ABOUT THE MUD AND HOW TO GET DIRTY
As
all will know, the Discworld is a flat planet- like a geological pizza, but
without the anchovies. It offers sights far more impressive than those found
in univeres built by Creators with less imagination but more mechanical aptitude.
It exists right on the edge of Reality ; the least little things can break through
from the other side. It is allowed to exist either because of some possible
blip on the curve of probability, or because the Gods enjoy a joke as much as
any one else. More than most people in fact.
People have
made many attempts at creating a accurate Discworld but none have ever come
close to the inventiveness of our minds. We can read about our heroes journey
around the disc and we all have our own picture of what each character looks
like in our heads. When it is said that Sergeant Detritus is a big troll, some
people imagine him to be fat and grey, infact like a huge boulder..... where
as some see him as a finally polished granite Centurion type. In the books and
by words we are free to let our minds carry us away and dream a little.
When playing a game you generally see the character and to me it takes the fun
out of it a bit.
So some
bright sparks with too much time on their hands, have come up with The
Discworld MUD Role Play Game.
In this land you can see what you want to see and wander about the Disc meeting
the likes of Granny Weatherwax and her cronies, Cohen the Barbarian and his
hords of warriors, hundreds of thieves, assassins, priests, wizards and of course
the one and only DEATH (try
not to meet him to often).
If it takes your fancy you can join one of the Guilds.
