Orb Chat System

The Orb chat system is designed to simplify game organization between players and Game Masters.

Chat Types​

We provide three types of chat spaces:

  • Direct Messages (DMs): Private one-on-one conversations. Ideal for discussing character details or coordinating with a GM.
  • Group Chats (coming soon): Custom groups for general discussions or party coordination.
  • Game Rooms (currently in Beta): Dedicated chat spaces automatically created for specific games.

Game Booking & Context​

The Chat Topics feature simplifies the process of joining and managing games by providing context directly within the conversation.

Automatic Context​

When a player initiates a chat from a game page (e.g., via "Book a Seat"), the chat automatically sets that game as the active Topic.

  • Players: Do not need to manually share link to game they are inquiring about.
  • Game Masters: Instantly see which adventure the message refers to, seats availability and can manage current booking.

Topic History​

If a conversation shifts from one game to another, the Topic can be updated. System messages in the chat history track these changes, allowing users to see exactly when the context of the discussion switched.
