Frequently Asked Questions

No. Recording is the easiest way to get a session into Loremaster, but you can upload a written transcript instead.

Yes. A phone or a USB microphone in the middle of the table works well. If you can understand the recording, so can Loremaster.

Record the call with whatever your group already uses, then upload the file. You can also add Loremaster to your Discord server and ask it questions with /ask.

MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, and most other common formats. Recordings can be up to 6 hours and 500 MB. One recording makes one session.

Yes. Upload a transcript as a text or Markdown file and Loremaster treats it like any other session. Background notes, backstories, and old recaps can go into your Campaign Prologue, which Loremaster turns into an opening chapter for your campaign.

Yes. When you create a campaign, tell Loremaster what's happened so far. It writes a Session Zero from your notes, and every session after that builds on it.

Usually a few minutes, and rarely more than ten. You can close the tab and come back. If you upload several at once, they process in order.

Better than you'd think! Loremaster learns the names in your campaign and listens for them, so Thraxxus the Unburnt comes through spelled the way you spelled him. If a name still slips, tell Loremaster in chat and it fixes it everywhere it appears.

Yes. Loremaster tells speakers apart and matches them to the players and characters in your campaign. When you upload, you choose who was at the table that night.

Every table has it, and Loremaster expects it. Rules debates, snack runs, and the argument about whether a bag of holding floats all get set aside, so your recap and Codex only pick up what happened in the story.

You're never charged for a session that fails. The session page explains what went wrong and gives you a Retry button. If it keeps failing, use Report an issue in the app.

Yes! Say "Hey Loremaster, remember the innkeeper owes us fifty gold" mid-session and it saves the note alongside the recap. Handy for the things you know you'll forget.

A title, a summary written in your chosen narration style, a list of key events, a few memorable quotes from around the table, and a scene illustration. Behind the scenes, Loremaster also updates your Codex, Quest Log, and timelines with everything that happened.

Yes. Pick a narration style for your campaign, from Storyteller to Epic Bard to Just the Facts, and change it any time. It shapes every recap and the way Loremaster talks in chat.

Yes, all of it. Recaps, Codex entries, quests, and timelines are editable in the app. Or just tell Loremaster in chat what to change.

The Codex is your campaign's encyclopedia. Every character, place, faction, item, and event gets an entry with a description, a portrait, and a timeline. Loremaster keeps it updated after every session. Changes to player characters wait for your approval. Everything else is filed automatically.

Yes. Tell Loremaster in chat: "Rename Kaelin to Caelan everywhere" or "The Hooded Stranger and Marcus are the same person." It shows you the planned changes and applies them only when you say so.

The Quest Log tracks every thread your party is pulling on and whether it's active, done, or abandoned. Timelines show the history of each character and place, session by session. The Chronicle is a short summary of the whole campaign so far, perfect for catching up a new player.

Yes. Each campaign has a switch in settings. Everything else works the same, and you can still upload your own art.

Anything about your campaign. Who was the merchant in session four? What did we promise the Duke? Answers come from your own sessions, and Loremaster says so when it doesn't know. Ask in the app or in Discord with /ask.

Yes. Everyone in your campaign sees recaps in the app. You can also copy a recap as text, download it as a one-page PDF, or save it as an image card for social media or your group chat.

Players need a free account to view the campaign. They don't need to pay. One plan covers the whole campaign.

Send an email invite from campaign settings. Players accept from their home page, and if they haven't signed up yet, the invite waits for them.

You choose. Viewers can read everything, ask questions, and download recaps. Editors can also upload sessions and edit the Codex and Quest Log. The campaign owner manages members and settings.

Not today. Everyone in a campaign sees the same recaps and Codex, so keep secrets out of the recording or edit the recap before players read it.

Yes. Create and join as many as you like. Each paid plan covers one campaign at a time, and you can switch which one from Account Settings.

Sponsoring means your plan pays for a campaign. Its sessions and images come out of your monthly allowance, no matter who uploads. A campaign only needs one sponsor.

Yes. Anyone in the campaign can sponsor it with their own plan.

Every account starts with a free 60-day trial. After that, Casual is $3 a month for occasional groups and Standard is $8 a month for weekly groups. Annual billing saves 20 percent. See the Pricing page for details.

60 days, 3 sessions, 3 images, 1 campaign, and every feature we have. No card required. That's enough to run a short arc with your group and decide for yourselves.

One recording or transcript, up to 6 hours, processed once. Failed sessions and retries don't count.

Your monthly plan allowance doesn't. It resets each month whether you used it or not. Credits you buy as top-ups are different: they never expire and carry over until you use them.

Loremaster tells you before you upload. Buy a session credit, upgrade, or wait for your monthly reset. Nothing in your campaign is affected.

Credits are one-time top-ups for subscribers: buy an extra session or a pack of images whenever you need them. They never expire and are only used after your monthly allowance runs out. Current prices are on the Pricing page.

Yes, and it saves 20 percent. Your monthly allowance still refreshes every month.

With Google, Discord, or an email and password. You can manage sign-in methods and turn on two-factor authentication in Account Settings.

Only you and the people you invite. Campaigns are private, with no public pages or links. We never sell your data. See our Privacy Policy for the details.

Recordings are stored securely and used to create your transcript and recap. Deleting a session or campaign removes its audio too.

No. Loremaster does not use your recordings, transcripts, or campaign content to train AI models.

Yes. Recording people without their knowledge is illegal in many places and rude everywhere. Before your first upload, Loremaster asks you to confirm everyone has agreed. Have the conversation at Session Zero. Most players are happy to be off note duty.

Delete any session from its page, or delete a whole campaign from its settings. To close your account, email support@valfarandsons.com.

AI is a sensitive topic in tabletop spaces, so we'll be plain. Loremaster doesn't write your campaign, run your game, or stand in for anyone's creativity. It's a scribe. It listens, remembers, and retells, so the people at the table can play. If AI illustrations aren't for your table, you can turn them off.

Sometimes. Even the best scribe misspells a name or credits the wrong rogue with the killing blow. Everything is editable, player character updates wait for your approval, and you can ask Loremaster in chat to fix a mistake everywhere it appears.

Check the Release Notes page. We ship updates every week or two, and we like to show our work.
