game night planning, mostly for locals, how do I do the thing? 

I'm thinking of setting up a weekly(?) board game night, and despite there being tons of tools to do the thing, I have no idea which way to do so.

Do people prefer Telegram groups for this kind of thing? Discord servers? Open-ended invitations via Masto or other social media? Trello? Google Calendar? Messages transmitted in rot13-encrypted Morse code from a number station?

I am not sure how to do the thing, but I'm picking at setting something up on TTS and our Copious Gaming Table™ here at home, should locals (and friends of locals) be interested.

When I have enough spoons to set this up, I think I’m going to use a Discord server or Telegram group. I’m leaning towards the former, because it facilitates voice chat better (for TTS) and doesn’t do worrisome things with phone numbers. On the other hand, Telegram is better for notifications, I think?

I think I’m looking into how to bridge these two together later, if I can’t settle on just one.
