Quick start

What is ScryRPG?

ScryRPG is your campaign’s looking glass: one place where inventory, characters, lore, shops, loot, imports, session transcripts, Discord, and your familiar share the same campaign memory.

Getting Started

Step 1: Sign Up and Onboarding

Option A: Web

1. Visit scryrpg.com/app/register, or choose Continue with Discord on the sign-up page.
2. For email sign-up, enter a username, email, and password, accept the terms, then verify your email. For Discord sign-up, authorize ScryRPG with Discord.
3. The onboarding wizard asks you to choose Player, Game Master, or Both, then select a game system. Players and people who chose Both can create a character and receive a starter pack. The Party step lets you join with a code or create a party. You can skip optional setup steps or skip the wizard.

Option B: Discord bot

1. Add the bot to your server
2. On first use, run /inventory. ScryRPG creates a Discord-only account for you and opens your inventory.
3. Use /party action:create name:Dragon Slayers to create a party, or /party action:join code:ABC123 to join one.

Step 2: Create a Character

In onboarding, choose Player or Both, then use the Character step. Enter a name and choose Create & Get Starter Pack. The starter pack is added to your new character.

To create one later, open Characters and choose Create Character. After you create it, open its inventory to add items.

Discord: /inventory opens or creates your inventory and first character. You can also use /character action:create to create a character.

Step 3: Add Items to Your Inventory

Web:

1. Open a character and go to its inventory. Choose Add first item in an empty container, or the add control for a container with items.
2. In Add Items, search the Marketplace, My Items, or Collections tabs. In a party, you may also see Table library and Party, depending on the inventory and party settings.
3. Choose an item to add it. To create your own, choose Quick Create Item, enter the item details, then choose Create & Add.
4. To create an item template by hand, open My Content, choose New Item, then add it from My Items. You can set its quantity in your inventory.

You can also browse Marketplace > Items, open an item’s page, and choose Add to Inventory.

Discord: /add item:Longsword searches for an item to add. If no match is found, choose Create Custom and complete the form. The command accepts an optional quantity.

Step 4: Join or Create a Party

Join from onboarding: In the Party step, enter the join code. If the party requires approval, a GM or manager must approve your request before you can enter.

Join by invite link: Open the invite link from your GM. If you are signed out, sign up or sign in and continue setup; the invite is carried through the flow.

Create a party: In the Party step, choose Create Party, enter a party name, and choose Create Party again. Share the invite link or join code with your players.

Discord: /party action:join code:ABC123 or /party action:create name:Dragon Slayers. The /party command also has a party option and view and switch actions.

Step 5: Meet your familiar

Your familiar can help with your personal campaign context or a party. The private Familiar page is for your own conversation. Open a party and choose Familiar to talk in its shared room, where everyone in the party can see the conversation.

Web: Choose Familiar from the app navigation for your private page. In a party, choose Familiar in that party’s navigation.

Discord: Run /ask message:What potions does the party have?. Add the optional party choice to select campaign context. In a regular server channel, the reply is private to you. Asking in a familiar thread can continue that thread.

See the AI Assistant Guide for the full capability list and example prompts.

Access Methods

Both use the same campaign data. The web app provides the full editing workflow; Discord provides commands and panels for supported actions.
