A long time ago, on an internet far far … ummm yeah… Remember MUDs, MUSH, MOOs and all those lovely text based environments? They’re still there. I was an active player of DragonRealms for many years, but I got away from playing and forgot about it in the fog of 3D graphic environments that suck your life away into the void. The kid has gone on a Terry Pratchet reading binge as of late, mainly because the husband and I have been throwing the books at him for long enough that he’s tired of being bruised and gave in. This has led to a lot of giggling, snickering and general silliness in conversations around the house, which in turn led us to talking about a MUD based on Discworld that we both remembered.
I had never played it, but I knew it was there, and the kid took it upon himself to not only find it but to start playing, and that led to me creating a character as well, because, honestly, how can you not want to be a witch and squint scathingly at people and watch them wince in pain. It’s been a fun distraction for all the serious stuff going on around here with the upcoming surgery. If you want a unique way to kill a few hours, by all means, go have a look.
