TFT Discord
Would it be poor manners to post a link to a TFT Discord chat server here? I don't wnat to be rude but don't know the protocol.
Thanks in advance. |

Re: TFT Discord
I guess with over 50 views and no objections, it wouldn't be any harm.
Here's the server: https://discord.gg/SwZBAQ There are channels for real-time TFT discussion, voice chat, and online adventuring, and a dice bot. Only thing missing is people. CORRECTED LINK: USE THIS LINK instead. Sorry, everyone! https://discord.gg/Z7AtdCe Last edited by ParadoxGames; 08-18-2018 at 07:19 AM. |

Re: TFT Discord
(late reply) No objections. It seems like a Good Thing, in fact.

Concrete examples: it's the cat's meow for real-time interaction with backers, Ask Me Anything, or casual "Hey, how would you handle this situation" chat. It's also good for the text side of online gaming, out of character chat, etc. It is moderately OK for things like small-scale brainstorming if your user base is smallish. It's not BAD for playtesting actual-play style, as long as a record of your event in an organized session is not critical. It is horrid for things like receiving errata (where you want to be able to check it off a list), rules-based playtesting or anything where you really want a threaded conversation, or anything requiring archival or lookup. It can DO some of the things above, but it's not it's strong point.

Re: TFT Discord
Do enough people use Discord that we should consider doing an Ask Me Anything session? I personally like Discord and participate in a Lego-geek channel. Hands in the air if you'd come to an event like that, please. ParadoxGames, are you willing to host if this goes forward?

I would certainly drop an announcement on my blog, as well as Tenkar's Tavern, which has over 700 or 800 in it. That's a group that loves all things Old School, which includes TFT. The nice thing about Discord is of course that it's web accessible, doesn't REQUIRE an app install, and so you can take it or leave it, so long as you're willing to create an account. It's also not Skype or the equivalent, which seems to rewrite my sound/audio preferences anytime I think the word "Skype." Darn it, my sound is muted again.

Re: TFT Discord
So, after setting up a sister to the GURPS Discord, a Google spreadsheet for tracking "Looking for Group" games, and posting an announcement here a bit ago... Douglas pointed me to this thread from a day earlier lol. Sorry about that, I wasn't intending to encroach.
At the moment, though, I can't join the Paradox Games server (showing as an "Invalid invite"), so I've left the one I set up running. One way or another, there shall be real-time TFT chat!

Re: TFT Discord
It's been 10 days, so I figure I'll forge ahead with the server I set up. The usual announcements have been made, it's been linked/integrated to the main Game Geekery site, etc.
Feel free to spread the word any places I may have missed, and I hope to see you around the server! (direct link in .sig, or see the home page first.)
