Guide
A Discord alternative for your D&D party?
Discord is great for hanging out, but it wasn’t built to book sessions, count RSVPs or keep campaign books in order. Most groups don’t need to leave Discord; they need a home for the table’s decisions. Guildrest handles that part and posts its notices into your Discord channel.
What goes wrong when D&D lives in Discord?
The date gets buried in channels, the poll scrolls away, nobody knows the final headcount and the rulebook PDF hides in a thread. None of that is Discord’s fault: it was built for conversation, and a party needs decisions.
What changes with Guildrest?
Conversation stays where your group likes it. Session calls, quorum, calendar, notices and books move to the tavern, and every notice lands in your Discord channel with a link back.
Side by side, what does each do?
| What the table needs | Discord server | Guildrest |
|---|---|---|
| Booking the next session | A message, poll or scheduled event that scrolls with the chat. | A call pinned to the Board, or a poll with up to 20 time slots. |
| Knowing if the game is on | Events show who’s interested; someone decides if it’s enough. | Quorum counts itself and the session flips to confirmed. |
| Reminders | Scheduled events remind those marked “Interested” when they start; nothing targets only those who haven’t answered. | Sent automatically, only to people who haven’t answered. |
| Calendar | No built-in Google Calendar sync; bots can add it. | A Google Calendar invite that updates itself, plus .ics files. |
| Voice and video | Voice, video and screen share. | The Table: voice, video, screen, sheets and dice, never recorded. |
| Price | Free (Nitro optional). | From $4.49 a month for the whole table. |
