Anyone here using Realmworks for their campaign management?

I'm not. What is it, and how do you think it would be helpful?

I was a backer and when it was announced I was super excited. It has taken literally YEARS to get all the functionality promised, the most important to me was the market place. I was hoping it would be a good venue for ready-to-play adventures, etc.

Realmworks is a desktop campaign management tool from Lone Wolf Development, the makers of Hero Lab et al.  It is designed for you to manage everything from your cosmology to the world to custom rules, NPCs, connections between things, locations, etc. It's similar to a custom Access database but with TONS of interlinking capabilities, customizability, AND one of the coolest features Fog Of World. FoW allows you to setup a player-facing monitor to show maps or info. You can hide parts of the display, only showing what you want to reveal as you need. There is supposed to be a web-based version where you can share ongoing info with your players. You can buy a "package" of player-only "viewers" in bundles about $5 per player.

The market place was going to allow you to put together a database on content and then sell it to other users. However, it is still in the final polishing stages. It is coming and LWD have been making regular updates to everyone. TO get a better feel you should check out the site --> https://www.wolflair.com/realmworks

Since I've been on a break, I may actually dive into this again. The learning curve is steep at the beginning (kind of like CC3+ !), but it is also powerful. I really like the idea of a player facing screen and being able to share a web-based version of the setting and adventure notes with the players. So, I'm not currently using it, but I think I'm going to give it a good college try again as the marketplace is imminent. Also, there a bunch of videos on YouTube that show you the ropes.

I enjoy it. It does have a steep learning curve and it takes time to enter what you want but once you do it is great and keeping things organized. Hopefully the content market will be out soon and a lot of different companies will jump on the wagon and produce content.
