Just a short post to highlight a resource that I have found (and continue to find) as a very useful method of storing campaign notes; i've been asked to make a video of how I start/manage a campaign and, after reading through the Odyssey: The Complete Game Master's Guide to Campaign Management, i'm shortly going to start transferring my notes for my Serpents Fall game over to a tiddlywiki using the guidelines provided in the book (video to follow shortly).
So what is MPTW?
The software is available for download from here: http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/
Effectively it's a small wiki that you store locally on your computer (although it can be stored online) and includes more than enough functionality to cross reference your notes and organise them in a way that makes it very easy to reference during a game or between sessions when you are performing campaign maintenance.
Warning: Although it is possible to open a wiki created with MPTW in Google Chrome, currently the browser does not allow you to save from within it.
Firefox can also have some issues with saving (only in the latest versions of Firefox) but this can be sorted out by downloading & installing the TiddlyFox extension (available here https://github.com/TiddlyWiki/TiddlyFox) - personally, this is the setup that I use when creating my own wikis and i'm looking forward to copying over my Serpents Fall notes.
And incase you fancy using MPTW but are stuck on the formatting, here is a link to a userful 'cheat sheet'
