Whispers

A whisper is a side message inside a channel that only one named recipient can see. Useful for play-by-post — a GM telling one player what their character notices that the others don’t.

Whisper to a player

/w @aerin You feel watched.
/w @brom The merchant slipped you a note.

The composer’s /w command takes @username and the message body. The recipient sees it inline in the channel feed; no other player does.

If you @-tab to someone who isn’t a member of the channel, you’ll get a friendly error and the message won’t post.

What players see

The recipient sees a regular bubble with a small “whispered to you” indicator. It posts inline in the same channel feed where they were already reading — no jumping to a separate screen.

When to whisper vs DM

Whisper — keeps the side info anchored in the play context. Other GMs in the channel still see whispers (because they have Manage messages).
DM — for entirely off-table conversation between two specific people.
