Lord of the Rings MUD


Not sure how many of you play MUDS, but I've found a great one for Lord of the Rings. The world is basically a map of the real middle earth, pretty cool.

http://www.angband.com/towers/

Map of this world:
http://randkl.com/baradaeglos/ardamap.html

They have some other maps there too, of cities, etc.

It's pretty fun, if you like this sort of thing. I'm a Silvan Elf, name on there is Mikelos.

If you're on, I think you can somehow send me a message, not sure though.

Mike

MUDs are traditionally online, text-based games.

Basically it's a text-driven world, where you are in a room, get a description of the room, and can look at things in it, attack things, pick up things, or move to another room.

You usually move by going in a direction like south, west, up, down, in, out, etc.

They are pretty fun actually.

I'm almost level 4, and once I do that, to get to level 5, I have to get The One Ring from Gollum.

You have too many itens

You drop the pouch on the ground as soon as it hits the lizard emerges from the darkness and runs back into the pouch

pick up broad sword.

You know have a broad sword
....


ED: You see a well-groomed garden. In the middle, on a small hill, you see a gazebo.
ERIC: A gazebo? What color is it?
ED: (Pause) It's white, Eric.
ERIC: How far away is it?
ED: About 50 yards.
ERIC: How big is it?
ED: (Pause) It's about 30 feet across, 15 feet high, with a pointed top.
ERIC: I use my sword to detect whether it's good.
ED: It's not good, Eric. It's a gazebo!
ERIC: (Pause) I call out to it.
ED: It won't answer. It's a gazebo!
ERIC: (Pause) I sheathe my sword and draw my bow and arrows. Does it respond in any way?
ED: No, Eric. It's a gazebo!
ERIC: I shoot it with my bow (rolls to hit). What happened?
ED: There is now a gazebo with an arrow sticking out of it.
ERIC: (Pause) Wasn't it wounded?
ED: Of course not, Eric! It's a gazebo!
ERIC: (Whimper) But that was a plus-three arrow!
ED: It's a gazebo, Eric, a gazebo! If you really want to try to destroy it, you could try to chop it wih an axe, I suppose, or you could try to burn it, but I don't know why anybody would even try. It's a #%$*& gazebo!
ERIC: (Long pause - he has no axe or fire spells) I run away.
ED: (Thoroughly frustrated) It's too late. You've awakened the gazebo, and it catches you and eats you.
ERIC: (Reaching for his dice) Maybe I'll roll up a fire-using mage so I can avenge my paladin...

That was amazing Joel. I've never been into MUDs, but when I was a kid, my parents got me into this text game called Zork. It was a lot of fun at the time. I wound up playing Zork I, II, III, and Beyond Zork way back when I was a kid.

nothing wrong with muds I have been playing them for about 8 years now. Free online gaming. Pretty much what all MMORG are based off of, except in muds you have more freedom and role play.

www.rauvyon.com is a good one if you want a homebrew world
