FYI - Pathfinder Society Online - "Official" Discord Server

[Jesse Davis]

Howdy!

Hope everyone is having a great week.

We have created an "Official" PFS Online Discord server to to use for Online Play community discussion, questions, Online Event support, et cetera.

What is Discord you ask?

Discord is a free, web browser-based voice and text chat app designed specifically for gaming that is platform neutral.  (It also has desktop apps for Mac and Windows, as well as mobile apps for Android and iOS.)

We performed a "soft-opening" test of it during Roll20Con and it seems to work pretty well. (And it has been used for Online Play, in general, for some time now.)

If you wish to join, you can join the server at:

http://PFSChat.com

Currently we have it setup as the following channels:

#general : For general chat related to PFS play.

#pbp_lfg : For Play-by-Post(PbP) game announcements and those looking for players/GMs for PbP games.

#vtt_lfg : For Virtual Tabletop(VTT) game announcements and those looking for players/GMs for VTT games.

#links : For posting links so that they can be easily found for other chat channels.  This channel is ONLY for links and not discussion.

#ask_the_vos : Have a question for the PFS Online Venture-Officers and require a quick response - Ask us here.  (If the question is not urgent please email us at PFSOnl...@Gmail.com instead and we'll get back to you ASAP.)

#announcements : Channel for PFS Online Venture-Officer announcements.

#table_x_chat / #table_x_voice : Rooms for games, et cetera.  Users should reserve both the chat and audio channel of the matching number.  If additional rooms need to be added please @ mention @ironhelixx and we will add additional rooms.

#EventNameX : Additional channels will be created for events.  Those rooms will persist for 30 days after the event ends and then be removed.

We will likely be adjusting/fine-tuning these channels as we go forward.  But this is where we will start.  :)

If you wish to try Discord for in-game audio, please feel free to grab one of the available "tables" and have at it.  [Please be respectful of rooms already in use.]  There are currently 5 game channels available, but we can easily add more as they are needed.

All server chat should be kept "Rated PG" and family friendly.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions please let us know.

Best wishes,

- Jesse

Mods, can we get this stickied?

The discord channel can be a huge resource for PFS, and Pathfinder in general. No more need for Skype, or Hangouts, or IRC, or the rest - discord has it all. Chat and voice, web based, client or mobile app, and you see all the chatter that was going on before you opened the app. Someone renovating their apartment in the middle of a game? No problem, drop their volume to 10% instead of dropping yours and everyone else to 10% with them.
