I thought discords were what I used to play on the piano? Seriously. Relatively hi-tech AND no human contact? I'm amazed you got 12%.

Well, I do. All the time, but not for tabletop wargames. Boardgames and RPGs. It's a way I can play with friends across the country— including some in Texas and Indiana (I'm in Tennessee). Glad to have it as an option.

Tried it once for an online game I wanted to play. It was not intuitive.

I don't see poll questions, but I certainly use Discord, and Steam, and Tabletop Simulator, and Roll20, because I live about 4000 miles from my gaming friends.

If you're in the North Jersey/NYC area, you might want to checkout the 'Maplewood Nerd Gamers' Discord server, maybe go to the 'welcome-and--intros' forum, and say Hello. Is not so much yor online gaming, as for organizing in-person events, socializing and discussions. Great bunch of people.
