CharGen helps you run Dungeons & Dragons and other tabletop RPG games in Discord. Record voice sessions, create campaign content and manage combat turns.

Record sessions and find past details

Keep the audio from your game. Show live captions as people speak. After the game, create a CharGen session with a transcript and an AI summary.

Recording commands

Start recording: /start-recording
Start recording with live captions: /start-recording transcribe:true
Stop recording: /stop-recording
Set the transcription language to English: /set-language language:en

Other transcription languages are available. Live captions appear in the text channel where you start the command.

Save or process your recording

Select Download to save the MP3 audio file.
Select Create CharGen Session to process the recording in CharGen.

When processing is complete, read the transcript and AI summary in CharGen. Search the transcript or ask the CharGen Assistant about your campaign. For example: "Who was that NPC?"

Only the person who starts the recording can create its CharGen session. They must have an active campaign that they own in CharGen.

Before you record: Tell everyone and get their agreement. This includes people who join later.

Create NPCs, monsters and locations

Create content during game preparation or while you play. Choose from 10 generators: NPCs, monsters, taverns, shops, settlements, regions, worlds, factions, loot and poetry.
