    Whats the draw of discord?

    Chat plus streaming as a freemium service that has its hooks in with the networking effect.

    Probably the biggest draw of Discord is how many people use Discord. But past that, it fills a bunch of real time social media roles well.

    As a case in point, I’m in a game of Pathfinder Kingmaker with friends, and Discord does a good job of letting players join virtually, sharing screens, rolling dice, keeping a log of the different chats, pinning the links to the Kingdom management files, and providing a search function to find historical info.
