About Kanka
Kanka is a web-based tool for managing tabletop RPG campaigns and worldbuilding material, including characters, locations, organizations, families, timelines, calendars, and maps. Entries link to each other, including automatic linking through @mentions, with search across entries for use during sessions. It supports inviting players and co-GMs with controls over what each person can view and edit, plus renaming categories and using custom CSS and community plugins. The site describes a free tier with unlimited campaigns and entries and core features, while premium campaigns and larger file and map uploads depend on paid tiers. Campaigns are private by default and content can be exported.
