RECAP RAVEN

D&D session recaps in Discord

Turn your D&D session into a recap automatically

Invite Recap Raven to your Discord server and play as usual. After the session, players receive a recap they can safely read. Free Tier includes 5 Standard sessions in your first 30 days, then 1 every 30 days; Premium adds private GM insights, and Memory connects your campaign.

Every speaker has a separate transcript track. Campaign answers include the source quotes, so you can check what the table actually said before treating an answer as canon.

How it works

Your recap is waiting when the Discord session ends

Step 1

Start the session

Add the bot once, join your normal Discord voice channel, and use /session start. Recording is announced in the channel so everyone knows it is running.

Step 2

Play your game

Each Discord participant is captured separately. Recap Raven keeps the speakers distinct in the transcript and can map players to their characters.

Step 3

Get the written record

Stop the session and the bot processes it. Players get the shared recap in Discord. The GM opens the private report, transcript, and campaign tools.

One session, two audiences

Players and GMs need different versions of the night

A useful player recap covers the places visited, people met, choices made, promises, discoveries, and unfinished business the party knows about. It leaves out hidden motives, private prep, and analysis that could reveal where the story is heading.

The GM report can be candid. It includes private feedback, uncertainties to review, hooks that need attention, likely preparation, and table insights. Keeping those outputs separate means you can share the recap promptly without pasting your own notes into a document and removing spoilers by hand.

Keeping GM-only fields outside the player recap generator is a guardrail rather than a guarantee. The GM can correct the share page afterward in the web portal. Read more about player-safe recap handling.

What players receive

  • A readable account of the session's important events
  • Decisions, discoveries, named characters, and open hooks
  • By default, a recap posted to the campaign's private Discord thread
  • Spoiler-safe campaign questions through /ask and /askprivate

What stays with the GM

  • GM feedback and private analysis
  • Uncertainties and details that need a human decision
  • Open-hook tracking and next-session preparation
  • Speaker, spotlight, and table-energy analytics

Across the whole campaign

The fifth recap should remember the first

A one-session summary helps next week. A connected campaign record helps months later, when somebody asks which merchant received the map or what the party promised at the old watchtower.

Memory plans build an editable Campaign World from saved sessions and keep it current as you play. Ask about canon, an NPC, an item, a decision, or an unresolved thread. The answer includes transcript quotes and session citations for you to check. When the evidence is missing, Recap Raven is designed to say so instead of filling the gap.

Speaker-aware transcription

Keep the table's voices attached to the right people

Shared-room recordings make attribution hard because every voice arrives in one audio stream. In Discord, Recap Raven records participants separately and merges the result into a speaker-labelled transcript. Character mapping then gives the recap the names your campaign uses.

Speaker separation also supports citations and table analytics. You can inspect who said a quoted line, see whose characters received attention, and correct a mapping if somebody joined on a different Discord account.

Audio has one short-lived job

Recap Raven uses the recording to create the transcript, then deletes the audio. Transcripts and generated session records remain available until you delete the session, campaign, or account. Campaign memory remains until you delete the campaign or account. Your session content is not used to train AI models.

A useful result after every game

Spend the end of game night talking to your players

Writing a recap yourself can mean another hour at the desk after everyone leaves. Waiting until tomorrow is easier, but details disappear and the task competes with work, family, and preparation for the next session. Recap Raven starts processing when the call ends and puts the first draft where your group already talks.

The result remains editable because campaign names, accents, invented words, and overlapping voices can confuse any transcription system. Corrections improve the saved record, while citations give you somewhere concrete to check when a detail affects the story.

Questions before you invite it

D&D session recap bot FAQ

What does a D&D session recap bot do?

Recap Raven joins your Discord voice session, records each participant on a separate track, transcribes the conversation, and creates a written recap after the game. Players receive a version based on what the table knows. The GM receives separate private notes and analysis.

Can the recap reveal GM secrets to players?

Recap Raven builds player and GM outputs separately. GM-only fields stay outside the player recap generator, which is instructed to leave out hidden motives and unsupported speculation. AI can still make mistakes. The recap posts automatically when ready, and the GM can correct its share page afterward in the web portal.

Does Recap Raven know who is speaking?

Yes. Discord participants are recorded on separate audio tracks, and the transcript keeps speakers separate. You can map Discord members to their player characters so the recap can distinguish the person speaking from the character in the story.

Can I ask questions about older sessions?

Memory plans connect saved sessions into searchable campaign memory. Ask a question in Discord or the web app and Recap Raven returns a short answer with transcript quotations and citations. It abstains when the saved record does not support an answer.

What happens to the session audio?

Audio is deleted after transcription. Transcripts, recaps, and GM notes remain until you delete the related session, campaign, or account. Campaign memory remains until you delete the campaign or account. Session content is not used to train AI models.

How do the welcome sessions work?

Your first Premium + Memory session is included, with an Ask allowance. Run /session join successfully within 10 days of signing up to unlock 1 more, valid for 30 days. Each welcome session can be up to 8 hours, and no payment card is required. Both welcome sessions include Searchable Memory and an Ask allowance. These one-time welcome sessions are separate from your Free allowance: 5 Standard sessions in your first 30 days, then 1 every 30 days, each up to 3 hours.
