Introduction
GVLARP has a Discord server which we use for character meetings, Annual General Meetings (AGMs), one-off events, and for a way for the Storytellers to communicate announcements to the game.
You can join the server through this link: https://discord.gg/eHYqzvdtfY
Renfield
We have a custom Discord bot in the server who does some useful things to support the game. Interact with Renfield through Discord’s slash commands.
/link
You can link your Discord account to your website login if you want Renfield to be able to access your character information.
- Run the /link command
- Renfield will give you a URL to click
- The link takes you to the login page for this site – login in using your website credentials (Note: you only get your login credentials when the Storytellers approve your character)
- Renfield will update your server roles and set your nickname
- Now you can use any of the other commands
/signin
Renfield will note your attendance if you enter the command “/signin” in any of the text channels.
This command only works when there is an event currently in progress.
/rollme
Once your account is linked, Renfield can roll Attributes and Abilities from your character sheet.
/rolldice
Use this command to get Renfield to roll some D10s for you.
/speak
You can get Renfield to speak into a voice channel by providing him the name of the channel and what the words to say are. You don’t need to be in the channel mentioned so you can use him to send messages to characters in other channels.
Note that a copy of your text will get output to the channel you typed into. Please use the “renfields-cubby-hole” channel so that people who don’t want to get notifications of the activity in this channel can block it.
/nice
Use this command to get Renfield to say something nice to you.
/whoami
Use this command to get Renfield to tell you which character your Discord is linked to and report some useful information to you, e.g. Humanity
/hello
Use this command to check if the bot is online and responding to commands
(Storytellers only) /list
Use this command to list scheduled events or the attendance at a specific event.
(Storytellers only) /new
Use this command to add a new scheduled event that players will be able to log into.
(Storytellers only) /rollst
Use this command to roll the dice for a character. You can specify which character by entering their character name, website login name, or by mentioning (i.e. @<name>) their Discord nickname.
(Storytellers only) /addnice
Add to the list of “nice” things Renfield will say to people when they sign in to an event. Use “/listnice” to get a list of all the existing options and “/deletenice” to remove one.
