Hi All

I have been talking with a friend of mine about building a web deployed game & campaign management tool for running Pathfinder and are considering whether we should build something that is multi-tenanted.

Basically, we are looking at building a website where you can intelligently create campaigns, including campaign places, characters, continents, countries etc and then link them into games.

So for example you can create a world with countries, cultures, religions, characters, locations all intelligently linked on each other. That is to say you could create a religion and then link all characters associated with that religion, what countries and locations are associated with that religion etc. You could do the same for countries and cultures.

Characters, locations could be linked to games so that each week you could put out a report about what and who was involved in last game.

In addition to this we are looking to develop, based on open source content a proper character builder where you can drag and drop options and it intelligently updates a character sheet with all relevant modifiers.

We have a proof of concept site that we have been toying around with while and using as an interim until we can build a better engine. It can be found at http://pineapple.nakedit.com.au. This is only a basic concept site.

My question to the community is, if we were to build a multi tennanted site with world creation, character building and game management is it something the community would be interested in being able to use to run their campaigns? If so, what kind of functionality would you like to see available through the site?

TLDR: Looking at building a web deployed campaign, world and game management tool and are interesting in whether it is something the community would use and what kind of functionality would you like to see available through the site?
