Changelog

Recaps are built from long session audio and a lot of campaign context. They can and will miss a name, tense, or detail sometimes. These tools are here so those fixes stay fast and low-friction instead of a full manual rewrite.

New Features

• Ask Lorekeeper on session recaps — GMs and campaign owners get a sidebar chat on the recap to ask questions about the campaign and to suggest fixes to the open recap, its title, and its short description.
  • Lorekeeper's suggestions appear as inline diffs on the recap. Nothing is saved until you Accept or Reject each one (or accept all).
  • Read tools still let it look up other sessions and wiki pages when your question needs context, so you can ask questions about the broader campaign too, just like in the Lorekeeper main page.
  • The Ask Lorekeeper panel cannot edit achievements, the GM Guide, other sessions, or wiki pages.
• Wikilink Relink — Amber (unresolved) links in recap text now have a Relink step on hover (tap on mobile).
  • Search by wiki title or alias, then Apply for the link you clicked or Apply to All for every copy of that broken link in the same document.
  • Works today on session recap summary, session GM Guide, campaign plot overview, and wiki entry bodies.

Enhancements

• More accurate wikilinks when recaps are generated — Recaps are prompted to use canonical wiki titles in (not labels like Name (pc) which were occurring sometimes recently).

How to Use It

• Ask Lorekeeper: Open a session recap → Ask Lorekeeper → describe what you want changed or ask a question. Review suggestions on the page, accept what you want, then keep chatting if you need another pass.
• Relink: Hover an amber link → Relink → pick the right wiki entry → Apply or Apply to All → save the recap or wiki page as usual.

New Features

• Automatic image generation - When Codex creates a new wiki page, Epicly can generate a matching portrait without you writing a prompt.
  • Works in both auto and review wiki modes. In review, the portrait sits on the proposal until you approve.
  • Uses the campaign art style and the new page's text. Charged to the campaign owner.
  • Turn it on or off, and pick which wiki types get portraits (player characters, NPCs, locations, factions, items, quests, lore, custom), in Campaign settings → Images.
  • Defaults: auto-generate on; player characters and NPCs on; other types off; look is Classic Fantasy Painterly.
  • If Energy runs out mid-update, remaining portraits are skipped and Codex still finishes. GMs see a heads-up on the session page and in the review queue.
• Manual image generation - On a wiki page or session recap, anyone who can upload images can also tap Generate for an extra picture on demand.
  • Write a prompt describing what you want. Optionally apply the campaign's default art style.
  • On a wiki page only: Generate from wiki entry — Epicly writes the prompt from that page's text and the campaign art style, so you do not have to describe it yourself.
  • Charged to you (the person who clicks Generate), not the campaign owner unless that's you.
  • Available on live wiki pages and session recap galleries — not on pending review proposals, public pages, or the campaign Gallery tab.
• Campaign art styles - In Campaign settings → Images, pick a style preset (Classic Fantasy Painterly, Cartoon, Anime, Ink & Shadow, Storybook Watercolor, Comic / Graphic Novel) or write a custom style prompt. Automatic portraits always use it; manual generate can use it when you check the style option or choose Generate from wiki entry. Each campaign can look different.
• Energy - A new monthly allowance for AI images (automatic and manual). Shown next to sessions in Usage Overview. 10 Energy per standard image. Failed generations are not charged.
  • Free: 5 images / month (50 Energy).
  • Adventurer: 25 images / month (250 Energy).
  • Guild: 50 images / month (500 Energy).
  • Unused monthly Energy does not roll over. The meter resets with your other monthly limits.
• Energy Potions - Buy extra Energy that never expires, stacks, and is spent only after this month's included Energy is gone.
  • Lesser Potion: 200 Energy (20 standard images) for $2.99.
  • Greater Potion: 1,000 Energy (100 standard images) for $9.99.
  • Available from Subscription → Add-ons, including on Free. Potion leftover shows as its own flask line under the Energy bar so it is never mixed with your monthly include.
  • When monthly Energy and potions are both empty, the Images tab, Usage Overview, and dashboard (if any other limits are also empty) point you to potions or an upgrade. Audio sessions still use Session Packs, not Energy.

How to Use It

• Automatic: Turn Codex wiki updates on, then open Campaign settings → Images to confirm auto-generate, wiki types, and style. Process a session as usual — new wiki entries of the types you enabled get portraits while the owner has Energy left.
• Manual: Open a wiki page or session recap and use Generate. Type a prompt, or on a wiki page use Generate from wiki entry.
• More images: Buy an Energy Potion or wait for the monthly reset. Upgrade if you want a larger include every month.

Bug Fixes

• Quote blocks in recaps - Fixed an issue where adding a quote block and saving could strip the block from the recap.
• Memorable Quotes section - The Memorable Quotes section in session recaps now generates more consistently across sessions.

Enhancements

• Recap length preferences matter more - Concise, Balanced, and Detailed recap settings now produce a clearer difference in how much you get back.
  • Shorter recaps include fewer memorable quotes, highlights, and story sections; longer recaps include more.

