On Discord, use the bot for your TTRPG game. Around a table, prepare an audio file. Then return to what mattered after the game.
At the table
After a long break, begin with what the table still remembers. Use the notes later to check the details that genuinely change the game.
Record a game
The bot suits games played in a Discord voice channel. An audio file suits an in-person table or a file you already have.
After the game
On Discord, the person who starts VoLog receives the short recap of the game and a transcript link by direct message. Other participants can request the same recap.
After the game
The Full note comes before the Session summary. Check names, decisions, and important scenes before preparing everything else.
After the game
A name or event is wrong in several places. Describe the problem once, then review every change before anything is applied.
After the game
Your Session notes are yours to keep. Download the parts you want and keep a Markdown copy in Obsidian or somewhere else.
After the game
The transcript shows everyone who spoke. Add their character names once to make it clearer.
Record a game
A well-placed phone is often enough to keep a record of your game. Here is how to get a clear recording without turning the table into a studio.
At the table
You do not have to choose between listening to the scene and writing every detail. A few reminders and an audio capture can be enough.
After the game
One link gives your group a read-only view of the campaign, and you can turn it off whenever you choose.
Record a game
Two commands cover the whole game. Afterwards, the person who started VoLog receives the short recap of the game and a transcript link by direct message.
After the game
When a name or decision slips your mind, ask the question from the Session where you need it.
At the table
Open the Session on your computer, then use your phone to photograph the pages.
At the table
I wanted to be fully present at the table without losing the names, choices, and moments that mattered.
