Getting Started

What Roll Call does and how a campaign runs from start to finish.

• How Roll Call works A GM creates a campaign, players say when they are free, and Roll Call proposes session times that fit.

Discord

Running Roll Call from your party's Discord server.

• Discord commands What each /rollcall command does, who can run it, and where. A GM starts with /rollcall setup to link a channel.

Campaign Setup

For GMs: creating a campaign, tuning how it schedules, and getting your party in.

• Creating your first campaign A walkthrough of the campaign form, from name and game system through cadence, quorum, and scheduling style.
• Quorum: how many players a session needs Quorum is the number of players who must be able to attend before Roll Call will propose a session. It does not count the GM.
• Session schedule windows Set which days and times your campaign is willing to play by cycling each day through preferred, if need be, and never.
• Inviting players to your campaign Share your invite link, approve who joins, and replace the link when you need to.
• Managing your party Approve join requests, remove players, reset an answer, and set the order Roll Call favours.
• Blocking dates for your campaign Take specific days off the table for the whole group, and skip major holidays automatically.
• Pausing and ending a campaign Why campaigns pause on their own, how to resume one, and what ending a campaign does.

Availability

Telling Roll Call when you can play, and what your group sees.

• Setting your availability Your recurring availability is the window you are generally free to play. It applies to every campaign you play in.
• Answering the session poll The three answers and what the conflict hints mean.
• Time off for specific dates Block dates you cannot play on top of your recurring availability, for a whole day or part of one.
• Auto-RSVP: letting your calendar answer Turn on Auto-RSVP and Roll Call answers the session poll for you each round.
• What your GM can see Your GM sees whether you can make a proposed time. They never see your calendar, your events, or why you are busy.

Scheduling

How Roll Call picks session times, and what to do when it cannot.

• How Roll Call picks session times How Roll Call builds the list of possible times, applies quorum, ranks what is left, and proposes sessions.
• How a scheduling round runs A round asks the party for availability and offers the GM times that fit.
• RSVPs and attendance Changing your attendance for a booked session, and how a GM sets attendance for the table.
• Cancelling a session How a GM cancels an upcoming session, and when to reschedule instead.
• Roll Call could not find any times Six usual causes, in the order worth checking: quorum, schedule windows, player responses, blocked dates, no eligible period, and your own time off or calendar.

Calendar Sync

Connecting Google or Apple Calendar so your busy times stay current.

• Connecting Google Calendar Connect Google so Roll Call reads your busy times automatically, and choose which of your calendars count.
• Connecting Apple Calendar Apple requires an app-specific password. Here is how to generate one and connect your iCloud calendar.
• Choosing which calendars Roll Call reads Pick which of your calendars count as busy time, and leave out the ones that would block your evenings for no reason.
• Sessions on your calendar Roll Call adds the sessions you attend to a calendar it manages in your account, when the GM's plan includes calendar write-back.
• Fixing calendar sync problems Sync errors, expired authorization, rejected Apple passwords, and what to try before contacting support.
