Journal sections for Locations and History

My campaign has a lot of backstory to it, and a ton of locations scattered across the world. It's really hard to keep track of, and a journal tab for players and the GM to keep track of these would be a massive help. Sure, one COULD use the Characters/Handouts tabs, but that just seems klunky.
Use an external wiki for campaign information. I use wikidot.com for all my rpg stuff.
Andrew, if you need something now, I use Wikispaces.com for my campaigns. A free, simple Wiki. I was able to build a site with no real experience. Good luck. But I agree, it would be a nice feature within Roll20.

I am using the Campaign Details forums for this purpose although a wiki would probably be better if there is a lot of information. - Gauss

I use the campaign forum too, since any new message flags that thread with the word NEW and shoots that thread up to the top of the list (but below any "pinned" messages that are always on top). I give some links to my web-space as well, in both the message threads and a Handout.

I use the campaign forum too, since any new message flags that thread with the word NEW and shoots that thread up to the top of the list (but below any "pinned" messages that are always on top). I "pin" message threads that I call Game Procedures (for general info about the way the game will be run), Game Schedule (announcing the next session, "office hours" to generate characters, maintain and buy equipment, etc.) and Rules Questions (where players can ask questions about the game system's rules.) I give some links to my web-space as well, in both the message threads and a Handout.
