Last updated: February 21, 2026

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)

  1. Visit scrymarket.com/register
  2. Enter your email and password, then verify your email
  3. 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

  1. Add the bot to your server
  2. Run any command (e.g., /inventory)
  3. 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):

  1. Open your party’s Inventory tab
  2. Click the + button on any container
  3. 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
  4. Use Quick Create at the top to make a custom item on the spot

From the marketplace:

  1. Browse items at Marketplace > Items
  2. Open an item’s detail page
  3. 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
