Guides for recording your TTRPG games

Choose your situation to record a TTRPG game, add an audio file, or review your session notes.

What is your situation?

Discord recording and adding a file are separate paths. Start with the one that matches your game.

I play TTRPGs on Discord

Start VoLog without an account, then find the short recap of the game and its transcript.

  1. Use VoLog during a TTRPG game on Discord Add the VoLog bot, play without creating an account first, then receive the short recap of the game and a transcript link by direct message.

I already have an audio file

Record with your own device or OBS, then sign in to create a session directly.

  1. Record a TTRPG game with your own device Place a phone, computer or voice recorder near your TTRPG table, check the sound, then export one file.
  2. Record a remote TTRPG game with OBS Record your TTRPG game on Discord and your microphone in one file, then export an MP3 file to add to VoLog.
  3. Create a Session from an audio file Add the audio file from your game, check its duration and displayed cost, then start creating the Session.

After the game

Review a session or solve a specific problem.

  1. Review the Full note After creating a Session, review and correct its note before preparing the remaining content.
  2. Audio troubleshooting Find the cause of a problem with the Discord bot, a transcript, an audio file or Session preparation.

Before you begin

  • Tell everyone present and obtain their agreement before recording.
  • With Discord, no audio file is returned: find the transcript from the bot link or in the Workshop.
  • With your own device, make a short test and keep the original file until transcription is complete.
