Game Night

Game Night is where you organize an actual group of people to play with: agreeing on a date, deciding what to play, and keeping a history of past sessions. It's separate from the site-wide Forum and Messages.

Creating a group

Click "+ New game night." Give it a name, or leave it blank and it defaults to "Untitled Game Night," then search for and add the people who'll be in it. Adding someone is instant: there's no invite/accept step, so only add people you've actually confirmed with. Click "Create game night" and you're dropped straight into the new group.

Managing members

Inside a group you can add more people any time (again, instant, no acceptance needed) or remove existing ones. You can't remove yourself: if you want out entirely, the group has to be deleted, which any current member can do, with a confirmation prompt.

Agreeing on a date

"Find a date" works like a simple availability poll:

  • Any member can propose a date: doing so marks you as free for it automatically.

  • Everyone else marks themselves "I'm free" or not, per proposed date.

  • Any member can click "Use this date" to confirm it as the plan. There's no single owner who has to sign off.

  • Date options can be removed once they're no longer relevant.

Want to skip the voting? There's a "Schedule & duration" option to set a date, time, location, and duration directly.

Deciding what to play

Once you're organizing a specific session, members can vote (a thumbs-up) on suggested games and add them to "Tonight's lineup." The lineup shows a running duration budget, so you can see how much time your picks add up to.

After the session

Once the confirmed date has passed, use "Log it & start next game night" to archive that session into the group's history and reset the plan for next time.

Open seats (a separate, lighter-weight board)

Open Seats is a simple bulletin board for finding people to play with outside your existing groups, and it's entirely separate from groups:

  • "I've got an open seat": you have room for more players at an upcoming session.

  • "I'm looking for a group": you're hoping to join one.

Either way, you can optionally link it to an existing group, name a specific game, and add a date/time. Other members can mark "I'm interested": but that's just a signal, not a messaging or join mechanism. If someone expresses interest, you'll need to coordinate separately (through Messages, if you already have a conversation going, or however you'd normally get in touch). Posters can mark their own post "Filled" or delete it once it's no longer needed.