New Features

• The Gothic recap voice - A new preset narrator voice for horror, dread, and morally heavy campaigns.
  • Brooding, atmospheric prose suited to Ravenloft, cosmic horror, World of Darkness, and grimdark fantasy.
  • Works with all recap lengths (Concise, Balanced, Detailed).
• Custom recap voice - Write your own voice instructions per campaign in the Recap tab.
  • Describe tone, atmosphere, and narrative style in your own words (up to 1,000 characters).
  • Instructions apply when sessions are summarized or regenerated.
  • Switch back to preset voices anytime — your custom text is kept if you return later.

What you need to do

• Open a campaign → Recap tab → pick The Gothic or Custom (paid plans).
• Regenerate an existing recap after changing voice to hear the difference.

New Features

• Wiki links between entries - Codex wiki entries can now link to each other, like Obsidian-style wikilinks.
  • The Codex automatically adds links when it creates or updates entries, plus in the plot overview, session summary, and GM guide.
  • Existing campaigns were backfilled so older content gets linked too — no action needed on your end.
  • To add or edit links yourself, type @ while editing and pick from autocomplete matching entry names and aliases.
• Relationship graph view - See how your campaign entities connect in a new Graph view alongside the wiki tree.
  • Nodes are wiki entries; lines are links between them.
  • Drag pins to arrange the layout; your positions are saved per user.
  • Minimap, focus on a node, and multiple layout modes to explore large campaigns.
  • Public campaign hubs include a graph view for fans (respecting published and public wiki visibility).

Enhancements

• Wiki links render cleanly everywhere you read campaign content — recap pages, version history, proposal diffs, emails, PDF export, Discord posts, and more.
• Wiki proposals and in-progress wiki updates can preview and autocomplete links, including pending entries from the current run.
• Link resolution matches entry aliases, not just exact titles.

What you need to do

• Nothing required for most tables — linking is automatic for new and migrated content.
• When editing wiki entries, plot overview, session summary, or GM guide, use @ if you want to add or fix a link by hand.

New Features

• Discussion on session recaps - Every session recap now has a Discussion tab where your table can talk about the episode.
  • Party is for campaign members only — the private conversation at the table.
  • Fans appears when the session has a public share link, so listeners and readers can join in without seeing Party chat.
• Discussion on Codex - Open Codex → Discussion (or the Discussion item in the Codex header menu) for ongoing campaign-wide conversation between members.
• Community on public campaigns - Published campaign hubs at playepicly.com/c/your-slug have a Community tab for fan discussion alongside AI Chat.
  • GMs can turn public comment surfaces on or off from Campaign settings → Publishing.
• Comments on public share pages - Fans who open a published session recap link can read and join the Discussion thread for that episode.
• Post, reply, and like - Join the conversation with threaded replies (up to two levels deep) and toggle likes on comments you enjoy.
  • Sort threads by Newest, Top (most liked), or Mine to find what matters to you.
• Pinned highlights - Campaign owners and GMs can pin one standout comment per thread so important notes stay easy to find.
• Profiles from comments - Tap a commenter's avatar or username to open their public Epicly profile and connect with other players.
• Comment reply emails - Get an email when someone replies to your comment.
  • Turn this on or off from Account → Email preferences.
• Comment digest emails - Catch up on discussion you missed without a flood of instant alerts.
  • Party chats digest — session Party threads and Codex Discussion for campaigns you are on.
  • Public chats digest — Community and Fans threads on campaigns you run or play in.
  • Follower chats digest — Community and Fans on public campaigns you follow but do not run.
  • Choose Off, Daily, or Weekly for each digest type from Account → Email preferences.

Enhancements

• Campaign settings save flow - Edit Campaign now uses one Save Changes button for every tab, including Publishing, Discord, and Codex.
  • Amber dots on the sidebar show which tabs still have unsaved edits.
  • Leaving the page (back link, header nav, or browser back) opens a confirmation dialog with Keep Editing, Discard Changes, or Save & Continue.
  • Toggles that already save instantly (language, Discord auto-post, Codex mode, and similar) still do — only draft fields wait for Save Changes.
• Campaign links on public hubs - Add up to five links on your published campaign page from Campaign settings → Publishing — YouTube, Discord, Spotify, Twitch, Patreon, RSS, or a custom website with your own label.
  • Links appear under your public description on playepicly.com/c/your-slug so fans can find your show, server, or podcast in one place.
  • Custom website links pick up favicons automatically; preset platforms use familiar brand icons.
• Comment counts appear on discussion tabs and session lists so you can spot active threads at a glance.
• GM and Player badges on comments help you see who is at the table versus who joined from the audience.
• Logged-out visitors can read public threads; signing in unlocks posting, replying, and liking.
• Share tab for players and fans - Players and public recap viewers can open the session Share tab to copy the public recap link, download a PDF, and use preview & copy — without the enable/disable toggle, which stays GM-only.

Bug Fixes

• Session and Codex status updates - Uploads and Codex session lists now refresh reliably while recap and Codex processing run, instead of often looking stuck until a hard refresh.
  • Fixed broken live polling on the Codex sessions tab and added Realtime push updates so tiles stay current as you move between pages.
  • Fallback polling still runs in the background (slower when live updates are connected) so progress does not stall if you switch tabs or briefly lose connection.

Why we built this

Epicly is more fun when tables and fans can talk about the story in one place — not only in Discord or off-platform threads. Comments are here to encourage discussion about your games, help you find other players, and make it easier to follow shows you care about.

