Joining mid-campaign?

You do not need to start a brand-new campaign to use Epicly. Whether you are a DM adopting Epicly partway through a long-running story or a player catching up on lore, there are several ways to bring your table's history into the app.

Start from your next session​

The simplest path: upload your next session and go from there. Epicly handles recaps, the GM guide, and Codex updates from that point forward. You can backfill older material whenever you have time.

Backfill with wiki entries​

Open your Campaign Codex and create wiki entries for NPCs, locations, quests, factions, and open plot threads. Paste notes from earlier sessions and organize them however you like.

  • Use private entries when you want GM-only details hidden from invited players.
  • Edit and reorganize entries at any pace — there is no rush to capture everything at once.

See the Codex guide for how automatic updates work once you start uploading sessions.

Backfill with text sessions (unlimited)​

If you have written notes from past sessions, upload them as text sessions instead of audio:

  1. Open your campaign and choose Upload session.
  2. Switch to Notes mode on the upload form.
  3. Paste your session notes — bullet points, paragraphs, or rough scribbles all work.
  4. Set the session date to when that session actually happened so your timeline stays in order.

Text sessions are free and unlimited. They do not count toward your monthly audio allowance or Session Pack credits. You still get organized recaps, a GM guide, and Codex updates — the same outputs as an audio session.

Process chronologically on paid plans

If you have unlocked the Campaign Codex on a paid tier, upload backfilled sessions oldest to newest when you can. The Codex builds itself more naturally when lore arrives in the order your table experienced it.

Backfill with Session Packs (past audio)​

If you have recordings from earlier games, Session Packs let you process past audio without using your monthly plan sessions.

  • Each pack adds 10 billable audio sessions for a one-time purchase.
  • Pack credits never expire and stack without a cap.
  • Your monthly plan allowance is used first; pack credits apply when the monthly pool is full.

This is ideal when you want full transcripts and speaker identification from old recordings, not just pasted notes.
