Collaborative wiki, maps and timelines for TTRPG worldbuilders — pulled into existence by one viral Reddit thread.
Will it work? · our read
Community built it. The win wasn't the code — it was dropping the ugly prototype exactly where obsessed worldbuilders gather, then letting their demand fund the roadmap through Patreon.

Revenue is UNDISCLOSED — LegendKeeper has never published MRR/ARR. Our "about $250K/yr" is an ESTIMATE (rough band $200-400K/yr) derived from disclosed anchors: $9/mo pricing, 222 legacy Patreon patrons, two full-time co-founders, and their own "thousands of users" claim — not a stated figure, so not independently confirmed, tagged Estimate. The origin story (r/worldbuilding front page in about 2019 -> Patreon -> subscription) is documented in first-party interviews and their own posts. Founder background (NASA JPL, Match) is per LinkedIn. Rival weights and price ranges are our read, not audited. No numbers were fabricated; where a figure isn't public we said so. We never score you.