New Features

• Public player profiles - Every Epicly user can claim a unique username and share a portfolio at playepicly.com/profile/your-username.
  • Add an avatar, bio, and social links (Discord, X, Bluesky, YouTube, Twitch, StartPlaying, and more).
  • Optionally show your real name on your public page from Account → Profile.
  • Your profile shows pulse stats (campaigns played, sessions, trophies), public campaigns you are part of, and achievements earned on published campaigns.
  • Private campaign trophies appear as a count only — no spoilers from unpublished tables.
• Profile avatar upload - Upload or replace your profile picture from Account → Profile.
  • Your avatar appears on your public profile page, in friend search and friends lists, on session party tiles, and on campaign rosters when your Epicly account is linked.
• Username claim - Usernames are required to use the app.
  • Email signup includes a username field with a live availability check.
  • Google, Discord, and older accounts are guided to Claim your username before entering the app.
  • Your username is permanent in v1 and becomes your public URL.
• Friends - Find and connect with other Epicly players outside of a single campaign.
  • Open Friends in the app nav for My friends and User search.
  • Send friend requests, accept or decline incoming requests, cancel outgoing requests, and remove friends when needed.
  • A badge on Friends shows how many requests are waiting for you.
  • Search by @username (fuzzy match) or by exact email if you know someone's address.
• Friend request emails - Get an email when someone sends you a friend request.
  • Turn this on or off from Account → Email preferences with Friend request emails.
• Smarter campaign invites - Adding players in campaign settings now starts with Invite user instead of a blank email field.
  • Pick someone from your friends list, look them up by exact @username, or invite by email if they are not on Epicly yet.
  • Linked Epicly accounts show as avatar + @username on the roster once they join — even if you originally invited them by email.
  • Campaign invite emails still send when you save campaign settings, same as before.
• Add friends from session party tiles - When a roster slot is linked to an Epicly account, hover a party member on session recaps, Codex home, or public campaign pages to Add friend (or manage an existing friendship).

Enhancements

• Profile links across Epicly - Player names on session party rows, public campaign hubs, and Discover creator lines link to public profiles when a username is claimed.
• Account → Profile - One place to edit your public portfolio, manage social links, and open your live public page.
• Campaign roster clarity - Player rows show Linked, Invited, or Invite failed status in edit mode so GMs can see who still needs to join.

How to Get Started

• Claim your username - If you have not already, go to Account or follow the onboarding prompt after sign-in. Pick a handle you are happy keeping — usernames cannot be changed in this release.
• Set up your profile - Open Account → Profile, upload your avatar, add a bio, and use View public profile to preview what others see.
• Find people - Use Friends → User search to find players by username or email, then send a request from their row or profile page.
• Invite your table faster - In Campaign settings → Players, click Invite user on a row, choose a friend or type an exact @username, then save the campaign to send invites.

New Features

• Public campaign hubs - Adventurer and Guild GMs can publish a read-only campaign page at playepicly.com/c/your-slug for fans, podcasts, and actual-play audiences.
  • Fans can browse Home, Plot, Sessions, Wiki, and Gallery without an account.
  • Published sessions link to full recap share pages; only published episodes and public wiki entries are visible.
  • Customize your hub with a campaign hero image, public description, play status, and genre tags.
• Publish episodes on your schedule - Choose which sessions appear on your public campaign.
  • Publish episodes manually from Codex Sessions or the session Share tab.
  • Or turn on auto-publish new sessions so completed recaps go live automatically when you are ready for a hands-off workflow.
• Discover public campaigns - A new Discover page lets anyone browse published campaigns.
  • Search, filter by system, status, and genre, sort by recency or episode count, and open any hub from the grid.
  • A Following filter shows campaigns you follow when you are logged in.
• Follow campaigns - Logged-in fans can follow public campaigns from the hub or Discover.
  • Follower counts appear on campaign pages and discover cards.
  • When a followed campaign publishes a new episode, followers get an email notification with a recap preview and links to read more.
  • Manage follow emails from your account email preferences.
• Chat with a public campaign - Logged-in visitors can open a Chat tab on a public campaign hub and ask Lorekeeper questions scoped to published content only.
  • Great for catch-up questions, character lookups, and exploring an actual-play show.
  • Fan chat threads stay separate from your private dashboard Chat for the same campaign.

Enhancements

• Campaign settings now include a Publishing tab for url customization, public description, genre tags, publish toggle, and auto-publish default.
• Campaign hero images and play status (ongoing, hiatus, completed, and more) appear on your public hub and Discover cards.
• Published campaigns show a quick Published link from your campaigns list.

New Features

• Manual speaker remapping - When transcription assigns the wrong speaker, you can now remap speakers on a session transcript.
  • This helps fix common mixups where one player's lines were attributed to another.
  • Regenerate summary and Save speaker changes are now clearly separate actions. If the recap had errors due to the misidentification, you can optionally regenerate the recap with the corrected speaker names on the transcript and get a better summary.

Enhancements

• Better PC wiki updates - Codex now writes more consistent and useful player character entries when sessions have meaningful PC activity.
  • Entries focus on personality, role, appearance, gear, and money when possible, instead of long lists of notable moments or exhaustive spell and ability inventories.

