Hey folks! We are pleased to announce that we are ready to launch the official RQ Discord server - all folk are welcome on this new community hub to hang out with each other to talk all things Rusty Quill or whatever . Plus, members of the crew will drop by from time to time as well. ADDENDUM: For the most part, we're envisaging most conversation will take place in text channels, with voice channels for meetups, games, streaming & similar. Individual ep threads & such will remain best handled here and on the sub-reddit. We're not abandoning the forums, but we feel that as we grow (and as seen with other content creators), Discord offers an additional great means of community building, and allows a better degree of contact between crew & fans, particularly if we want to do more things like streaming, further down the line. The new server goes live on Sunday 10th June, at 3pm BST - coinciding neatly with the 3rd birthday of the Rusty Quill Gaming Podcast (and my birthday but that's a coincidence ). Link to be posted here and on social media, just before go live! Hope to see some of you there!

If I want to use Discord, do I need to do anything before Sunday? Install an app, I guess? Register an account?

You can download the desktop app here: discordapp.com/ and there is one for mobile devices too. You will need to register an account I believe, or you can link it to your Twitch account, if you have one of those already.

Hmmm, this may become my new place to hide and listen in on people while I spend those hours editing photos until my fingers fall off. :-) Happy birthday to RQ and one awesome forums overlord.

I, personally, amd likely to still be more active here than on discord, as it's easier to pop in and out here. But I'll be around on discord occasionally.

I will definitly be more active here, talking to people is definitly not may strongest suit, especially if I do not know them personally. It took me nearly a year before I actually talked to my new colleague at work.

I find it much easier to talk on discord. I feel like I have to make every message be worthwhile on here, but its much easier to talk on discord.
See I can talk to people easily enough, I will just agonise about what ive said for the next few years if its awkward enough. I still remember what I said to one person 6 years ago now, because it was embarrassing.

This is exactly what im talking about, i used 'much easier to talk on discord' twice, and now im gonna be thinking about that before falling asleep every night for at least a week!

Thanks for setting up the Discord server and happy anniversary and birthday!
I'll probably lurk at first, but it's still fun listening to other folks chat.
Also, you're not alone regarding posting lego. Can't tell you how much time I've wasted composing forum posts before ultimately discarding them as not worthwhile enough to share. Fortunately the community here and on the Magnus sub-reddit is super awesome, so that makes things easier.

When I write, firstly I habe no direct reply and secondly I can take my time thinking about what I want to write and how. And when talking I have to be far quicker. And in english it is even harder for me since it is not my mothertongue. So maybe I will listen im, but not be talking, maybe. If it does not feel to akward for me.

To be honest, I also prefer typing more than talking, because as you say, I can think about what I'm writing more easily. I feel that Discord allows for conversations more easily, and also it alerts you to new messages, which is quite nice

The real dream is to be talking on one channel, typing in another and working at the same time!

Is someone good at Discord able to help please? I have linked my Patreon account but I can't see the #earlyaccess channel. Do I need to do something else as well?
