TenFootWiki 2.0 – the ten foot pole for GMs

When planning a new campaign or even a whole new setting a wiki can really come in handy. But usually you need a web server (or hosted webspace) with support for PHP/Python/whatever and sometimes even a MySQL database to setup a wiki software. On the plus side you get a wiki you can access all over the internet but on the minus side you won’t be able to access the wiki when you’re offline and in most cases you’ll have to play a couple of euros a months for hosting. An alternative would be installing XAMPP (or a similar package) on your PC but this is sometimes not an option or just overkill if you want to take some notes during the preparation of the campaign or even during play.
Here comes TenFootWiki 2.0 to the rescue. TenFootWiki 2.0 is a modification of GTDTiddlyWiki that was created by RPG blogger UncleBear. Instead of wiki software like MediaWiki (Wikipedia is based on this software), you don’t need a server to run it. In fact it’s built to reside on your local hard drive, usb thumstick or even a floppy disc. The whole wiki consists of a single html file that you can view and edit by using your browser. I have tried it out today and it works like a charm!
