hello and welcome to spirit of the dice
today I'm going to be showing you how to
set up your own Dungeons & Dragons
discord server if this is necessarily a
step-by-step guide this just shows you
the essentials you need for your discord
server to function and to be fun to play
it the first thing you're going to do is
scroll down to the bottom of your
discord list if you're new to discord
this will probably be empty and click
the plus and then click on create new
server give it a name and maybe give it
a little goofy profile pic thingy and
then you're ready to start the first
thing you're gonna want to do is try to
few categories you go up there by
clicking to the top and clicking on
create category well the way I have it
set up on mine is I have game room 1 and
game room 2 these are two separate areas
where two different groups can be
playing Dungeons & Dragons and not have
to worry about talking over each other
because they're in completely different
parts you're then gonna want to create a
voice and a text chat for each so that
each of them can roll dice talk over
either voice or through text without
bothering the other group and without
getting lost in the list because they
are in completely different categories
the next thing you'll want to do is add
the bots called sidekick this is the
only bot that is absolutely necessary in
my opinion it's a dice rolling bot you
just go to the website put it in below
and it'll join your discord server you
have to do a reCAPTCHA test in order to
put it on but once it's on you can roll
dice with it you can do pretty much
anything with it there's a few commands
that aren't really that useful I feel
like you can deal cards but I've never
had to do anything like that so far I
might have to later but the command is
pretty simple it's /r to roll then you
put the first number being how many dice
you want to roll for example like 1 the
next thing you need to put is d4 dice
and then D 20 or d4 or D 45 whatever
number follows the D is the number of
sides the dice
then you can put Plus for a bonus for
example like plus five and then put a
hashtag in front of it and type
something else like spirit casts a spell
and that'll be the action that would be
like the quote and then you just click
enter and it should do it correctly the
next finger on do is probably for
posterity add meeseeks and rhythm they
aren't completely necessary for the
server to function but they are good to
have around rhythm can play music and
you can turn the music up or down and
you can edit the playlists you can just
loop one long track over and over again
and it'll it'll just play music in the
background which can be good for
atmosphere of the game and me six is a
bunch of technical tools for your server
stuff like greeting new entries into the
server saying bye to people that are
believing they can has a lot of
moderation tools that can make it really
easy for moderators to keep everything
in control especially if you have a
large discord server with not very many
mods and people are trolling you can set
up key words like the n-word or other
racial slurs or like homophobic slurs or
really anything that you don't want
people spamming they can give them a
warning they can kick them they can do
pretty much whatever a mod would be able
to do if he was there time to set up
roads you really only need three roles
of course meeseeks and rhythm assign
themselves roles automatically upon
joining I usually give them a color so
they stand out a bit better
obviously rhythm is red and e6 is green
I mean that blue and really all you need
is three roles admin mod and user you
just can scroll through the permissions
list assign whatever you feel
comfortable with assigning to mods or
users of course give admin admin powers
that's the raw you didn't want to assign
yourself the Ray you assign roles is by
going to the member list
and clicking on the little plus sign
underneath the thing that's how you add
rolls anyway guys that's where I'm gonna
leave it for today the reason this video
is called how to make a discord server
in 10 minutes or less is because the raw
footage of the I recorded of this video
of the whole process is 11.8 minutes and
the audio is about seven and a half
minutes long which is still under ten
minutes so I guess it counts and yeah
good luck to all of you who are going to
be creating their discord servers to
play in the digital realm I definitely
think this cord is the best way to do it
anyway I've been spirit of the dice and
I will see you later adventurers
