SCRY and Craig

Craig is the free recording bot a lot of tables already use, and it gives you the audio. SCRY records the session too, then writes the session notes and the campaign wiki from it.

Where each one fits

Craig

Craig is a free Discord bot that records each speaker on their own track, all kept in sync. You download the files and edit them, listen back or cut them into an actual-play podcast. Transcripts come with the top supporter tier.

It suits a table that wants the raw audio, and a DM who will sit down afterwards and listen to it.

SCRY

SCRY records your session on Discord and writes the session notes and the campaign wiki from it. Each page shows the line it came from, and the audio is deleted within 72 hours.

It suits a DM who records so they can stop taking notes, and who never gets round to listening back.

Running both

Both bots can sit in the same voice channel. Keep Craig for the podcast audio and let SCRY write the notes.

Questions I get asked

Does SCRY keep my audio?

No. Audio is deleted within 72 hours. The transcript, the session notes and the wiki stay.

Do my players need to do anything?

No. When recording starts, SCRY posts a notice in your server. Anyone who would rather sit out can opt out once and their audio is left out from then on.

How much does SCRY cost?

The free plan covers one campaign and three recorded sessions. Pro is $15 a month or $150 a year.

Does SCRY work for in-person games?

Not yet. SCRY records Discord voice, so your game needs to run in a Discord voice channel.

Never lose the thread.

Run Sunday with SCRY in the channel. By Monday there's a session page waiting for you.
