Have you ever tried to use Discord to run online tabletop?
I wanna give it a shot because
>Private servers
>Separate Text and Voice channels that can be browsed at the same time
>Multiple channels that could be used for in-game and OOC
>Channel nicknames that can be changed into character names
>Roles and role management for various uses like straight up GM-PLAYER or classes per role
>The ability to bring, create or customize diceroller bots with various functions for specific games
The only thing it's really lacking is videochat and/or screen sharing for maps and other shit, but it honestly sounds pretty good
Alternatively, what do you use for online games other than roll20?

Currently running Talislanta 4e vua Discord because roll20 decided to go ahead and be a little bitch when thr firs session was scheduled. It's pretty gud. It holds character sheets, allows for sorting the party into channles however you like, all that. It has two failings, namely no screen sharing and shitty dice, but both are workable. Though I think we may be switching to ye olde maptoolse soon.

I tend to lurk here and got a couple really neat games going.
Prefer it over IRC for text and Skype for voice, most bots are kind of shit at rolls and there is no VTT.

Maptools is pretty alright. There is a BR toll called Firecast that is better thouhg.

We use discord for voice chat and roll20 to do the rolls. It just works.
I used to use Skype for voice chat + Roll20 for VTT, then used Google Hangouts, and now I use Discord because its voice and text features are just... better.
Screen sharing will come soon enough, probably in the next few months with how their updates ago. Before Roll20 I did do tabletops over Skype, but grid-based stuff was a pain in the ass because Skype's video chat was and is still ass. Hopefully Discord has a good implementation.

I do this, too.
Because of technical troubles I have to use Discord for my party. Not bad, but I really don't see myself using it for anything else.

This, plus a discord bot that I run on my server for rolls in case we don't want to run off to roll20.
We also use discord for video games, and it works well, but only when it's not being DDoS'd.

Played in it once, It works pretty good, but DM decided to drop the game by removing the server without so much as a goodbye or warning.
