Forums » Smalltalk » Discord or Here?

This is how I feel as well.

Before I joined RPR, I preferred Discord. But I really like the character count that RPR provides over Discord. On Discord it's right around 2,000 characters, which is roughly 300-400 words. Meaning that most posts have to be split up into multiple messages, which I find really annoying. Whereas here on RPR, I've had posts reach 900+ words and it wasn't even an issue.

So now whenever I start an RP with someone on here, I ask if they'd like to use discord for OOC, and here for posts. Some are fine with that, and others want to keep everything on-site, which is also totally fine with me. I just usually suggest we use a separate message for OOC chat to keep things clearly separated.

RPR for finding RP. Discord for the RP itself.

I don’t do well with the fast-paced chat style rp of discord. Not bad for ooc, but I need a solid text box to write in.

I usually do play-by-post on here. Right now, I only have one active game. The others are on hiatus. I do have Discord and have also used Roll20.net . It's been over a year since I've used Roll 20. Mostly I use Discord for chat but would consider using it for the right game. I use Discord for non-gaming stuff, too, and belong to multiple servers. All of my contact info. is available on my profile for interested parties.

I can do either or. I used to use forums a lot more than IRC, but have lately been using Discord for everything. I wouldn't mind finding a group in Discord, but Discord doesn't have robust server-finding the same way this website does.

I actually came here because someone on a TTRPG Discord recommended it for finding FFRP groups, so I suppose that says a lot, heh.

Although I agree with some earlier posts: Discord is better for notification, and I do not mind the pacing of live chat. Having said that, I would only be comfortable on a server using Tupperbot and would probably never/rarely want to take it to PMs for a reason another user has already brought up: Difficulty separating IC and OOC drama.

I think both formats are useful for different things.

wat about zoom?? is tat not an option? like... if ya don't have et, ten u can google it an use it tat way......

There are probably hundreds (thousands??) of options not presented. But RPR and Discord seem to be the 2 most popular options for folks here.

Discord if I could. Nothing much happening here now.

At present, here. RP via RPR means that I can balance it around work.

Discord is what I personally register as a 'live chat', meaning that I spend far more time on it than I'd like trying to keep up with things.

I like to do Discord if I can so you could keep a record of what is written.
