What is ScryMarket?
ScryMarket is inventory management for tabletop RPGs. Track items, manage encumbrance, run shops and loot drops, and collaborate with your party in real time — from the web or Discord.
Works with Your System
D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, or Draw Steel — ScryMarket adapts to your game’s inventory rules.
What's New
Recent additions include the AI Workshop for generating custom items, Card Showcase pages with printable item/shop/loot cards, and a Loot system for distributing treasure drops to your party.
Getting Started
Step 1: Sign Up and Onboarding
Option A: Web (Recommended)
- Visit scrymarket.com/register
- Enter your email and password, then verify your email
- The Onboarding Wizard walks you through setup:
- Role — Choose Player, Game Master, or Both
- Game System — Pick D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Draw Steel, or No Preference
- Character (players) — Name your first character and receive a starter pack of essential adventuring gear
- Party — Join an existing party with a code or create a new one
You can skip the wizard and set things up manually later.
Option B: Discord
- Add the bot to your server
- Run any command (e.g.,
/inventory) - Account created automatically — no email required
Info
Discord accounts can add email later for web access via the /upgrade command. Web accounts can connect Discord in Settings.
Step 2: Create a Character
The onboarding wizard handles this for most new users. It asks for a character name and gives you a starter pack of items for your chosen game system.
Standalone character creation is also available at Characters > Create Character. The full form includes:
- Name, race, and class (required)
- Level, background, and notes
- Carry capacity (max weight and max slots)
Discord: Your first character is created automatically when you run /inventory.
Step 3: Add Items to Your Inventory
From party inventory (primary workflow):
- Open your party’s Inventory tab
- Click the + button on any container
- The Item Picker slides out with four tabs:
- Marketplace — Browse thousands of community and system items
- My Items — Your previously created templates
- Collections — Curated item bundles
- Party — Items already in your party’s containers
- Use Quick Create at the top to make a custom item on the spot
From the marketplace:
- Browse items at Marketplace > Items
- Open an item’s detail page
- Click Add to Inventory to place it directly, or Fork to create your own editable copy
Discord: /add item:Longsword adds from the marketplace. If no match is found, it creates a custom item.
Step 4: Join or Create a Party
Join with a deep link (easiest):
- Your GM shares a link like
scrymarket.com/join/ABC123 - Works even if you don’t have an account yet — sign up first, then the join completes automatically
Join manually:
- Go to Parties > Join and enter the 6-character code
- A preview card shows the party name, GM, member count, and game system before you confirm
Create a party (GMs):
- Go to Parties > Create Party
- Enter a party name (game system is inherited from your preference)
- Share the generated join code or invite link with your players
Discord: /party join code:ABC123 or /party create name:Dragon Slayers
