Real-Time Collaboration
How ScryMarket keeps your party in sync with real-time updates and transaction history.
Last updated: February 21, 2026
Party Synchronization
When you are in a party, ScryMarket keeps everyone’s view in sync. Changes appear instantly for all members. No refresh needed.
What Syncs in Real-Time
- Party container changes (items added, removed, moved)
- Shop inventory updates
- Loot claims
- Member status (online/offline)
- Transaction notifications
No More Confusion
“Wait, who took the rope?” is solved forever. Everyone sees changes the moment they happen.
Personal vs Party Containers
ScryMarket distinguishes between personal and party containers:
Personal Containers
- Owned by your character
- Only you can manage them
- Examples: Backpack, Belt Pouch, Quiver
Party Containers
- Shared with the whole group
- All members can add/remove items
- Examples: Party Chest, Wagon, Camp Supplies
Giving vs Taking
You can give items to other players, but you cannot take from their personal containers (unless you are the GM). This prevents griefing while enabling cooperation.
Transaction History
Every party action is logged:
| Event | Tracked Info |
|---|---|
| Item added | Who, what, when, which container |
| Item removed | Who, what, when, quantity |
| Item transferred | From whom, to whom, what |
| Shop purchase | Who bought, what, for how much |
| Loot claimed | Who claimed, what |
Why Track Transactions?
Accountability: Know who took the party funds.
Fairness: Verify loot distribution was equitable.
Story: “Remember when Grimgar accidentally sold the artifact?”
Source Tracking
ScryMarket tracks where actions originated:
| Source | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Web | Action from web interface |
| Discord | Action from Discord bot |
| API | Action from external integration |
This helps when debugging or understanding party activity.
Online Presence
Party members can see who is currently online:
- Green indicator: Online now
- Gray indicator: Offline
- Last seen timestamp
Useful for knowing when to expect responses or planning sessions.
Party Pages
Party Home
The Party Home page is your orientation hub when entering a party. It shows:
- Party net worth and member summary
- Deployed shops and active loot previews
- Recent activity feed
- Round Table status (displayed when all players in the party are paid subscribers, granting the GM unlimited party actions)
Party Activity
The Party Activity page provides a full, searchable history of everything that has happened in the party. You can filter by category (inventory, shops, loot, membership), search for specific events, and export the activity log as CSV for session recaps or record-keeping.
GM Dashboard
GMs have a dedicated GM Dashboard for managing their party. From here, GMs can deploy shops, drop loot, manage identification, and review party metrics without switching between multiple pages.
Scrying Reveal
When a GM identifies a mystery item for the party, all online members see a Scrying Reveal animation. The item’s true properties are unveiled in a dramatic reveal that the whole party experiences together in real time.
Missed a Reveal?
If you were offline when a reveal happened, you’ll see a catch-up notification the next time you visit the party.
For more on mystery items and identification, see the Identification Guide.
Shared Inventory Links
Party inventories can be shared publicly via a unique link (/share/:token). This is useful for:
- Sharing your party’s gear with absent players
- Showcasing your collection outside ScryMarket
- Session recaps and planning
Shared links are read-only and can be generated from the Party Settings page.
Multi-Device Support
Your session syncs across devices:
- Start on your phone during commute
- Continue on laptop at home
- Changes appear everywhere instantly
You can be logged in on multiple devices at the same time. All sessions stay in sync through real-time updates.
Party Actions vs Personal Actions
ScryMarket tracks these separately for subscription purposes:
| Action Type | Examples | Counted Toward |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | Adding to your backpack | Personal limit |
| Party | Adding to party chest, shop transactions | Party limit |
This separation lets you prioritize how you use your monthly quota.
Best Practices
For Players
- Use party containers for shared resources (rope, rations, gold)
- Keep personal gear in personal containers
- Check transaction history if something seems off
For GMs
- Create multiple party containers for organization (Loot, Supplies, Treasury)
- Review transactions before sessions to catch up on changes
- Use shops/loot instead of manual item distribution
