WorldForger is designed for anyone who wants to create or join online roleplay communities. This includes GM/DMs running games, community administrators, writers who enjoy collaborative fiction, tabletop enthusiasts moving online, and players looking for organized roleplay experiences. Whether you're running a small friend group or a large public community, WorldForger scales to your needs.

Premium tiers (Pro and Enterprise) unlock advanced features like custom domains, priority support, larger storage, and additional customization options.

Discord is a general chat platform that roleplayers have adapted for their needs, but it wasn't designed for RP. WorldForger is purpose-built for roleplay communities with native support for character sheets, persistent forums, IC/OOC separation, virtual economies, quest systems, and organized storytelling tools. No bots to configure, no workarounds needed.

You can share your community's unique link directly, or use the built-in invitation system to send email invites. You control whether your community is open (anyone can join), requires approval, or is invite-only. Member management tools let you set roles, permissions, and access levels.

You can create custom currencies with your own names (gold, credits, gems, etc.). Players earn currency through activities, quest completion, or purchases. They spend it in your shops on items that go into their inventory. You control pricing, stock, item effects, and how currency flows through your community.

Quests are structured activities or story arcs that players can participate in. They can have objectives, time limits, difficulty levels, and rewards. GMs use quests to organize storylines, while players track their progress and earn rewards upon completion. Perfect for both casual activities and epic campaigns.
