The idea is that Obsidian Portal while a fun tool is limited in key areas. Its great as a simple game tracking tool but it falls well short of a proper Campaign/World management tool.
With obsidian you can create your Campaign using a huge list of systems and from this generate characters with a wide range of free opensource character sheets (Which is cool). Now if we want to link those characters to Worlds/Countries/Religions/Organisations/Characters/Items and manage this infromation as something a more organised than a wiki then it falls short. You should be able to browse from a world, look at all its coutries, then view any otehr related items. An example would be looking at a city and quickly view its NPC's and the games those NPC's have interacted with the party or been up too things in the background. If you want to then view that NPC and the locations within a city they normally hangout it isnt that easy to do in obsidian portal(unless you link it manually together in the wiki which is error prone and hard to follow).
Loki and I would like to create management tool specifically for Pathfinder which ties the rules in with a management tool so you can manage all of these relationships as well as your game. You could for example view a game from the past and quickly see who was there, what happened, what NPC's took part and where thigns happened. From here quickly view a special location whihc appeared in the game and again see all of the related information.
I hope this is making sence and highlighting where Obsidian Portal stops short of what we want in a campaign/world management system.
