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

Be in a voice channel
Use the RPG Session button (or the equivalent flow from the bot)
Select the campaign for this session
Enter a session name
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 join settings, and the bot records an RPG session whenever it auto-joins that channel. See Auto-join.

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.

Plan access required

RPG sessions are plan-based. If your current plan does not include RPG access:

Cannot start RPG session. Your current plan does not include RPG access. Open discmeet.com/dashboard to manage your plan

Check your plan details with /discmeet status under RPG Features:

Can Start Session — Whether RPG sessions are available on your plan
Total Sessions / Session Limit — Current RPG usage and limits

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.
