An in-game community channel would really help getting RP started, very glad to see this getting started and I would be honored to help in anyway I can.

Happy to help wherever I can! Tarts have a guild Alliance and Horde side and we host/help with events on the regular so I will definitely be joining the discord and community!

I’ll be keeping an eye out for the discord! Would love to check things out and see what goes on. MG has had success in the past, but something new with more positivity would be grand!

Hey guys!

I just wanted to make you aware of the nifty new “Events” feature in Discord, if you haven’t seen it already. It’s still in its early stages, but MAN is it promising.

You can specify a time, location, even now upload a banner image (so like… each of your guilds could have a banner or something). You can paste links, and it appears to have some integration with Google Calendar. Additionally, event coordinators can see who signed up for what events. That’s more useful for smaller events, but hey! It works for big ones too!

Whomever is in your Discord server can see a list of all the events in chronological order. It shows an icon on the server when one is running. They can sign up for events, and I think it might give them reminders.

I’ve used it a few times, and it’s pretty great! Especially if you got a lot of balls in the air. In YotS, we paired them with threads, another criminally underused feature. Whenever players said they were interested in a “mission” (mini-events that occurred during the week), we’d create a thread for that mission. Then, players could talk about it in that thread. We’d also create an event and link the event in the thread (then pin that message), and link the thread in the event. Once the mission was over, the thread would archive itself after a few days.

As a long-time dungeon master, it was amazing for coordinating and scheduling, especially with as many disparate calendars as we had!

It’s still missing a few things that would make it truly incredible:

  • You can’t specify a time zone, but it’s in your local time. So whomever is making the event just needs to adjust from WrA time.
  • You can’t set up recurring events.
  • You can’t share events between Discord servers. You can send links, but it just invites whomever gets the link to the Discord server on which the event was made.
  • The events don’t appear in a calendar. Just a big list.

Still, on the whole, a great new feature I recommend you look into whenever you get time!

EDIT: I got inspired to post this because I saw they added the “Banner Icon” feature for events. This is still a feature in-development, so hopefully a lot of the missing features will get added later, though I know nothing on the potential timeline.

This is the feature we are using in the WCP. It looks great so far and we’re super excited about it. I hope it gets expanded further into the future. Thanks for the heads up and good looking out!

:heart:

Yeah, that feature would have been really handy a couple years back, but I’m glad to have it, makes things alot easier.
