Playing with friends
- Schedule Friday's session: everyone is notified, and you see who's in
- Need a fifth? The LFG Network can fill the last slot
Scheduled groups · Any game · Free
Schedule game night. Fill the empty seats.
Set a time up to a week ahead. Members are notified and join in advance, and the voice channel comes with the group. Still short? Open the last slots to the LFG Network.
How it works
- 01
Pick the game and a time.
- 02
Members get notified and join ahead.
- 03
At start time the group and its voice channel are ready.
Why scheduled groups fill better
A right-now group needs the right player online in the same ten minutes. A group set for Friday can reach everyone who is around before then.
What event bots can't do
Event bots can only invite the server they're in. LFG Hub can open the last slots to relevant players on 143 connected servers. They join your server to play.
The LFG Network is optional, and on by default in quick setup. The organiser can keep any group to the server, and nothing from other servers is posted in your channels.
For friends and for communities
Running a community
- Connect to the LFG Network to fill groups and gain members
What it doesn't do
No recurring series yet. No calendar sync. If you need those, keep your event bot for them and use LFG Hub for game sessions.
FAQ
Scheduling, answered
- How do I organise a game night on Discord?
- Pick the game and a time with /lfg, members get notified and join in advance, and the voice channel is ready at start time. If seats are still empty, open them to the LFG Network.
- How do I find players for a scheduled game when my server is short?
- Open the group's remaining slots to the LFG Network. Relevant players on other connected servers get a DM and join your server to play. Event bots can only invite the server they're in.
- Do I still need Apollo, Sesh, Raid-Helper or Raid Organizer?
- For game sessions and raids, no. Set a time up to a week ahead and how many of each role you need, such as 1 tank, 1 healer and 3 DPS. Members get notified and sign up for a role in advance; when a role is full they join its waitlist, and the next one is moved in when a seat opens. The voice channel comes with the group, and open slots can be filled from the LFG Network, which event bots can't do. For recurring events or calendar sync, keep your event bot.
- How far ahead can I schedule?
- Up to a week.
- Does everyone see the time in their own time zone?
- Yes.
- Do members get a reminder?
- Yes, before the start.
- Can I keep a session to my own server?
- Yes. The organiser decides per group whether it opens to the LFG Network.
- Does it work for things other than games?
- Yes. Use Just Chatting or your own activity, such as a movie night.
