Testimonials
Table Talk from the Archivist Community
GMs and players share how Archivist transformed their game nights.
"I’m a neurodivergent GM who runs several games during the week, many of which are the same adventure with different parties. Archivist has helped me not lose my marbles with everything that happens! It keeps me on track with every detail from every player I have, and my players also love it. Literally a game changer!"
Nina Gomez
Pro GM for 1 year
"Archivist has been a Gods-Send! As a professional GM, this not only helps me save time and desk space by removing the need for physical notebooks, it coordinates the extremely tangled web of information when juggling 3 connected games in a single setting. No more "when did that happen?" I just refer to Archivist!"
Adam Wemp
GM for over 10 years, player for over thirty years, Professional GM since 2021
"It’s the best note-taking resource I’ve used since I started playing. As a long-time DM, sometimes you miss little things in your notes; this program catches everything! Fantastic tool for new DMs or veteran DMs, and great for players to reference as well!"
Aaron George
Playing TTRPGs for 12 years
"Just logged my first audio session last night... And f--k me what an amazing tool!"
Khloriael
TTRPG Enthusiast
"Archivist let me focus on experiencing powerful game moments instead of stressing about whether I should be taking notes about them."
Alexander Y
Playing TTRPGs for 13 years, a GM for 6 years
"Archivist doesn’t just take notes: Your party can ask it about anything in the campaign, as simply as asking the question in a discord chat, and it will answer with only the information that was said in a session. Archivist doesn’t just keep it all straight, it helps your party put it all together."
Adam Maxwell
GM for over thirty years, and a player for more than forty
"I just used Archivist Beta for the first time for tonight’s session. I am gobsmacked! It is absolutely brilliant! Very easy to use and very accurate. I am so pleased I was offered an invite. Thank you!"

"Archivist continues to be the best gaming invention since I started playing TTRPGs two decades ago."

"Using Archivist has been huge. It tracks all the moving parts of the game, synopsis them and can be asked for details later, all without distracting you from the game! I’ve found it easy to use and my group loves quizzing the bot on our adventures!"
Tomas

"Loving this tool. It handles note-taking and session capture without trying to go beyond that. If I wanted AI to take over the creative aspects of being a DM, I'd use something else. Archivist doesn't do that and doesn't get in the way of letting me do what I do best."

"Archie is the best thing that has happened to me as a DM, it captures the essence of all my sessions, giving me quick overviews and saves me time in preparing the next sessions."

"I'm an obsessive note-taker. Archivist has allowed me to put that aside and focus on enjoying the game. Overall fantastic tool that could be made better as it evolves - and it sounds like you have some good ideas on the roadmap."
David
TTRPG Enthusiast
"This service is amazing. I just subscribed after the 2 session trial and we just had our 3rd session. I introduced the chatbot in game as a magical journal called the Lorekeeper’s Tome. Described it like Tom Riddle’s diary from chamber of secrets but less evil lol. All the players loved it. Now they can @Lorekeeper in its channel and ask questions."
