Does anyone else remember when /wbg/ had a Discord link in the OP post? What happened to that? And does anyone here know of any good Discord servers they can invite others to, be they worldbuilding ones or for other /tg/ topics or games/looking for players for said game/systems? If so, please link them here, or at least discuss how you’ve used it in the past.

There's game design cord, I suppose, which would get posted here a lot, though it's kind of its own thing at this point.

Sure, as soon as I see some indication you're not a shithead that will make the place worse.

And post the link here? No, sorry. Public Discords are already hazardous, posting links to any Discord on here is a surefire way of killing the place. Unironically you might have better luck on various forums or even (sorry) Plebbit

Discord feels like the next step in isolation.
Forums (open) -> Forum (private but restrained by sever costs) -> Reddit (public and judgemental by design) -> Subreddit (all focused or interesting discussion goes here to wither) -> Discord (private and you cannot find them from a main directory)

I was in a few of these servers over 3 years ago and everyone active was just needlessly autistic, hostile, and cliquey. IDK if they've changed since then, but I doubt it.

They successfully built a world and collectively travelled there via ritualistic self sacrifice using an agreed upon method and time.
I was going to join but I had to take a shit at the agreed upon time and missed my chance.

The method was hanging. They did it nude with porn running on a loop nearby so their loved ones would assume it was autoerotic asphyxiation that went south.

Unfortunately they were the last of the guard that got "shit done" and /tg/ has been shit ever since.

Discords for TTRPGs can be time sinks. Discussing world building or design with strangers who aren't familiar with your project is another way to spend time without actually working on your project. The same is true for people who circle jerk here instead of working on their campaign or game.
>b-b-b-but I learned
There are books for worldbuilding and game design which are higher quality than some random bozo's navel gazing

That being said, discord is great for people who are coordinating or playing games, especially games that aren't cooperative. A D&D player can function just fine without tips and tricks (and often times players become unbearable after too much internet), but pvp games like Magic or Warhammer it can be a great boon to talk with experienced players about how to spend your 60 cards or 1500 points.

Fuck Discord and fuck Reddit for gobbling up forums though. Discord being a walled garden and Reddit being an everything-in-one-forum has caused forum culture to take a massive hit.

every discord has 2 or 3 cunts that think they're the main character
and spend all day and night fighting with each other until everyone stops posting or leaves
it's no better than /vg/ or other generals (and obviously there's massive cross-over)
doesn't help that mods always side with the popular shitposters, they all deserve their fates

You're not wrong, it sucks because a community that doesn't get new blood will be consumed by entropy but that's what everyone has decided to do.

It's not a job, you're supposed to do it because it's fun. And it's fun to talk about something you're excited about.

Probably something like "delete /pol/ and reintegrate /qst/ back into /tg/," i.e. get rid of things with negative spillovers and encourage things with positive spillovers.

However, this relies on the admins, who obviously won't do this, so this zombie board will continuously get worse and worse as the /pol/tards shit up every thread.

Unironically, deleting /pol/. The way it's coupled the site's reputation to a specific brand of rw schizo retards that don't engage in hobbies and bleed in their nohobby into the hobby boards has been to the detriment of the broader site culture.

>reintegrate /qst/ back into /tg/,"
Can you stop pretending that /qst/ had any sort of impact on /tg/. You've been proven wrong for nearly a decade now, it's time to let go.

For fuck's sake, half the troll argument for why /qst/ needed to be made was that quests were too big for this board, and that rapidly proved to be untrue, because quests are not even big enough for their own board. The only thing /qst/ did was set a precedent for trolls, where if they complained about something loudly enough, they'd get what they wanted.

There's no way to fix that, the damage from that has already been done, and bringing quests back on /tg/ definitely won't.

Quests had positive spillovers because the sort of people who run quests are creative types; creative types are necessary for /tg/ to be good, because otherwise it's just shitheads arguing. While QMs are hardly the only creative type that /tg/ has gradually excised due to its increasingly-awful board culture, they're a very obvious example of it.

Quests were very lively when they were on /tg/ (or /a/, or /d/, or other high-traffic boards), because high-traffic boards have people incidentally interacting with quests, getting interested in them, etc. They're dead for the same reason that your viewcount craters when your show goes from YouTube to Nebula.

Creative people who wanted to post on /tg/ did not need quests in order to do so.

Things can encourage behavior without being strictly required. I don't know why people make this sort of idiotic argument.

you have realized the ultimate intention of the unifying powers behind post modern internet, to isolate and destroy. Don't forget apps that destroy attention span and reading comprehension so there's no way back.
I could write a netrunner or heretic game on simply trying to communicate with other members and have an unlimited wealth of inspiration from the discord of today.

The only impact it had was categorizing not /qst/ threads into /qst/ as victims of association and the all subsequently died horrid deaths at the hands of /tg/ janny and the knob globber /qst/ regulars that shit up ever cross board thread in a crusade against fun and individual thinking, so used to the dry wastelands of /lit/ /vg/ and /co/ brand /qst/ threads that it cased everyone to get cancer and fuck off 4chan altogether with the rise of alternatives promising brighter pastures that died off immediately too.
What /tg/ used to have was a healthy active mix of single author storytime like PapaNurgle used to do, adventure choose your owns with collective rolling, and actual honest to god quest cancer that everyone was glad to be rid of but it came at the cost of everything else too because janny has always been a massive lazy shit wheeling bundle of sticks.
