Real-time collaboration
How ScryRPG keeps your party in sync with real-time updates and transaction history.
Last updated: October 25, 2026
Party Synchronization
Connected party web views receive party updates in real time. Inventory, shop, loot, and party changes refresh for connected members when they have access to that information. Discord commands and console interactions use their own responses.
What Syncs in Real-Time
- Inventory changes, including items added, removed, or moved
- Shop and loot updates
- Party membership and settings updates
- Online presence updates
- New party activity appears in the Activity history without a manual reload
Live sync is separate from notifications. Inventory transactions do not send a notification for every edit. When a party settings change generates a notification, accepted members other than the person who made the change receive a web notification.
When an edit conflicts
Inventory changes include revision checks. If someone changes the same inventory record after you loaded it, ScryRPG refuses your stale edit and asks you to reload the inventory and reopen your edit. Your refused change is not applied.
Personal vs Party Containers
ScryRPG distinguishes between personal and party containers:
Personal Containers
- Owned by your character
- You, the party GM, and managers can manage them
- Party members can view non-private contents; private character containers are visible only to their owner, party GMs or managers, and admins
- Examples: Backpack, Belt Pouch, Quiver
Party Containers
- Shared with the whole group
- Members can add items to party containers and withdraw items from them
- 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 or a manager). This prevents griefing while enabling cooperation.
Transaction History
Party Activity shows transaction history for recorded inventory, shop, and loot actions. The list updates when a new transaction is broadcast to connected party views.
| Event | Example details |
|---|---|
| Inventory change | Actor, item, time, and action summary |
| Shop transaction | Buyer, item, and transaction summary |
| Loot transaction | Claimant and transaction summary |
Why Track Transactions?
Accountability: Review recorded activity when you need to check a party transaction.
Fairness: Check the recorded loot claims.

Online Presence
Party Home shows an online count while party members have an active web connection. Inventory views can show an online or offline indicator for character owners. This is connection presence, not a last-seen history, and does not indicate that someone is available to respond.
Party Pages
Party Home
The Party Home page brings together party information, member and character summaries, shops, loot, recent activity, and the current online count. Players see only shops and loot available to them.
Party Activity
The Activity page shows party transaction history. Search the loaded activity, filter by Items, Shops, Loot, or Other, and export the currently loaded, filtered rows as CSV. It is not a complete history of every party action.
GM Dashboard
Party GMs and managers can open the GM Dashboard for party management cards, quick links, visibility controls, pending actions, mystery items, and library curation. Shop deployment and loot distribution are available through their respective party tools.
Scrying Reveal
When an item identification is marked as dramatic, connected party members see a Scrying Reveal animation. If you miss a reveal while offline, Party Home can offer a missed-reveal banner with a Replay action.
Missed a Reveal?
If you were offline when a reveal happened, check Party Home for the missed-reveal banner. You can dismiss it or replay the reveal.
For more on mystery items and identification, see the Identification Guide.
Shared Inventory Links
Use /share in Discord to get your account’s public, read-only inventory link. Each visit resolves your current active Discord character and their non-private containers, so it reflects current data rather than a saved party snapshot. Switching that character changes what the same link shows. Party Settings provides invitations to join the party, not public party-inventory links.
Multi-Device Support
You can sign in on multiple devices. Connected party web views receive live updates; if a view was disconnected, reload or revisit it to fetch current data.
Inventory Actions and Plans
Manual inventory actions have plan limits that vary by plan and by whether you are changing personal or party inventory. These actions do not use your monthly AI usage allowance. Changes made through your familiar count toward that allowance. Other plan limits include character and party capacity, concurrent shops, and monthly loot and encounter deployments. See the Subscription Guide.
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 Activity to review recorded shop, loot, and inventory transactions
