Getting Started for Players

JickleJime lives in your campaign's Slack workspace. Ask it questions about rules, sessions, or your campaign — it searches the indexed knowledge base and gives you grounded answers with source citations.

Asking a question

Send a direct message to the JickleJime bot, or @mention it in any channel:

@JickleJime What does the Crawling condition do?

The bot retrieves relevant passages from the indexed corpus and generates an answer with source citations:

The Crawling condition means the character is moving on hands and knees... (Source 1)

Sources:

  1. shadowdark-rules.pdf pp.42–43 § Conditions

Multi-turn conversations

JickleJime remembers context within a conversation:

  • Direct messages — All messages in the same DM share context, so you can ask follow-up questions naturally.
  • Channel threads — Replies within the same thread share context. Start a new thread for a new topic.

Filtering by source

Use the from: prefix to restrict answers to specific documents or categories:

from:rules What is AC?
from:#1,#3 How does advantage work?
from:sessions What happened last week?
Syntax Meaning
from:rules Search only documents in the "rules" category
from:#1 Search only the document with ID 1
from:#1,#3 Search documents with IDs 1 and 3
from:rules,sessions Search both categories

Tip

Use from:rules when you want a rules-only answer without session noise, or from:sessions to recall what happened in a specific session.

What can you ask?

JickleJime works best with questions about material that's been ingested into the knowledge base. Common examples:

  • Rules questions — "How do critical hits work?", "What spells can a level 3 wizard learn?"
  • Session recall — "What happened in the last session?", "Who did we meet in the dungeon?"
  • Campaign details — "What quest are we on?", "Where is the treasure map?"

Visibility

Players see content marked as player-visible by the DM. DM-only documents (like monster stat blocks or secret plot notes) are automatically filtered out of your results.

Tips

  • Be specific — "What does the Crawling condition do?" works better than "conditions".
  • If the answer says information is missing, the relevant material may not be ingested yet — ask your DM.
  • The bot cites its sources so you can verify answers against the original material.
