Recap Raven is a Discord bot built for tabletop RPG groups who play their sessions over Discord voice. It records the conversation, transcribes it, and maps speech to player characters, giving Dungeon Masters an accurate record of the night without manual note taking. The bot turns that raw material into a player-safe recap, private GM reports, and a campaign memory that players can ask questions against, with every answer cited back to the transcript.

The core value for DMs is time and insight. Instead of pausing the game to write down what happened, they can stay focused on running the table. After the session, the recap is ready in minutes, and the GM gets private analytics about spotlight balance, table energy, and open threads. Players get a clean recap and a searchable memory of the campaign that grows with each session.

Key Features

Recording and transcription in Discord voice: Recap Raven joins a voice channel with the /session start command and captures the whole session. It transcribes audio and recognizes who spoke, so the recap is attributed to the right characters.
Player-safe recap: After the session, the bot posts a concise recap to Discord covering key moments, decisions, and discoveries. It is written to be shared with the table, so GM secrets and private prep never appear.
Ask with receipts: Players can ask about NPCs, quests, items, and past decisions in Discord. The campaign memory engine answers using only information said at the table, and every answer includes a source quote from the transcript so you can verify it.
Campaign World: The bot maintains an editable wiki of people, places, items, and lore. It is pre-populated and updated from each session, and GM-only notes stay separate from what players can see.
GM analytics and feedback: Private session reports include a session score, participation stats, table energy, and pillars of play. These are designed to give GMs useful feedback that players tend not to volunteer.
Hooks, threads, and next-session prep: Open story hooks are tracked across sessions, and the bot flags likely next-session directions. It helps GMs pick up loose threads and prepare practical prompts before the next game.

Who Should Use Recap Raven

Dungeon Masters running D&D or other TTRPG campaigns on Discord who want automatic recap and continuity support without pulling focus from the game.
Players who want to quickly recall details such as NPC names, object locations, or plot decisions from earlier sessions, using a chat interface in Discord.
Long-running groups that need to track multiple threads, character spotlights, and campaign lore across many sessions or even multiple campaigns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all players need to consent to recording?

Yes. Recording is announced in the channel with a text message and a voice cue, and it can be paused or stopped at any time. Raw audio is deleted within minutes of transcription, and the bot keeps only the transcript and derived session content. If anyone at the table is uncomfortable, the session should not be recorded.

What is included in the free session?

The free session lets you try one complete recording in a single campaign. It includes transcription, a player-safe recap, private GM notes, session analytics, and GM feedback, plus a first-session trial of campaign memory and Ask. No credit card is required.

Can players see the GM report?

No. GM notes, analytics, and coaching feedback are private to the GM. Players receive only player-safe material built from what was said at the table. The system actively prevents GM-only speculation or private prep from appearing in player-facing recaps and answers.

Can I delete or export my data?

Yes. Raw audio is deleted automatically after transcription, so there is no recording library to export. You can delete sessions, campaigns, or your entire account at any time, and you can export retained account data including transcripts and recaps.

How long does processing take?

Processing is usually done in under 10 minutes after the session ends, but longer recordings or busy periods may take more time. The app shows a processing indicator while it works.
