    Is the use of the FG Discord server negotiable? I'm interested in running something but having just got an excellent set-up sorted for playing Syrinscape through Discord with no player effort involved, I'd quite like to use it for running games for the Con. That would mean using my Discord server instead. (Or I guess adding my Syrinscape bot to the FG server, or a general Syrinscape bot accessible by GM's, but those sound like security nightmares in the making).

    Would it be acceptable to run the game on my own Discord server?

    Sorry, all games that use audio must use the FG Discord server. We don't make exceptions, because as soon as we make one then others will want to use something else. We keep everything on the FG Discord server so that there's no confusion where all players need to go.

    Thanks for the quick response, completely understand the reasons. Would it be acceptable to have a "dummy player" join the session via the FG Discord server to pipe Syrinscape audio through instead? I have a second Discord account specifically for that, I'd just need to add it to the FG server I guess.

    Absolutely. A few of us do that.

    You'd have to ask SmiteWorks about that, as it's their Discord server.

    Does Syrinscape show up in discord as bot so it can be muted by players? I know nothing about it. But if its designed to put sound in they don't want with no way to mute it - then that would be a bad thing.

    Syrinscape and other sound sources don't show up at all, which is the challenge and thus the discussion of the workaround. Typically you can run a second instance of Discord or use a bot (which I doubt will be possible using the official FantasyGrounds Discord Server, upon second thought). You could also use independent sound streaming outside of Discord (such as Cleanfeed and OBSNinja) as described by Gwydion.

    In all cases, there are/should be ways for individual volume control by players.

    I made a submission to run a game. About how long is it taking to approve them?
