Run more campaigns. Prep less. Forget less.
Convoke gives Game Masters the tools that used to live in seven browser tabs and a Google Doc — Scribe summaries, an NPC library, a living lore wiki, scenario templates, and async session coordination. So the work you do once stays done.
No credit card. 5e today, more systems coming.
The problem
You have three campaigns you would love to run and time for maybe one.
The session you ran last month is already fading. The NPC you spent an hour designing for that one-shot is trapped in a Word doc you cannot find. Scheduling six adults takes longer than the session itself.
Convoke is built around a single idea: the prep you do should compound, not evaporate.
What you get
Eight tools that make GMing sustainable.
Campaign Scribe — session recaps that write themselves
After every live session or Scenario, Scribe reads the chat and drafts a recap. You edit, you publish. Players who missed a week catch up in two minutes.
- AI drafts, you edit — your voice stays yours
- Tags key events, NPCs, and locations automatically
- Optional. Turn it off and the platform works fine without it.
An NPC library that travels with you
Build an NPC once — name, voice, motivation, stat block. Drop them into any campaign. Share with friends. Spin up a campaign-specific copy when the party finally meets them.
Lore wiki with player-knowledge tracking
Every entry has a knowledge state per player: Unknown, Rumored, Partial, Known, Expert. When a player clicks a name, they see only what their character would know.
- 10 lore categories: Location, NPC, History, Organization, Religion, Culture, Magic, Item, Event, Law
Reusable Scenarios
Save a one-shot, a heist, a dungeon, a courtroom drama as a template. Spin up an instance for a new party. The skeleton stays — the players make it different every time.
Blast the Horn — async session coordination
Propose a session. Players vote. Hit your minimum-player threshold and it confirms automatically. Timezone-aware. No more "does next Thursday work" threads.
Two calendars, one campaign
Real-world session calendar for scheduling. In-world calendar for festivals, downtime, travel, recurring events. Players can see what their characters are missing in the world.
Combat and initiative without the spreadsheet
Initiative tracker, round counter, full stat blocks, conditions, dice rolls — all inline. Works for play-by-post, virtual tabletop, and in-person sessions.
The work compounds
Every NPC, lore entry, scenario, and recap is a brick in your library. After your second campaign, you are running on infrastructure. After your fifth, you are unstoppable.
What you will not find here.
- A VTT trying to be a CRM
- AI writing your campaign for you
- A subscription billed three days into your free trial
- A platform that requires every player to install the same software