Bug Fixes

• Session auth errors - Fixed an issue where the app could lose auth state and show "not authorized to view this" when navigating directly to a session until you returned to the dashboard and hard refreshed.
• Duplicated wiki folders - Fixed cases where standard folders for each entry type could be duplicated in the wiki tree.
• Quest diffs in Highlight changes - Quest subtasks and status now appear correctly in the Highlight changes diff view in the Codex review queue.
• Transcript speaker misidentification - Improved speaker remapping guidance and handling when transcription misses a player entirely or assigns their lines to someone else, which could skew recaps and wiki updates.

New Features

• Player achievements - Standout session moments can now be saved as achievements and tracked per player.
  • Achievements are rarer than before. They are awarded for standout moments only, so not every player will earn one every session. Your cool moments still appear in the Epic Highlights section either way.
  • Each session can award at most one achievement per player.
  • New sessions automatically generate a few achievements in the recap. DMs can also create, edit, and reassign achievements from the session recap screen.
  • Achievements are saved to a player's Epicly profile when they have an account. Players can sign up after a session and their achievements will still link to their profile going forward.
  • Only achievements from new sessions are saved this way. Achievements from sessions processed before this update are not retroactively stored. To backfill older sessions, use Regenerate summary from the session "..." menu.
• Player wiki linking - In Campaign settings, you can link each player to their PC wiki entry.
  • Earned achievements transfer to that wiki page automatically.
  • When creating a new campaign, you can check a box to auto-create PC wiki entries for players, which also auto-links them.
  • Players granted edit permission on their PC wiki entry can edit achievements there.
• Achievements on your dashboard - View achievements you have earned across all campaigns you play in from your dashboard.
• Revamped session recaps - Session recap pages have a new layout with varied sections, tiles, and quote blocks.
  • Memorable quotes get their own distinct display in recaps.
  • A party section at the top shows the party who were present for this session, including profile pictures from linked PC Wiki entries when available. If there are multiple pictures for a linked wiki entry, the first one is shown.
• GM permissions for non-creators - GMs who did not create a campaign now have the same practical access as the owner for day-to-day management.
  • They can upload sessions, edit campaign settings, and freely view and edit the wiki.
  • This makes it easier for players in a group to create and manage a campaign in Epicly, not only the DM.

Enhancements

• Achievements and memorable quotes are now saved and displayed with dedicated UI instead of living only inside recap text.
• Session attendance and recap party UI can show wiki profile pictures when players are linked to entries.

Bug Fixes

• Mobile session gallery - Fixed an issue where you could not scroll through the image gallery on mobile.
• Mobile transcript tab - Fixed unreadable layout on the transcript tab in mobile session view.

New Features

• Pending proposals gate on uploads - New sessions cannot be uploaded to a campaign until pending wiki proposals are cleared.
  • This prevents wiki updates from stacking on stale canon.
  • The Upload page shows a review banner with quick approve and reject actions when the selected campaign has pending proposals.

Enhancements

• Dramatically faster Codex runs - Codex processing is now much faster, typically dropping from around 30 minutes to about 2–3 minutes.
  • Runs are also more resilient, with far fewer bugs and errors.
• Improved Codex wiki update error handling - Better recovery when wiki updates fail or stall, reducing hanging or stuck runs that never seem to complete.

New Features

• Sign in with Google or Discord - Use social login on the login and signup pages alongside email and password.
• Finish setup after social signup - New OAuth users answer "How did you hear about Epicly?" on a short onboarding step before entering the app.
• Campaign invites still work - If your DM invited your email to a campaign, signing up with Google or Discord on that same email links you to the campaign automatically.

New Features

• Discord recap posts - Campaign owners on a paid plan can add the Epicly bot to a Discord server and choose a channel in the Discord campaign tab. When a session recap is ready (after Codex too, when enabled), Epicly posts an embed with a link to the full session on Epicly.

  • Per campaign - Each campaign can target a different server or channel. Two campaigns can share the same channel.
  • Paid plans - Available on Adventurer and Guild subscriptions.

• Player recap emails on paid plans - The Player recap emails toggle in campaign settings now unlocks on any paid subscription (same as Discord). Adventurer and Party owners can email session-ready notifications to invited players, not only Guild.

• Recap Customization (length and voice) - Now available on Adventurer tier as well as Guild tier. Can be set per-campaign so each campaign can be different, rather than as a global account level setting.

New Features

• Public recap links - Optionally share a session recap with anyone using a link. Players and guests can read the full player-facing recap in the browser without logging in.
  • What it is good for - Keep the whole table on the same page after game night: send one link in Discord, group chat, or email so everyone can read the summary and transcript even if they do not have an Epicly account yet.
  • Players who already use Epicly - If someone opens the link while logged in and they are on your campaign, they are taken straight to the full session in the app with their normal access.
  • How to enable - Open a session with a Recap ready status, go to the Share tab, and turn on Public recap link. Copy the link from the card and send it to your party.
  • Turn off anytime - Disable public sharing from the same toggle. The link stops working while sharing is off; turn it back on later and the same URL works again.
• Transcript downloads - In the session recap page, you can now download the transcript as a text file for easy reference later, complete with the speaker diarization.

