    D&D General Can we talk about best practices?

    D&D 5E (2014) Is 5e's Success Actually Bad for Other Games?

    Discords usually help for that kind of stuff. Depends on how active the community for the game is, of course. Not exactly what you're suggesting, but I feel like it also helps since you can specifically join the chat for a game you want to play (and there are some Discords that advertise...
