I am interested in creating a game that utilizes Discord servers instead of Roblox groups (if possible) to make use of roles and other things. Is creating a webhook-type module connected to a Discord server possible?
Specific example: I envision a Discord server with roles that represent team membership (basketball teams), and from that server, the Roblox game would receive information such as those roles (team name and color).
Please feel free to ask any questions if anything is unclear.

yes its possible. Good luck pulling it off now.
What tools would I need to accomplish this?
My guess is using HTTP Requests, Discord does offer "Server Tokens" that allow you to run bots on servers, so my guess would be doing research about HTTP requests and how to use them. This is not a solution, this is an idea. Hope it works!
To clarify my Discord idea, Discord uses Webhooks to allow requests from another server/client. Here is a link to a DevForum post that can explain better than I can. https://devforum.roblox.com/t/discord-integration-a-guide-on-using-discord-through-roblox-updated/47090
The link you sent only has PostAsync() examples. I'd obviously be using GetAsync(), but I probably won't get to my end goal with just my own knowledge despite having prior knowledge of HTTP requests.
