The Wiki Fiction Roleplayers' Guild (or WFR[1] [2]) is an interactive online group formed by independent members of the Elftown community for role-players, gamers, and fiction fans. (The Guild remains committed to...)
The Guild was originally formed to satisfy a need in the Elftown wiki-pages for professional and upstanding RPGs and creative writing activities, but now finds itself hosting relevant content and discussions for artists and creative people of all backgrounds. Decided by Guild Moderators in summer of 2007, the group has begun branching onto such sites as D&D Wiki, Facebook, and locally in the form of WFR Guild Chapters ((Baton Rouge Local Chapter coming in 2008). These changes consist of actions based on the choice to become a public entity, which people could join, regardless of their membership in other communities or online sites.
The goals of the Guild include networking creative and talented gamers and fiction-lovers, as well as providing free information and public forums on appropriate subjects to gaming and campaign-creation of all forms. Through meetings hosted in Local Chapters and recorded via web technologies, the Guild seeks to provide discussions and information on varied topics through the Elftown wiki-page medium, where the Guild officially operates in its central community pages.
Online, the Guild forms an international union of talented members in all genres of fiction gaming and creative writing, and works in connection with RPGA [3] standards and methods. Along with cooperating with other organizations, the WFR Guild seeks to change the way in which players, gamers, and fiction lovers network and discuss relevant topics to the fiction genres. By employing technology and web hosting techniques, the Guild continually renovates the way in which its members work for the greater good of all people's appreciation of the fiction genres and related design branches.
The Guild is currently led by xidoraven [4] (Dec. 2007) as well as its self-motivated volunteer moderators and organizers. xido is a Herald-level Game Moderator of the RPGA [5], and continues to renovate the Guild membership to mirror that of the public organization led by Wizards of the Coast, under the direction of Hasbro. Other Guild Members have also sought RPGA status and membership since recent renovations in methods.
