This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Epic Words or Obsidian Portal?

I am starting an online playtest group for the supplement I am writing for Houses of the Blooded. Since it will not be a face to face group, I'm thinking of sharing everything online with others who might be interested in the rules/setting building process, as well as the actual campaign notes, etc...

I have had minimal experience with Obsidian Portal (http://obsidianportal.com) and only recently came across Epic Words (http://epicwords.com).

Do you guys prefer one over the other? Why? Are there other "campaign hosting" sites out there that I should know about?

Thanks for your suggestions.

DCC In Space!
Star Wars with homemade ruleset (Roll&Keep type system).

I've never had any reason to gripe with OP.  Every time I've had an issue, they've fixed it.  And I know for a fact they listen to feedback.

Not saying anything bad about the other site, just saying I've been happy with OP (even if I did have to learn Textile, which isn't exactly tough).
