discord – Moe Lane

Looking for good examples of author/TTRPG Discords.

I’ve enlisted the services of somebody who knows more about Discord than I do, the better to muck about with my Discord channel. Part of his immediate assessment was to have me tell him what I wanted my Discord to do… which is a really good question, isn’t it*? Some back and forth later, we got the basics down (letting people keep track of my books, getting an audience for them, and so forth); now I have to go find some Discord channels that are doing what I’m doing, and point them out to him so that he can do a proper layout**.

So if you have good examples of a Discord channel that seems to do a good job at maintaining and encouraging reader interest, by all means: let me know what it is.

Messing about with my Flying Koala Discord channel.

:sardonically: Quiet morning, huh?

I’m spending part of it working on my Discord channel. And by working on it I mean ‘staring at the blessed thing.’ It feels like it could be useful, but I’m not sure exactly where, or how. Thoughts?

PS: I want it to boost interest in my books, sell my books, and get good leads on local conventions and whatnot. So I want the Flying Koala Discord to be commerce-oriented without being annoying about it. I think this can be done.

Snow Day!

Otherwise known as, Nothing Got Done Day! I mean, I got a nap in, and made sure my kids were caught up on stuff. I also did a Patreon creators-themed Zoom call that was very interesting, although I think I did something funky to my Discord in the meantime*. So not a completely useless day, but not a productive one, either.

Well, I can do some stuff tonight, hopefully. [EDIT: Or I can spend the evening straightening out homework in the face of the kids having tomorrow off, too. Yay.]

*Actually, I did not. Something funky was done to an existing Discord account that had my phone number; said account has been discontinued, making it impossible to use for verification, and the Internet is full of aggravated threads effectively going No, you’re never going to get this fixed, so you might as well get a new phone number or use your spouse’s because Discord doesn’t give a [expletive deleted].

Shackled [Celestial] [In Nomine]

Shackled (Celestial Discord, -3/level)

The Shackled Celestial Discord penalizes celestials (penalty equal to the level of the Discord) for all mundane activities that do not credibly serve their Superior’s Word. This does include Outcasts or Renegades. Shackled does not affect dissonance per se, but the celestial will be very uncomfortable in situations that would normally be Word-dissonant: add -1 to the skill penalty.

Nacreous (Celestial, 3/level) [In Nomine]

Nacreous (Celestial, 3/level)

Demons with Nacreous must be careful about how often they use their resonance on the same target. Every resonance roll after the first one, on the same person, is at a penalty equal to (Discord level); Djinn instead take a penalty on removing their attunement equal to (Discord level). Lilim do not get the penalty for assessing Needs, but if they try to harvest multiple Geas at once, the second and higher Geas will be subject to the penalty. This penalty persists for (Discord level) days: this makes Nacreous a problem for Shedim in particular.
