Recaps
The recap writes itself while you play.
Run /stop and the evening starts turning into something readable. The recap lands in Discord within minutes; everything else files itself in the dashboard.
TL;DRZihuatl offered the party a valley, and demanded they call him sovereign for it.
At dawn after the battle in Tlalocayocan, the party approached Zihuatl. He offered them stewardship of a river valley — good stone, two thousand subjects, a modest tribute — and pressed them to acknowledge his sovereignty. They hesitated, being adventurers rather than governors, but did not refuse outright. Elandar was the one who saw he was frightening them on purpose.
The party presents itself to the enormous dragon ruler, who demands their fealty and offers them a valley.
Fenwick Do you know if there’s any other invasions anywhere else?
GM You are interrupted as the gigantic eye of the dragon — the reptilian iris is basically your size, Fenwick.
GM Arcanist, you brought your court with you. This pleases me.
The recap is written from the transcript, not from notes — and that distinction is the whole feature. Notes record what somebody had the attention to spare to write down, which at a good table is nothing at all, because the person who would have been writing was busy playing. A transcript has everything, including the throwaway line in the second hour that turned out to matter in session forty.
The evening is also cut into scenes. A session is not one continuous thing: it is an ambush, then a long argument in a tavern, then the walk to the temple. Each gets its own summary and its own place in the index, so finding the bit you half-remember means scanning a dozen headings rather than scrubbing through three hours of audio.
None of it is a wall of text you have to read. The recap is short enough to post in a channel and be read by someone catching up on their phone. The scene breakdown is there when you want more, the transcript when you want the exact words, and every scene links to the moment it came from.
Nobody has to remember to do any of this. It happens because the session ended.
What arrives, and when
- The recap, in minutesPosted to your Discord channel while people are still saying goodnight. Short enough to read on a phone.
- The scene indexThe evening split into its actual scenes, each with its own summary, so a half-remembered moment is a heading away.
- The full transcriptEvery line, attributed to the character who said it, timestamped against the recording.
- The campaign synopsisDaria keeps a running account of the campaign as a whole, updated after each session, for the player who missed three in a row.
