Obsidian Portal review
A focused campaign workspace with wiki, character, calendar, map, and forum tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Obsidian Portal is a web-based campaign management platform for tabletop role-playing games. It is designed for game masters and players who need a shared place to build a campaign wiki, record adventure logs, track characters and character sheets, manage a campaign calendar, share maps, and upload files. The product supports public, friends-only, and private campaigns, making it suitable for groups that want to control who can view campaign material.
The freemium model provides free access, with Basic covering wiki building, adventure logs, character tracking, a campaign calendar, and file uploads. The listed Ascendant membership adds expanded storage, page version history, private campaigns, campaign forums, multiple game masters, and custom styling. The published starting price is 5.99. Ascendant memberships are refundable at any time. For groups comparing plans, the main distinction is access to deeper campaign administration, collaboration, storage, and customization features rather than a different core use case.
Obsidian Portal’s strongest fit is an ongoing RPG campaign that needs more structure than a standalone wiki: version viewing, comparison, and restoration help manage changing pages, while calendars, maps, logs, and character records keep campaign information together. API access for wiki content also gives the platform an integration point for campaign content. Its focus is narrower than a general public game-wiki service, so groups primarily publishing a public reference wiki may want a different kind of tool. Choose Obsidian Portal when campaign management and controlled access matter most; avoid it when a public game wiki is the central requirement.
