Getting started
Join the server, accept the rules, pick your roles, and say hello.
Step 1
Join the Discord
The Ponderosa Gaming Discord is the community around Terra Genesis. If you don’t have an invite yet, ask the team or watch ponderosagaming.com for announcements.
When you first arrive, you can only see the Info category: #welcome, #rules, #announcements, and #roadmap. Those channels are read-only for everyone except staff. The rest of the server stays hidden until you accept the rules.
Step 2
Accept the rules
Open #rules and read the list. When you’re ready, click the green I accept the rules button under that post.
Grok then gives you the Member role, which unlocks the Terra Genesis channels and voice. If you click the button again later, you’ll just get a short “you’re already verified” note. The rules themselves are on the Moderation & Rules page.
Step 3
Pick your roles
Head to #get-roles and use the buttons. Click once to add a role, click again to remove it. You have to be a Member first.
🔧 Modder
Make mods and custom content.
📰 Dev Updates
Get pinged when the team posts a dev log.
🎮 Playtest Pings
Get pinged when a playtest is announced.
Founder, Moderator, and Dev Team are assigned by staff, not by these buttons. See Roles & Channels for the full list.
Step 4
Say hi and settle in
The main hangout is #general. News goes in #announcements, and the road ahead is in #roadmap. Share screenshots and clips in #screenshots-and-videos. Use /suggest in the server for ideas and /bug for bug reports — those land in #suggestions and #bug-reports with a thread for discussion.
Voice is in Lounge and, when a session is on, Playtest.
