I want to roleplay

Start with listed roleplay rooms, check whether the channel is IC or OOC, and ask before entering an active scene.

Read the channel description and topic first.
Use the OOC room for questions and character approval.
Keep first posts simple so other players can respond.

I want to start a channel

Build the basics before listing it: premise, topic, OOC path, rules, staff contact, and first activity hook.

Create the IC room and an OOC room.
Register the channel if it will be a long-term home.
Submit it when new visitors can understand how to join.

I want a persistent account

Persistent webchat keeps your connection online through SorceryNet's hosted Lounge service.

Request an account for lounge.sorcery.net.
Use it when you want backlog and a stable connection.
Use public webchat for quick access without an account.

I want to bring a group

SorceryNet works well for groups that want owned rooms, persistent identities, simple web access, and fewer third party dependencies.

Pick clear IC and OOC channel names.
