**About Us**

________________________________________
[A World of Ice and Fire RP](https://www.reddit.com/r/awoiafrp) is a roleplaying game set in the same fictional world as George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire - the books that were the precursor to the popular HBO series, “Game of Thrones”. The roleplay, while technically utilizing the same setting, is meant to be considered an alternate universe as the timeline of events in our lore may diverge from events outlined in the ASoIaF series.

We strive to encourage players to create their own adventures in a cooperative writing atmosphere that values quality over quantity. Please be aware that plans can and will change over the course of the roleplay; predetermined outcomes are not possible. While we have limited mechanics in place to ensure fairness for all parties, the story’s direction is the players’ choice, and a host of exciting characters and a supportive moderation team works together to create intriguing and fun scenarios.

We highly recommend joining our chat channel on Slack. It's basically a chat service that's completely free, similar to IRC. You can access it through your computer browser as well as through a phone app. There we have a friendly general chat, as well as chatrooms specifically for each region. It also has a private messaging system, so you can chat with moderators and any player you want. While this is completely optional, we highly recommend players (especially those who play principal bannermen and important roles) to sign up.

To join, simply [message the moderators](https://www.reddit.com/message...e?to=%2Fr%2Fawoiafrp) with an e-mail address. This e-mail can be a throwaway one if you don't want to give out your real e-mail address; however, you need to be able to access it, because we'll be sending you the invitation link that way. You can also change your e-mail address once signed into Slack if you want to later.
