ENnie award-winning site Obsidian Portal has been bought by one of its developers.
The site helps you manage your tabletop campaign, offering up wiki-like functionality, character sheets and trackers, adventure logs and the like for free. Or, you can pay $6 a month (or $50 a year) for more storage space, more maps, multi-GM support and versioning.
In a blog post, the new owner thaen (Aleks) uses the title “For Gamers, By Gamers” and points out the recent bug fixes, updates, new features and increased communication in the forums.
The team now running the site will be familiar to Obisidian Portal users; content creator Jynx001 (Steve), developer and community manager Kallak (Dan) and the developers noma4i (Alex) and thaen.
How did a site developer manage to buy the site? Thaen says he’s not rich; he went all in. Running OP is his full-time job, as his full attention and I imagine his financial security now depends on persuading gamers to use the site and upgrade to the paid plan.
