[quote=@Force and Fury] So, I'm noticing that we've been doing a lot of discord lately and not too much on the forum aside from updates. I'd like to know how people feel about this: should we keep going this route in the future mostly with GM and Co-GM posts, or try to move more things back to the forum? [/quote] In my mind (coming from a person who tends to do forum base mostly), both have their pros and cons. Here’s a few that come immediately to mind and should be considered in order to determine which is best for each case. Discord Pros -great for rolls -fast and immediate fact checking -collabs in a big or small groups Cons -hard to get everyone on the same time zone to be online at the same time -text limitations and only edited by that specific person if needs to be corrected -If multiple scenes in the same mission happen, you’re force to search for what’s your scene specifically and that is tedious Forum Pros -easy record of what happened and searching for the information -more turn base and less restricted by time zones Cons -unless the GM or individual is easy to get a hold of, makes fact checking over any confusion take longer -rolls likely still need to be done on discord regardless. [hr] For me personally, I like a mix of things depending on the scene and the needs for the IC. This includes discord, google docs, and maybe some forum posting. I will note usually when I work on discord with someone, I tend to have a google doc or something that we can write in as we’re playing the scene out. This also makes putting in coding so much easier because we can do as we're writing. I just forgot it last time since each rp can have its own way of doing things. I also find this can work well with individuals of different time zones. Personally, I think leaning more into the forum might be a good idea especially for individuals who have less flexible schedules, but still allow for discord when possible especially for collabs.
