Plan a session

Propose a few dates, your players answer Yes, Maybe or No, and you keep the one that works. Eight people, eight slots: enough for a table, few enough that everyone reads before answering.

Create a poll

The availability poll in brief

Plan a session is an availability poll built for a tabletop RPG group: you propose a few dates, everyone you invite answers Yes, Maybe or No, and the date that gathers the most people comes out on its own. Filling the form takes no account. Sending one does, because that is what lets you find your poll again, nudge the people still missing and settle on a date.

How it works

  1. 1

    A grid that is already filled in

    You enter your players' addresses and the grid opens with their rows, empty. An empty row carrying your name calls for an answer far more strongly than an anonymous form, and the poll knows exactly who it is waiting for.

  2. 2

    Three answers, not two

    Yes, Maybe, No. Maybe is what unblocks a table: a binary poll always ends with no workable date at all.

  3. 3

    A living board on Discord

    The message posted at creation updates on every answer: who answered, who is missing, the leading day. Editing a message notifies nobody, so the channel stays quiet.

What the poll settles for you

Why eight people and eight slots

Beyond six or eight options, voters stop reading and answer Maybe everywhere. The limit improves answer quality, not just layout: it is also what makes it possible to require a complete row before sending, and what makes the whole grid fit in one Discord message.

One zone per poll

Times are shown in the poll's zone, for everyone, and the zone is written next to every time. A Paris / Montreal table therefore sees the same time and knows which one: explicit rather than silently wrong.

Email is only a key

Nothing is ever sent to the addresses you enter. They serve to recognize an account, once: as soon as the person opens the poll, the address is wiped from the row. The whole poll disappears six months after the session.

So when does your table play?

Put your dates up, let your table answer, and keep the one that works.
