Have we ever considered running this group on a Discord server? There is two main reasons why I think a Discord server would be awesome for managing RP of this scale: 1. Discord is really easy to use, and great for conversations, compared to a forum. People can stay connected outside of the game, and even RP outside of the game. You can do similar things on a forums, but it pretty clunky. For example, Discord's mobile app is super easy to use. 2. Making Discord bots is super easy. I've made a few myself! A Discord bot could easily moderate and manage all the characters, deal with stats, and do things like dice rolls and whatnot right in the chat server. Either way, just an idea! I can totally help with implementing it if you guys are in favour! Thanks a lot for having me here. This group is what I've been wanting since the first day I joined 3DXChat! <3

I wouldn't mind using that, it's definitely a much more fluid way to stay in touch outside the game for people who can idle there, and DMs are more noticeable than on the forum. And for people hesitant to involve an existing Discord identity with lewd stuff, you can easily link a second account to the Public Test Build version (Discord is apparently pretty obnoxious about letting you use multiple accounts otherwise)

I would prefer to keep the character system and stats on the forum. And to keep the forum no matter what. It's a good support and some people won't want to connect to discord.
Though having a discord server to had to the whole thing, and maybe handle dice rolling too could be nice yes ! That would mean being able to roll on smartphone instead of having to switch between the game and the forum.
My only concern is that most of time, chat being pretty smooth it will end up being a big ooc non sense (like world chat in 3dx) and RP will be lost in it.
For RP i would also prefer that most of the things are done inside the game and that the focus stay here. It could be a nice addition to be able to do a little on something else, but if it start to get more important than the game, it will simply die slowly.

On Discord, you can have different channels. You have the OOC channel for OOC nonsense, and then dedicated channels for RP and IC stuff. Granted, I do agree that some people might just choose to start RPing on Discord instead of in game. That's kinda good cause then people can RP casually from their phone or whatever, but also bad cause it's take focus away from the game.

People use discord accounts for non lewd stuff? Did I just get reverse kink shamed? I would envision discord as mostly being a casual OOC place to chat, it definitely should not replace the in game environment for RP in most cases. But separate dedicated channels could be created for each purpose and people can use them accordingly. Having dice rolls and item use recorded on the forum where everyone can see and verify them is very useful, though a discord dice roll system could have uses for things people might want to keep secret for whatever reason. And like Suzie said, some people may benefit from being able to do rolls on a phone if they're in a situation where alt+tabbing is more trouble than it should be The next question would be who should set it up and act as the admin, I would be happy to do so if someone more appropriate for the task isn't feeling ambitious.

First of all...yes, yes you did. The internet is for sex and cat pictures. But yes, I am all for discord. It would be a better place for dice rolls, or at least as good, as the forum here. Probably better for me if only because the forum never updates right for me lol. I would also be happy to set it up ^-^ So it sounds like Nika, You, or I could all do it. I have some experience being an admin and co owner of a server where I do most of the set up and such. So I'd also volunteer, or at the very least I'd volunteer to help spiffy up the place. TLDR; Discord server is a good idea.

I don't have a huge amount of admin experience with it, but I can definitely help out with organizing roles, moderation, etc; though I suppose the person who creates and 'owns' the server doesn't matter much as long as they delegate properly.

I made a server for us. We can build it up as we go along and figure out how we want to use it. discord.gg/W2UzfJ4
