Generation Settings
Customize how your session summaries are written. Scribe’s generation settings let you define the tone, depth, and focus of each summary — making it easy to match your group’s storytelling style.
Where Generation Settings Can Be Set
Generation settings can be configured at multiple points in your workflow:
Campaign Defaults
When you first create a campaign, you’ll set your default generation preferences. These can be edited at any time from the Campaign Settings page.
Per-Session Customization
When uploading a new session, your campaign defaults will be shown. You can either use them as-is or overwrite them for that specific session.
Smart Rewrite Adjustments
After a session is processed, you can revise the summary using the Smart Rewrite feature. This allows you to reapply or tweak your generation settings — such as tone, emphasis, or style — to regenerate a better-fitting draft.
Content Length
Slider: Shorter ↔ Longer
Adjust the overall length and depth of the summary:
Shorter – A concise overview of major events.
Longer – A detailed retelling that includes character moments and subplots
Length in action: Shortest vs. Default vs. Longest
Other settings: More dramatic + Epic + Include Character Quotes
Writing Style
Slider: Factual ↔ Dramatic
Define the voice and narrative tone of the summary:
Factual – Objective, straightforward, and easy to skim
Dramatic – Rich in emotion and storytelling detail
This setting adjusts the writing style to fit your table's mood.
Tone
Select one or more emotional flavors to influence the writing. You can combine tones for nuanced results:
Lighthearted – Playful and upbeat, with a sense of fun and levity
Serious – Grounded and straightforward, focused on clarity and realism
Epic – Grand and heroic, with high stakes and dramatic flair
Whimsical – Imaginative and quirky, with a surreal or storybook quality
Humorous – Lightly sarcastic or funny, highlighting character antics and comic beats
Dark – Gritty, somber, or ominous in tone, suited for mature or suspenseful stories
Tone impacts word choice, pacing, and how moments are framed in the summary.
Emphasis
Tell Scribe which elements to focus on in the summary. You can select multiple emphasis areas:
Combat – Battles and tactical events
Roleplay – Interpersonal drama and character arcs
Exploration – Discovery, environments, and worldbuilding
Dialogue – Conversations, persuasion, and spoken moments
Details
Control the level of in-world flavor and mechanical context in your summary:
Include character quotes – Inserts notable in-character lines pulled from your session audio
Include game mechanics – Adds mechanical details like dice rolls, spell names, abilities, or other system-specific references
These options let you fine-tune the balance between immersive storytelling and gameplay clarity.