New Features

• Reorder images - In the gallery on session recaps and wiki entries, you can now reorder images.
• Session Packs - Need more audio sessions without changing your subscription? Session Packs are here.
  • One-time add-on - 10 audio sessions for $20 per pack. Buy multiple packs if you need more.
  • Great for going over your subscription tier limit occasionally, or for backfilling an existing campaign all at once if you have recordings of older sessions.
  • Smart usage order - Your monthly plan sessions are used first; pack credits apply only when the monthly cap is full.
  • Credits stack and never expire - Buy more anytime; unused pack credits stay on your account.
  • Clear limits UI - Upload and Sessions show monthly usage and pack balance; pack usage is called out when you are uploading on a pack credit.
  • Billing history - Pack purchases appear on the subscription page alongside plan changes and payments.

New Features

• Find & replace in the Wiki Editor and Review Queue - A new find and replace tool is available in the editor toolbar, accessible via the magnifying glass icon.
• Campaign transcript correction rules - A new section in Campaign settings lets you define find and replace rules to fix recurring transcription mistakes.
  • Each rule can have multiple inputs. When any input matches, it is replaced with the defined output.
  • Matching is whole-word only, so word fragments are never accidentally replaced.
  • Multiple rules can be defined and are applied in order.
  • Rules target the speech-to-text transcript, which is especially useful for made-up or fantasy words that transcription gets wrong.
  • Correcting the transcript naturally carries those fixes into all generated content, including recaps and wiki entries.
  • Rules apply automatically to all future sessions.
  • For previously processed sessions, open the session recap page, click the "..." menu in the top right, and select Apply word corrections to retroactively apply your ruleset to that session's transcript and recap.
• Text-based sessions no longer count toward your monthly limit - The upload limit now applies to audio sessions only.

New Features

• Multilingual support - Epicly now supports 42 languages for speech transcription and all content generation, including session recaps and wiki entries.
  • Site translation is coming soon.
  • Every campaign now has a default language setting.
  • When uploading a new session, you can leave the language at your campaign default or override it for that specific session.

Enhancements

• Improved wiki entity detection and extraction - The Codex should now produce far fewer duplicate entries and more accurate wiki content overall.
• Smarter wiki updates - Wiki entries now make fewer unnecessary changes.
  • If nothing changed in a section, the Codex keeps it word for word instead of rephrasing it without reason.
• Increased wiki entry length limit - The character limit on wiki entries has been raised significantly. You are very unlikely to hit any limits now.
• Improved campaign plot overview - The plot overview is now more consistent and better formatted after some significant reliability issues.
• Addressed a large number of scalability bugs and fixes throughout the app.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed annual subscription renewal date display - The session uploads page now correctly shows the monthly limit renewal date instead of the date a year out.

Enhancements

• New & improved campaign management - The Create Campaign and Edit Campaign flows are now dedicated pages instead of popup modals.
  • Each page uses tabbed navigation to organize settings into sections, making them easier to navigate.
  • Codex settings, formerly housed in a tab on the Codex page, are now consolidated into the Campaign settings page as their own tab.
  • This lays the groundwork for expanding and organizing campaign settings more easily in the future.

New Features

• View selector in the wiki review queue - You can now toggle between different views when reviewing a proposal.
  • Existing entry - View the current state of the wiki entry.
  • Proposed entry - View the proposed new version.
  • Side by side - View both versions next to each other.
  • Highlight changes - A merged overlay of the old and new entry that highlights what changed.
    • Sections removed or changed from the existing entry are highlighted in red.
    • Sections added or changed in the proposed entry are highlighted in green.
    • This makes it much easier to spot exactly what the Codex changed so you can review, approve, or tweak proposals faster.
• Views that are editable show a pencil icon so you can tweak the proposal before accepting it.
• Non-editable views include an Edit button to quickly switch to an editable view.
• Your selected view is saved, so the next proposal you open defaults to the same view you used last.

Announcement

Epicly v1.0 is here! Epicly is now officially out of early access.

This is a huge milestone for the app.

First, a huge thank you to every early access user and beta tester who supported Epicly during development. Your campaigns, bug reports, feedback, feature ideas, patience, and encouragement directly shaped the app into what it is today. Epicly would not be here without you.

What Changed

• Subscriptions have been reset to the Free tier.
• Payments now process through Stripe.
• To regain access to paid features, please resubscribe through the app.

Thank you again for helping bring Epicly to this point. I am incredibly excited for what comes next!

New Features

• Added a Changelog page for listing and finding change notes outside of Discord announcements.
  • The Changelog is linked from the app dashboard, the site homepage, and the homepage footer.

Enhancements

• Collapsed Chat tool calls so they are hidden under a Lorekeeper's thoughts section, removing clutter.
• Made the Chat header collapsing chevron hide when not in use.
  • This makes the Chat interface less busy.
  • When mousing over a heading or subheading line, a chevron appears to expand or collapse the child sections under that header.
  • The chevron only shows on mouseover or when collapsed, so it is still visible when you need to expand the section again.
• Removed early access notices throughout the app.

Bug Fixes

• Wiki Folder Move - Fixed an issue where, after creating a new wiki folder or entry, the wiki tree could freeze and the page would stop responding to mouseovers or other interactions.
• Wiki Move Picker Modal - Fixed an issue where the move wiki item menu could not scroll when there were too many destination options and they extended below the bottom of the modal.
• Chat - Resolved a sudden increase in chat errors and made the feature much more robust.

