We tried an IRC channel in the past, that stuff just never takes off around here. Candlekeep is just a little bit too slow and too small for such, unfortunately. |

Awe, well it would be interesting. But it is just an idea. I understand if it doesn't work. Thought I'd throw it out there |

Is Discord voice only or can you type your messages? |

You can type your messages. I don't use it much. The Roll20 game I'm part of prefers to use discord over Roll20 chat, and that's the only familiarity I have with the service. |

No it didnt. I'd love to though, but I'm not sure anyone is interested |

So I tried this Discord thing and I like it. And I can't find any Forgotten Realms Discord Channels. Can we have one? I've a lot of little questions that don't deserve separate threads on this great site. |

What about the old iChat? |
“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” #8213; J.R.R. Tolkien

I've no idea what iChat is, but Google says:
quote:
iChat (previously iChat AV) is a discontinued instant messaging software application
BTW as far as I can tell forgottenrealms.wikia.com doesn't have a Discord too. It might be a good idea to cooperate with them. |

I'm on Discord all the time too. I went ahead and made a Forgotten Realms server. It might never get off the ground, but I figure it's better than us continuing to wonder about if it ever will. :D Here's the invite link, I have it set to never expiring but if that didn't stick, let me know: https://discord.gg/NUdbqkG |

I'm on a Greyhawk discord server in addition to other games and systems. it's kinda useful in that it's all together yet discreet at the same time. |

Hey sno4wy,
I just saw this and checked out your server on Discord: thank you for doing that! :)
Best,
Rob

Hey sno4wy,
Did you ever consider taking [slowly, but surely] each of the categories, sub-categories, etc., from this site and getting them on to Discord? The versatility of Discord with channels, categories, and more seems like it could be well-suited to housing tomes of information as exists here, on that platform as well.
To be clear, I am not advocating for elimination of this site at all. Rather, just some redundancy, and an additional way to reach out to gamers utilizing platforms that they can easily be reached on.
Thanks!
Rob

Hi Rob, thanks for the suggestion! Discord is more like a chatroom than a forum though, so mirroring Candlekeep's format there, while feasible, would lead to a lot of unused channels. Furthermore, since it is all instantaneous communication, it's hard to guide the discussion in the same way a forum thread does. |
