LoreMonkey
Tools & Platforms

LoreMonkey

English
Dungeons & Dragons
LoreMonkey is a Windows app that records and transcribes D&D and other tabletop RPG sessions on your own PC. Connect the Discord desktop app and every line is labelled with the character who said it. No bot joins the call and no audio leaves your computer. For in-person games you can record the room with a microphone instead. After each game it writes a recap in your group's own style.  During play it offers short, well-timed prompts drawn from your campaign notes. It also keeps a compendium of your party, NPCs, places, factions and open threads. Ask LoreMonkey answers campaign questions between sessions and cites the sessions each answer came from. Recording and transcription are free and unlimited, it works for both players and GMs, and it supports any game system. Pricing The free tier is free forever. It includes unlimited recording, transcription and speaker labels for one campaign, plus a trial of the AI features (live prompts and recaps). Paid plans are monthly: Lite is $9.99 for one campaign, Standard is $19.99 for unlimited campaigns and adds Ask LoreMonkey, and Pro is $39.99 for several weekly tables. Notes Only one person at the table needs to install it. Speaker labels come from the Discord desktop app, so no bot joins the call. Audio and transcripts stay on the user's PC, and only the AI features send text out. It works with any game system and has separate Player and GM modes.

Obsidian

English
Free
Obsidian is a free, locally-stored Markdown note-taking application that the TTRPG community has widely adopted as a campaign wiki, session planner, and lore database. Originally designed as a personal knowledge management tool, it stores everything as plain text files on your own machine with no subscription required. Description Unlike purpose-built platforms such as World Anvil, Obsidian was not designed with TTRPGs in mind, which means it arrives without templates, stat block support, or any TTRPG-specific structure out of the box. GMs who want those features need to install and configure community plugins themselves, which carries a steeper setup cost than dedicated alternatives. For those comfortable with that process, however, the result is a highly customizable system with no ongoing fees and no vendor lock-in. A thriving plugin ecosystem has filled most of the gaps, and the tool has become a genuine alternative to subscription-based worldbuilding platforms for technically comfortable Game Masters. The plugin ecosystem extends well beyond what is listed here, with community tools covering everything from database-style note querying and cross-device sync to interactive maps and combat automation. A full directory is available at community plugins.

Margo

English
Subscription
Margo is a browser-based AI brainstorming tool for original characters, backstories, personalities and short story ideas. For tabletop players and GMs, it can help explore possible histories, motives, relationships and scene starting points for original RPG characters and NPCs. A user supplies a character or premise and chooses the kind of idea to explore. The resulting directions are material to select, revise and adapt to the table's setting. Its backstory and personality tools can support character preparation when a player has a rough concept but wants alternatives for how that person became who they are or might react under pressure. Margo also serves fandom and original-fiction writers. Generated suggestions need human review for consistency, accuracy and suitability, especially when using an established setting. It does not verify game rules or canon, and it is not a virtual tabletop or character-sheet system. The product offers a one-time signup allowance of 50 Sparks, valid for 7 days. Continued use is available through paid monthly plans or one-time Spark packs. Current prices and conditions are on its pricing page.

Loreify

English
Dungeons & Dragons
Loreify is a session note-taker for Dungeons & Dragons groups. Someone at the table records the game, and Loreify writes up what happened, so nobody has to stop playing to take notes. There are three ways to get audio in. At an in-person table, record in a phone or laptop browser. Online, add the Loreify Discord bot and type /loreify-record in the voice channel, then /loreify-stop when the session ends. Groups can also upload a recording made on any other device. Notes are usually ready 5 to 10 minutes after the session. Each write-up has a recap, a timeline of events, the NPCs and locations that came up, quest and loot tracking, and memorable quotes. Loreify identifies who is speaking, so quotes and decisions stay attached to the right player. Over a campaign the notes add up to a searchable history and an interactive Lore Map linking characters, factions, places and items. The group can ask questions about its own campaign and get answers that cite the session notes. On Discord, notes are posted to the channel with a shareable link, and players without an account can read them. Transcription supports 14 languages. Loreify offers a 7-day free trial, then costs $15 a month or $120 a year; a Casual plan at $7 a month covers up to two sessions a month.
