LorePanic

What is LorePanic?

LorePanic is a campaign companion for tabletop role-playing game groups, built around rules lookup, live transcription, and session recap generation. It is positioned as a tool for GMs who need to search rulebooks quickly, track what happened in play, and turn table chatter into organized notes.

The product can search the D&D 5e SRD 5.1 and a sample adventure, and it presents answers from the documents you own. It also listens during sessions, suggests relevant questions while the game is in progress, and can produce a structured recap after the call ends. A Discord bot version is available for groups that play on Discord, and the site also supports adding LorePanic to a phone home screen as a web app.

LorePanic emphasizes practical session support rather than general-purpose chat. The source describes it as useful for finding rules in seconds, recalling prior session details, and keeping a searchable record of NPCs, places, combat, loot, and unresolved threads.

Key Features

• Rule search across source documents, including the D&D 5e SRD 5.1 and a sample adventure, so GMs can look up rules and setting details during play.
• Live session transcription that turns table speech into searchable notes, reducing the need for manual note-taking.
• AI-suggested follow-up questions during a session, based on the campaign documents and transcript context.
• Automatic recap generation that organizes a session into structured notes such as NPCs, locations, fights, loot, and open threads.
• Discord bot support for voice-channel sessions, with per-speaker tracks and automatic recording when the group gathers.
• Home-screen web app installation on iPhone and Android, so the product can be launched like an app without an app-store download.

How to Use LorePanic

Start by trying the demo or beginning the 30-day trial, then add your campaign documents and connect the tool to your preferred play environment. If your group uses Discord, invite the bot to your server and run the /lp command in a voice channel; if you play elsewhere, use the web app or local microphone workflow.

During a session, use the transcript and AI prompts to look up rules or track important events as they happen. After the session, review the generated recap and copy the structured notes into your campaign log.

Use Cases

• A GM needs a rules answer mid-session and wants to search the SRD without breaking the pace of play.
• A group wants the session recorded and transcribed while they talk, so nobody has to take manual minutes.
• A Discord-based campaign needs automatic voice capture and a recap that identifies different speakers by name.
• A GM wants a searchable record of NPC names, locations, combat events, loot, and unresolved story threads after the session ends.
• A mobile-first user wants quick access to campaign lookup on a phone without installing a native app.

FAQ

Does LorePanic work without an app-store download? Yes. The site says it can be added to a phone home screen and used like a full-screen app on supported mobile browsers.

Can it be used with Discord? Yes. The product includes a Discord bot that joins a voice channel and records/transcribes the session there.

What kinds of documents does it search? The source explicitly mentions the D&D 5e SRD 5.1 and an original sample adventure, with answers drawn from the documents you own.

Does it only help during live sessions? No. It is also designed to generate a structured recap after the session ends, so it supports both live and after-the-fact note keeping.

Alternatives

• Manual GM notes in a campaign journal or document editor: simpler and fully under the GM’s control, but it requires the GM to type and organize everything themselves.
• General-purpose transcription tools: useful for recording speech, but they do not appear to be specialized for tabletop rules lookup or campaign recap structure.
• Virtual tabletop note-taking workflows: can keep campaign context near the game, but they are usually centered on maps and play tools rather than transcript-driven notes.
• Generic AI chat assistants: can answer questions or summarize text, but they are not described here as being tied to a campaign’s own documents, Discord voice capture, or structured session logs.
