What is Crit Scribbler?

Crit Scribbler is a Discord bot that listens to D&D and other TTRPG sessions and posts titled recaps, notes, quotes and character images. A free plan allows four sessions a month, with paid tiers for regular groups and DMs.

Crit Scribbler is a Discord bot built for tabletop roleplaying groups that want a written record of their sessions without anyone having to stop playing to take notes. Once added to a server, it listens to the session and produces a structured write-up afterward, so players can stay in the story instead of scribbling during a villain's monologue. The output goes beyond a plain transcript. Each session gets a memorable title, a summarized recap, a set of comprehensive notes and a list of funny quotes pulled from the conversation. Transcripts can also be downloaded. The notes are written with ChatGPT, and the site says the write-up arrives within moments of the session ending. Paid tiers add AI-generated images of player characters, a group picture each session and, at higher levels, DM notes meant to help a game master prepare for the next game. Everything happens inside Discord. There is no separate app or document to maintain, and nobody has to switch between Discord, a word processor and a virtual tabletop. The bot is described as working with any TTRPG, including D&D, Pathfinder, Daggerheart and Call of Cthulhu. Setup is a standard Discord authorization flow, and subscriptions are handled by signing in with Discord and checking out through Stripe. The service is aimed at regular groups, dungeon masters who run long campaigns and players who simply want to relive the best moments. A free plan covers four sessions per month, which is enough to judge the note quality. Paid plans raise the monthly session count, add character images and finally remove the session cap. Among alternatives, general meeting transcribers can capture audio but are not tuned for campaign recaps, quotes and character art. Crit Scribbler narrows the scope to games and stays inside the platform where many groups already play, though that focus also ties it to Discord voice sessions.
