Built for roleplay communities
IRC is fast, persistent, scriptable, and open. That makes it a strong fit for freeform scenes, OOC rooms, campaign hubs, game channels, and communities that want control over their own space.
Live story worlds
Use dedicated IC and OOC channels, persistent room topics, and lightweight commands for written scenes.
Community-owned spaces
Channel owners can register rooms, set local rules, list their communities, and build around stable identities.
Open access
New players can join from the browser, while experienced users can connect with any IRC client they prefer.

Submit your roleplay or game channel so new users can find it in the public directory.

Use network services
Register nicknames and channels, manage access, and keep long-running communities organized.
Independent, established, and still here
SorceryNet has been community-run since 1996. The next chapter is about making the network easier to discover, easier to join, and more useful for the people keeping roleplay communities alive.
Since 1996
A long-running IRC network with history, infrastructure, and a reason to rebuild publicly.
Owned infrastructure
The network runs its own servers, IRC daemon, services, and webchat rather than depending on a closed platform.
Grassroots first
Tools should help users find, run, and return to communities without replacing the people at the center.
