Question
What did the party promise Captain Varn in Session 18, and which quest is blocked now?
Answer
They promised to deliver the Ember Sigil by dawn. The Harbor Debt quest is blocked because the sigil was traded to the Glass Syndicate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions people ask when comparing dnd tools and dm tools.
Can I use Archivist if I do not play on Discord?
Yes. Discord is optional. You can run the same workflow with audio uploads, transcripts, raw notes, or play-by-post exports and still get planning, recall, and shareable outputs.
Can players use Archivist too, or is it only for GMs?
Players can use Archivist as well. They can review recaps, follow quest and timeline updates, and access shared campaign pages without relying on the GM to resend notes.
Can I plan sessions inside Archivist, or is it only for recaps?
You can plan directly in Archivist using journals, structured campaign notes, and reusable prep context. Recaps are one part of the workflow, not the whole product.
How is Archivist different from other DM tools?
Most DM tools solve one part of the workflow, like notes, prep, or recaps. Archivist connects planning, session capture, campaign memory, search, and shareable outputs in one system.
Read the full FAQ.
Archivist supports D&D and all other TTRPG systems, combining session planning, campaign memory, search, and shareable outputs in one system.
