I’m sort of confused about the deferences between journey and discovery threads. Could some help explaining?

Hi Josie,
You can think of a Journey as a series of standalone episodes, while a Discovery is more of an ongoing serial.
In a Journey, when a moderator responds to your thread, they will spawn a semi-randomly determined encounter from a pregenerated list of options. Most likely it will be the appearance of a single wild Pokemon, but it could be a group of Pokemon, finding a common item, or meeting another trainer. You can interact with these characters as you wish before mod calling again. Subsequent encounters have no relation to previous encounters.
In a Discovery, when a moderator responds to your thread, they will describe an event introducing a story scenario. This is more similar to traditional tabletop role-playing, with the mod playing the role of Gamemaster. After your character reacts to the event, subsequent posts will determine how the scenario unfolds based on your choices. Discoveries generally take longer to play out but offer the potential for rewards (like rare items) not typically found on Journeys.
I hope that helps, and feel free to respond if you have any further questions!
