Discord Bot Guide

Overview

The ScryRPG Discord bot brings your campaign into your game server. Add items, check inventory, trade with shops, claim loot, roll dice, and ask your familiar from the same party record the web app uses.

Getting Started

1. Visit the Discord Bot page to add the bot to your server.
2. Select your server and authorize the requested permissions.
3. Run /help for an overview or /inventory to open your inventory.

Your account is created when you start using the bot. To connect an existing web account, open Settings > Connected Accounts in the web app and choose Connect Discord.

Reading the Reference

Type a command in Discord and fill in its named options. In the tables below, <value> is a placeholder and [option:<value>] is optional. Do not type the brackets. Discord’s option picker supplies supported choices and validates lengths and numeric limits.

/party and /character use an action: option. Their actions are not slash-command subcommands. Commands such as /show, /loot, /library, /campaign-log, and /encounter require one of the subcommands listed below.

Command views are snapshots. Reopen a command or refresh its panel to fetch current campaign state; messages do not continuously mirror the web app.

• Overloaded: inspect /encumbrance, manage containers through /inventory, or ask your GM to review the party’s settings.
• Missing shop, loot, or encounter: check your active party and ask the GM whether the record is revealed.
• Bot not responding: check its channel permissions, try another channel, and check the community server for outage announcements.