New Features

• Player emails sent when a recap completes now only send if the campaign owner is on the Guild tier.
  • This email sending can be configured per campaign by the campaign owner, so some campaigns can send recap emails to players while others do not.
  • The owner will always still get an email with the session status. This Guild-tier change only affects the other players in the campaign.
• Email recaps now include a legend in Codex update emails that explains what each icon means, such as quest, item, lore, and more.
• Email recaps now include a brief session summary as a sneak preview of what is waiting in the full recap.
• Special voices and recap customization are now also accessible through the Guild tier.

New Features

• Free users now get one trial wiki run that auto-creates their wiki.
  • After that, Codex automation is disabled for free users.
  • Paid plan users unlock Codex automation and can use it on every session.
• Added the reset password flow at playepicly.com/forgot-password.
• Added yearly subscription plans.

Enhancements

• Improved email deliverability so Epicly emails should no longer falsely trigger phishing alarms.
• Vastly improved the mobile browser experience and usability on the wiki, review queue, and chat screens.

New Features

• Added random starter prompts to the New Chat page.
  • Prompts are tailored based on whether you are the GM or a player for the selected campaign.
  • Clicking a starter prompt fills the text box so you can quickly see what Lorekeeper can do.
• Lorekeeper can now search for and use a session's GM notes when the user is the GM of the selected campaign.
• When you are logged into the app and navigate to the base URL, playepicly.com, Epicly now automatically redirects you to the logged-in app dashboard.

Enhancements

• Greatly improved the mobile browser experience in Chat.
  • The chat pane is now a collapsible drawer on mobile so the conversation can be full screen.
• In desktop view, the chat pane is now similarly collapsible.
• Added a loading animation while waiting for a Chat response, so it is clear the response is still processing.
• Chats now sort by the last message sent in each chat, rather than the last chat viewed.
• Chat responses now use headers to break up and organize large answers.
  • Headers can be collapsed and hidden by section with toggles.
• Made the chat experience much more user-friendly by hiding implementation-looking code details.
• Added nicer, on-theme purple scrollbars.
• The signup page now keeps your selected theme preference when you create an account.
• Players with edit permission on a wiki entry can now delete any pictures on that entry, not just pictures they uploaded.

New Features

• Added the new Chat tab in the navigation bar, which opens the Epicly Assistant Chat feature.
• You can create a new conversation for a particular campaign.
• The Assistant can search and speak to anything in your campaign, including:
  • Session recaps
  • Wiki entries
  • The auto-generated plot overview
  • The GM-created campaign description
• Lorekeeper pulls that campaign context together to act as a knowledgeable guide to your world.
• You can ask questions about your game world or ask for help coming up with ideas.

Enhancements

• Improved session upload processing resiliency - New sessions should now see little to no processing errors, with continued monitoring for optimization opportunities.
• The wiki tree and entry viewer now have consistent ... menus with the same options and icons.
• The Session Recap wiki change report now shows new and updated entity names even when they are proposals for GM review.
  • This lets player users still see the names before proposals are reviewed.
  • Previously, proposed entities were hidden from players.
• Added early access subscription instructions on the subscription page with the fake card for Stripe.
• Added a dashboard notification widget for users who have pending approvals in any campaign they own.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed subscription rollover lag - Previously, paid subscribers could briefly appear demoted to the free tier on their first login of a new month before the paid tier kicked back in. That should be fixed.
• Wiki entry merge now works again for quests after the recent quest updates.
• Deleting a session while it is processing now stops the session from completing.
  • Previously, the processing job could continue running in the background.

New Features

• Player Wiki Editing Permissions - You can now select players who are allowed to edit wiki entries.
  • Permissions are toggled per linked Epicly user in your campaign.
  • Entries can be selected individually or by folder.
  • If a folder is selected, edit permission applies to every subfolder and entry inside that folder.
  • When permission is granted, player users can use the Edit button when viewing an entry and change anything.
  • Permissions can be changed from the Codex Settings tab or from the ... menu in the wiki folder tree pane.
• Quest Tasks - Quest entries in the wiki now have a Quest Status field to indicate whether the quest is not started, in progress, failed, or completed.
  • Quests also have ordered subtasks that can be checked off to track your plan and progress.
  • Quest status and subtasks are auto-generated by the Codex when processing sessions.

Enhancements

• Campaign page tiles now show session counts.
• Improved automatic quest tracking.
• The plot overview now adds detail and grows in length over time, rather than resummarizing and condensing every time.
• Added loading animation and feedback when approving all or rejecting all from the proposal screen.
• Moved the merge entry button into edit mode, near the save button.
• During file upload, Epicly now warns before accidental navigation away from the uploads page.

