This is our catch-all channel for general community chat. Every server member has access to post and read messages here.
It’s a great place to touch base with others on day-to-day goings on, use the /help slash command to ask for help with something you’re trying learn/troubleshoot, or say hello with an introduction of yourself, optionally including links to online spaces where others can follow you.

#shoutout-a-palooza is a special channel where the attendees for our next upcoming playtesting convention send each other compliments in a knock-down drag-out team competition.
…Okay, it’s not actually violent, but the winning team does enjoy the bragging rights. ;)
Everyone in the server has access to read all the shoutouts our convention attendees post for one another. Many of the shoutouts are about prototypes the poster enjoyed playtesting, so this can be a fun channel for those who missed the convention to follow along and hear about games our designer community may be publishing in the future.
