Thanks for the recommendation, I never would have guessed someone made something like this! But of course they did.
I was definitely wondering how I would do this outside of Excel, but I have so many projects going on right now that figuring this one out didn't sound fun :D
There is also twinery or inklewriter for simple text stories with an online authoring option. And Inform7 for full on text adventures, where you write the stories in a declarative manner as plain english.
