RPG Sessions

RPG sessions are recorded separately from regular meetings. Transcripts go to the campaign channel, not the default transcription channel.

Start a RPG session

1. Be in a voice channel
2. Use the RPG Session button (or the equivalent flow from the bot)
3. Select the campaign for this session
4. Enter a session name
5. Start recording

The session is recorded and transcribed. When you stop, the transcript is posted to the campaign’s channel.

You can also have sessions start automatically: map a voice channel to a campaign under Record as RPG campaigns in Auto record settings, and the bot records an RPG session whenever it records that channel. See Auto record.

Player and GM notes

Session recaps are tailored to the campaign’s game system, so they use the right terminology and track what that system cares about.

By default the full recap posts to the campaign channel. If the campaign has a GM channel set, the recap is split: player-facing notes post to the campaign channel, and GM-only notes (behind-the-screen detail) post to the GM channel — so you can share the session summary with the table without spoiling what’s behind the screen.

Import past sessions

If your table was playing before you started using DiscMeet, you can bring those sessions in from your own notes so the campaign’s history is all in one place.

1. Open the dashboard  and go to RPG → Sessions
2. Choose the campaign the sessions belong to
3. Click Import past sessions
4. For each session, enter a name, pick the date it was played, and paste your notes (or use Load file to read them from a .txt or .md file)
5. Use Add another session to import up to 20 at a time, then click Import sessions

Imported sessions appear in the session list alongside recorded ones, marked Imported. Open one to read, edit, or share its notes like any other session.

A few things to know:

• Paid plans only. Importing uses the server owner’s plan, like bulk importing characters.
• No recording hours used. Imported sessions have no audio, so they don’t count toward your plan’s hours.
• Notes only. There’s no audio, no transcript, and no Regenerate notes for an imported session.
• Everything or nothing. If any session in the batch is missing its name, date, or notes, or is dated in the future, nothing is imported until it’s fixed.
• Same retention as other notes. Imported notes follow your plan’s notes retention, counted from the day you import them.
• History, not memory. Imported notes are kept for your campaign’s history; they aren’t used when writing recaps of new sessions.

RPG vs regular meeting

Hours and the free plan

RPG sessions are on every plan and count toward the same recording hours as meetings. On the free plan, a session uses one of your 2 free recordings.

If you’ve used your free recordings:

Free limit

You’ve used all 2 of your free recordings. Upgrade to Pro for 60 hours of recordings

If you’ve used your plan’s hours for this billing period:

Hours reached

You’ve used all your recording hours this billing period. Upgrade or wait for your next cycle to record sessions again

Manage your plan at discmeet.com/dashboard . /discmeet status shows the hours you have left.

Campaign channel must exist

Before starting a session, ensure the campaign has a valid channel. If the channel was deleted:

The channel for Campaign Name no longer exists. Please edit the campaign using /discmeet campaigns to set a new channel before starting a session.

Processing time

After you stop, the transcript is processed and posted. Processing can take up to a few minutes. You’ll get a notification when it’s ready.
