players involved in-between games with blogs, wikis, and a host of other tools. It provides a place to take care of campaign housekeeping so your game time is really your game time.

With Epic Words, a user can create a Campaign for their game, and ask their friends to join as player Characters. Collectively, they post the in-session events they would like to track. A group can record as much or as little as they want, as there are a several types of tools for different aspects of campaign management.

The current feature list includes:
Campaign Blog Posts for each Character, and the GM

A spoiler button for hiding sensitive information
Wikis
