> Is the name an intentional pun on "gilded" (in addition to being a reference to gaming guilds)? Yup. It's a play on the terms "Guild" (gaming guilds) and "Gilded" (to cover with gold). This inspired the gold brand colors/identity. > A quick check shows that "gilded.gg" is unregistered; you might consider picking it up as a redirect, just in case. Thank you for the tip! Just grabbed it. > Do you integrate with Twitch as well? Would be nice to automatically tag guild members with roles in Twitch chat, no matter who is streaming. People could connect their Guilded account to their Twitch account, and check a box like "automatically grant [mod/flair] to [guild members / guild leaders / people designated as global mods by the guild]". Yeah, we have some basic Twitch integration right now. You can connect your Twitch account and it'll show when you're live and import your past streams. That's a great idea, though, and is something that I think is definitely consistent with the product goals. > Is this focused exclusively on games you specifically support integration with, or would it work for other types of gaming-related groups (for instance, tabletop gaming)? One of my goals is to make it feel like you're immersed in your game's atmosphere as soon as you create a team. For that reason, we don't have generic game categories now, only explicitly-supported games. We're working on expanding the game catalog over time.

This is probably too far from your primary mission, then, but I will say that I wish there was a service that did what you do, for tabletop RPGs. Something that makes it easy to organize games, track character sheets and setting documents, provide maps, keep logs of events (including markers on maps), facilitate between-session communication and compartmentalized communication (GM/player), and so on. I haven't seen a service that offers all of those things with good integration.

  I've been bouncing a similar idea with the GM of my (sporadic) tabletop game and would be interested to hear more about what others would want in such a service. Mind if I shoot you an email about this? :)

  It might not be quite what you're looking for, but our group started using Roll20 recently. It has some quirks and is missing some spell data, but it is very customizable and includes online video chat. Think "Google Hangouts meets D&D."

    I've used roll20, but I don't find it very useful for non-virtual roleplaying. I'm looking for something that integrates calendaring, drive, etc; meanwhile, video chat is not particularly valuable.
