Our group of 40+ old farts uses Discord exclusively, because we can do it all under the same roof.
Want to chat about stuff, we've got a few channels just to keep them contained (one for each RPG campaign we're playing and separate ones for the few PC games we have time for).
Need to chat during an online game? Discord has video and voice chat as well as screen sharing.
Want to keep a log of a RPG campaign? You can do a "forum" post about it after every session, it's all there in a nice format under the same platform.
When we play online games, like Helldivers 2, everyone can use Discord for voice even when I play with PS5 and the others are PC players. Discord works cross-platform.
- scruple 2y agoExactly the same experience here in the same demographic. In this friend group, we all have kids and wives and pets and jobs and everything else, but we want to still try to do stuff together. Video games, DnD (though we play PF2E and OSR stuff), we do some book club stuff, we talk about sports and our hobbies, we talk about our kids, our personal and professional lives... We can do text, voice, and video. It's been a great experience for us. We do meet in-person every couple of months for a DnD session but that's typically as often as we can manage with 5 busy schedules to juggle.