New Features

• Session Recap Images - Players and GMs now have a new image gallery at the top of session recaps.
  • Anyone can add pictures to capture things that happened during the game session, maps, or anything else useful.
  • Players can only delete images they added.
  • GMs can delete any session image.
  • Images are viewable by everyone in the game and are scoped to that specific session.
  • Each session starts with a clean slate.
• Wiki Entry Images - Each Codex wiki entry now has an image gallery at the top.
  • These can be used as NPC profile pictures, faction banners and logos, location art, and more.
  • Currently, only the GM or campaign owner can add images to wiki entries.
• Gallery - The Codex now has a Gallery tab.
  • You can browse, sort, search, and view all images uploaded to your campaign's sessions or wiki entries.
  • Clicking an image expands it and shows a link to the session or wiki entry it came from.
• Entity Auto-Merge - If the Codex creates a duplicate entity for something that already exists, there is now a merge button to fix it automatically.
  • Merging can be done from a proposal when in review mode or from an existing entity.
  • Select the entity you want to merge into, provide a reason and instructions, and Epicly will delete the duplicate and update the destination entry appropriately.

New Features

• Session email notifications - Users now receive emails about their sessions.
  • When a new session finishes processing, players and GMs get a notification email.
  • GMs and campaign owners also receive emails when a session fails to process for any reason.
  • These are in addition to the emails users receive when they are added to new campaigns.
  • All emails can be opted out from a button in the email footer, which opens the revamped account page and email preferences.
• Multi-track audio uploads - If you record a session with multiple audio files, you can upload multiple parallel tracks and Epicly will transcribe and merge them.
  • Each track can include multiple speakers.
  • If you play on Discord and use craig.chat, Craig outputs parallel tracks that can be passed directly into Epicly.
  • No user post-processing is required.
• Better location moving controls in the wiki.
  • The full folder structure now appears expanded in a new popup modal.

Enhancements

• Improved transcription spelling and Codex entity matching.
  • Epicly better recognizes names of entities already in your Codex and spells them correctly.
  • Correct spellings help the Codex match existing entities instead of creating new ones by mistake.
• Improved entity matching and quest tracking.
• Epicly can no longer rename Codex entry titles during Codex updates.
• GMs now have edit and delete buttons on Codex session lists.
  • Previously, these were only on the Uploads page.
  • They are now available in the Codex and Sessions lists for GMs as well.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a UI bug in the GM notes player arcs section.
• Fixed the wiki change report so it is closed by default on the session recap page.
• Fixed the wiki change report mobile view.

New Features

• When processing a new session upload, after the transcript and recap are generated, the session now runs through the new Codex Update System.
  • This process automatically creates and updates many things for your campaign.
  • The Codex run can be toggled off for a campaign to skip the automation.
• The Codex can create and auto-update a high-level Plot Overview for your campaign.
  • Plot overview updates can be toggled off.
  • The generated overview can also be manually edited.
• The Codex extracts entities from game sessions, including:
  • Locations
  • Factions
  • Player characters
  • NPCs
  • Lore
  • Quests
• For each entity, the Codex creates a wiki entry if one does not already exist.
  • If it finds an existing entry based on a matching name or alias, it updates that wiki entry instead.
• The Codex auto-generates a folder structure to organize and place entries in the wiki.
  • Location entries can be nested according to inferred geography.
  • You can fully customize and reorganize the structure later.
  • If you create a different folder organization pattern, the Codex follows your pattern when suggesting new entry placement.
  • The Codex only changes folder location and creates folders for new entries.
  • It never moves existing entries.
• Different modes - Set your Codex to Auto or Review mode.
  • In Auto mode, it automatically applies creates and updates to your campaign wiki.
  • In Review mode, it queues proposals for you to review in the Codex wiki.
  • For each proposal, you approve or reject the change.
  • For update proposals to existing entities, you can compare the proposed new version side by side with the existing version.
  • You can edit a proposal before approving it.
• Versions - The plot overview and every wiki entry now save backups anytime a new version is created.
  • Manual edits and automatic Codex updates both create backups.
  • Automatic changes include a generated change summary that describes what changed in each version.
  • Use the Show Versions button to browse and view past versions.
  • This makes it possible to reference old information and avoid losing anything important by accident.
• Codex Change Report on the Session page - Session recap pages now have a Change Report at the top.
  • It shows the current status of the latest Codex update run for that session.
  • It refreshes automatically while in progress.
  • It lists entities created and updated by the Codex from that session.
  • You can click entities to jump to them.
  • If there are pending proposals, the GM sees that list in the Change Report.
  • Players only see accepted changes.
• Codex page - The Codex page has been revamped with many new tabs and features.
  • Previously, the Codex only showed a list of sessions for the campaign.
  • The Home tab shows stats for your campaign, including how long it has been since your last session and your longest weekly game streak.
  • The Overview tab shows the campaign description written by the campaign owner and the auto-generated and updated plot overview.
  • The Sessions tab shows the list of all sessions for the campaign in a list or timeline view.
• The Wiki tab - The home for your auto-generated and auto-maintained campaign knowledge base.
  • The wiki appears in a folder tree pane on the left.
  • Clicking an entry in the tree opens its contents in the central pane.
  • If you have pending approvals in Review mode, a button appears at the top of the wiki.
  • Clicking that button opens the Review Queue and temporarily replaces the wiki.
  • Clicking the button again closes the queue and returns to the wiki.
  • You can create folders and entries, reorganize existing ones, delete items, and more.
  • Clicking the ... button next to an entry or folder in the wiki tree pane shows many fine-control options.
• Auto-update toggle - On by default for every entry.
  • Toggling it off prevents that entry from being changed by any Codex updates.
  • No proposals will be generated for that entry either.
  • This helps stabilize entries you do not want changed, effectively making the Codex ignore them.
• Search bar - Search for any entry by name or alias and jump to it.
  • Players and GMs can search the whole knowledge base instantly.
• Private toggle - Off by default on every entry.
  • Toggling it on adds a lock icon to the wiki row to indicate private status.
  • Private entries are invisible to players.
  • You can also set a folder to private, which hides that folder and all entries and subfolders inside it.
  • This is useful for planning ahead before a reveal.
• Entry Editor - Clicking Edit on an entry lets you change everything about it in editor mode.
  • Rich text formatting controls are included.
• Related tags - Each entry can link to other entries.
  • Clicking a related tag jumps straight to that entry.
  • Auto-generated entries include preset related tags.
  • You can add and remove tags later.
• Aliases - Each entry is auto-generated with a few aliases.
  • Use aliases for alternate names, nicknames, and misspellings of the entry title.
  • This helps the system find and match existing entries, so it updates them instead of constantly creating new ones.
• GM Notes field - Each wiki entry has its own GM notes field for hidden information.
  • Players cannot see GM notes on any entry.
• Settings tab - Only campaign owners and GMs can see this tab.
  • Change the Codex mode from Auto to Review.
  • Turn off Codex processing entirely.
• Security - Editing and control capabilities are only visible to and usable by the campaign creator and/or GMs in that campaign.

