Have you heard of Obsidian.md?
It’s not open source but it has hundreds of powerful plugins that are and give them much more power and versatility than Notion, as of today. Check the Canvas, DB folders, Projects, Dataview plugins and many others, or the ones related to playing TTRPG within Obsidian (check Josh Plunkett’s YT channel in this regard).
Obsidian Publish doesnt publish a fully plugin’d out vault as a website, just the base markdown. So if you rely a lot on dataview, Canvas etc, theres not a direct vault-to-website path.
All that said, if you are using mostly the base plaintext markdown, there are free and fairly straightforward ways to a website. I’ve used 2 different methods to push my vault folder with git to github to autogenerate websites.
Here’s a big vault of dungeon23 megadungeon resources, similar to your notion project, that I did this way. https://old.sketchyvanrpg.com/vault/
Ah yes! It was off line but had a “we’ll be back soon” message when I added it. It is a real shame coz it was one of the best pages on layout out there.
Nice idea. "TABLOO" is a free interactive Table Design and formatting tool for RPG Designers and GameMasters. Click the HELP button to see how it works.

useful！
Thank you for making this! It is truly awesome!
Really cool list,
I’ve been using this one for a bit to help me with my NPC groups: saga.quest
The toolset is intended for game creation tools rather than prep and gameplay.
Most importantly, tools built around "AI" won't make into the database.
Thanks for the contribution!
Thanks for all the hard work!
Thank you for the appreciation!!!
This is absolutely wild!
A truly phenomenal resource.
I'm overwhelmed with just how incredible this is! Thank you x
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Let me know if it useful in your projects at all :)
Absolutely will do! I just can't get over how awesome this is. I can't thank you enough!
Is this done with Notion? It seems so, but it’s not indicated.
Yes it is! So far it was the easiest workable free alternative, although I’d much prefer something open source and not corporate if I could find it.

Yes! I use obsidian a lot, but not for publishing. I will look into those options sometime soon, I'll add this to the checklist.

Hi, this one looks like it's not available anymore:

EDIT: I see now it's described as "in maintenance"
