Welcome to Reference II, one of two ORPGSoc Society Games for Summer 2026, the other being New Game Plus . The full schedule for Reference II can be found here.

Reference II is set in the library of the Alusia Foundation, who are hosting a public exhibition of their newly-developed Bookworm technology, which allows for fully immersive interactions with stories. Player characters are members of the public who are getting to use this technology for the first time, thanks to winning tickets to the exhibition.

If you are new to Society Games, or to roleplaying in general, Intro to the Wiki System, Uptimes and Sessions and Downtimes and Turnsheets may be useful reads.

If you are new to online games, make sure to check out Intro to Discord Games.

To get an idea of the game's tone and central themes, see Style and Tone. Some sensitive themes are expected to occur within Reference II, while others are not permitted to occur at all. To play in Reference II, you must have read our Conduct and Acceptable Themes Policy.
