ChronicleForge is an automated archival and deployment engine designed to preserve the legacies of Play-by-Discord TTRPG campaigns. While standard chat exports often strip away the context and beauty of a story, ChronicleForge acts as a digital "Refinery"—ingesting raw data and forging it into a high-fidelity, metadata-rich archive presented through a professional web gallery.
Built for GMs and Server Admins who value narrative integrity, ChronicleForge ensures that your players' investment is never lost to the "infinite scroll" or Discord’s data volatility.
- High-Fidelity Preservation: Reconstructs complex metadata—including threaded branches, rich embeds, and reaction tallies—into a standardized 1:1 Discord API-compliant schema.
- Narrative Consolidation: Automatically merges parent channels and fragmented threads into a single, seamless chronological narrative.
- Intelligent Discovery (The Scout): Proactively monitors your server categories for new chapters and story arcs, adding them to your archive without manual intervention.
- The Asset Vault: Efficiently caches user avatars and custom emojis for global reuse while implementing surgical filename truncation for long-term filesystem stability.
- Forensic Safety Logic: Automated safety labeling using a 90% narrative-density threshold for NSFW content, featuring persistent manual overrides.
- Hybrid Deployment: Optimized for zero-install setup via GitHub Codespaces or permanent local hosting on a Raspberry Pi.