How to Use It

• How to use it
  • Codex automation is enabled by default and runs on your next session upload.
  • In the Uploads tab, each session row now has an icon showing the status of the Recap flow and the Codex flow.
  • Existing sessions show Wiki not run until you run it.
• Using Codex on previous sessions
  • Go to the session recap page for any session.
  • In the top right, click the ... icon and select Trigger wiki updates.
  • A processing status appears as the run starts.
  • It will take several minutes to complete.
  • The same menu also includes Retry last wiki updates.
  • Use Retry last wiki updates only when the wiki process has failed; it will attempt to pick up where it left off and finish.
• Important note about reruns
  • If you trigger Codex on a session that has already completed its Codex update, or run Codex on a session out of campaign order, it will still apply updates as if the information is new.
  • That can create strange updates that do not make sense for your campaign.
• Backfilling your wiki
  • It is highly recommended to go back to your first session and trigger a Codex run.
  • Once it completes and you approve all changes, process the rest of your sessions in chronological order.
  • This gets your Codex up to date and ready for your next session.

New Features

• Created a new session input type: notes uploads.
  • If you did not record session audio but still want an Epicly recap for your party, you can write what happened or paste your session notes.
  • Epicly can still generate the organized summary, GM guide, shareable recap, and store everything in one place.
  • On the session details page, players can see the recap input you pasted.
  • Notes input appears in the tab where the transcript usually appears for audio sessions.
  • Text session uploads are tracked and counted per month and behave like audio session uploads.

Enhancements

• Added auto-retry functionality.
  • If a stage of session processing fails, Epicly should retry once and then continue.
  • This improves reliability.
  • If a stage fails twice, the session can still fail.
• Added the attendance list to the session details page for each session, just under the title.
  • Click it to see who was and was not at each session.
• When creating and uploading a new session, there is no longer a Session Number field.
• You can now edit the session date.
• Session Number is now dynamically computed in all displays based on the session date compared to all other sessions for that campaign.

Enhancements

• Added an attendance section when uploading session audio.
  • You can optionally customize attendance for that session.
  • Campaign players can be unchecked when absent.
  • Guests can be added.
  • This can drastically improve transcription and diarization accuracy when the speakers present are different than normal.
  • By default, Epicly assumes all campaign players are present and maps speakers accordingly.
  • Speaker mapping can become inaccurate when some players miss a game, so attendance customization helps.
• Created a more player-friendly user experience for users who are not GMs.
  • In the dashboard, players can now see recent sessions for any campaigns they are in, not only campaigns they created.
  • In the Campaigns tab, players can see any campaign they are a player in, not only campaigns they created.
  • Campaigns are labeled to indicate whether the user created them or is a player in them.
  • Users can only edit and delete campaigns they created.
  • The Sessions tab is now called the Uploads tab.
  • Uploads is for seeing and managing sessions you created, where you can still rename, delete, and see processing status.
  • Buttons on recent sessions in the dashboard and on campaign tiles direct player users to the Codex, where they can see more.

New Features

• Added the session Share tab.
• You can copy the whole session recap with one click and share it with your party.
• You can also download the recap as a PDF.

New Features

• When you add emails to players in a campaign, Epicly now automatically sends an invite notification email to that address.
• If the invited player does not have an account yet, Epicly also sends an invite email with a magic link to set up their account and password.
  • Users no longer need to separately sign up for the waitlist and get granted access before joining a DM's table.
• In the campaign dialog, each player now has a status indicating whether they have been invited to the platform or already have an account.
  • Existing accounts are instantly linked to the campaign's Codex.
  • Status is only accurate for new invites.
  • Invites that were already sent to new-user emails but not accepted may indicate linked accounts even if the user has not used the magic link yet.
• Epicly now sends automatic confirmation emails when someone signs up on the waitlist.
• Epicly now sends welcome emails when someone creates an account.

Enhancements

• These quality-of-life improvements reduce friction when onboarding new users and help DMs bring their tables into Epicly.
