Alternative while waiting for release?

silee · April 4th, 2013, 01:04 PM

Hi, unfortunately I found out about the kickstarter too late and have to wait for the public release of Realm Works. In the meantime, I'm looking for something to help me organize information for the Rise of the Runelords adventure path for Pathfinder and I'm looking for software with similar functionality as Realm Works. Would something like Tomboy notes be useful? I've looked at OneNote and it doesn't have autolinking like Realm Works or Tomboy. Any suggestions?

paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder, people are very helpful and a bigger audience there than here.

I currently use MyInfo. Tree-like information, no autolinking, but then again, I'm waiting for Realm Works for a reason. If I were in your shoes, I'd pick something that would just help you get your information in one place and then wait for release. Then again, you're not in my shoes, and I'm not letting you borrow them either.

I use Evernote, but as weogarth says - I'm waiting for Realm Works for a reason.

I used to use The Keep. It was all bare bones and at first I found it really useful, but it has never had an update and personally I consider it overpriced for what it offers. It worked, but I'm waiting for Realm Works for a reason too.

I used to keep all my info in an Access Database (you can link / embed in that), but it is VERY hard work, and I'm forever adding new tables ...

I'm also waiting on Realm Works for a reason ...

Johnn Four came out with a series of 16 vids on organizing campaign information with MyInfo (what I currently use). I'm only on 2, but I can already tell it's going to help.

It'll make it easier moving it to RW, at least that's the theory.

I was originally going to use spreadsheets with hyperlinks to other spreadsheets to organize stuff, then thought about a wiki, and that's when I stumbled upon Realm Works...

I'm also waiting on Realm Works for a reason!
