Official Discord?
« on: April 13, 2019, 02:30:30 PM »
Just wondering if Steve or anyone else would be into making an official discord or something. I'd even be up for making it initially and then handing it off to steve if wanted. I just think it could be a cool platform to help get more active updates, more active discussion and if possible help get people together for multiplayer aurora games.

Updates are as active as Steve makes them regardless and I think keeping it all in one place is better. Forum also seems like a better choice of technology overall as it is more organized, better searchability for posterity etc. And this Discord fad will probably be over by the time C# Aurora is out anyway ;)

I'm saying this as a user of at least two unofficial Aurora discords myself.

The "External links" button does redirect to one of the unofficial discords, and elsewhere Erik does link to the Emissaries RPG discord, which appears to be dead except for the RPG channel I never asked for permission to view :s
That in a way gives us some officialism, also Erik can be found there to help people with forum issues too.

". . .  We know nothing about them, their language, their history or what they look like.  But we can assume this.  They stand for everything we don't stand for.  Also they told me you guys look like dorks. "

The Emissaries RPG discord is the server I use for online RPGs. At the time, there was no other Aurora Discord, so I made a channel there. It's pretty much defunct.
