RetroMUD

---

RetroMUD is a text-based M.ulti-U.ser D.ungeon in which you take on the role of a Gifted One. Gifted Ones are trapped in a universe known as the Retroverse, which consists of six massive worlds. An endless war between the Immortals and the Gods rage as the Immortals seek to keep reality together by sealing the Rift, and the Gods seek to escape the Retroverse prison by collecting souls. Traversing these six worlds, battling with magic and steel, Gifted Ones use their unique powers to forge their own futures, and claim allegiance to either side or to themselves alone.

• Argoi Barrow (Crypt)
  This idea was inspired by Spelljammer and I, Tyrant. It didn't quite come out the way I had hoped.
• Drow Caves (Crypt)
  This is my rework of a very old area, with dark elves and spiders and driders in it. Pretty standard stuff. I added the quest for the princess and spiffed up the queen.
• Fiery Hall (Sosel)
  The domain of fire titans, where things are very bright, and very hot.
• Gnomevale (Crypt)
  Sort of Escape from New York meets the Tinker Gnomes from Krynn. Clockwork dragons, clockwork sharks, and autognomes!
• Ironridge (Wysoom)
  Ironridge, home of musketeers and swashbucklers. It's not really fleshed out very well, but it's meant to be a stronghold of sorts.
• Jreast (Welstar)
  Another one of my massive efforts that was only partially successful, this is an entire castle filled with dwarves. I also added the older Raklish Mines area and revamped Raklish. The dwarves carry gems and thundersticks, they work together in groups, they have mounts, a bar, and all kinds of fun dwarfy-stuff. Even better is the random dwarf name generator, which ensures PCs meet a new dwarf every time!
• Keystone City (Welstar)
  My first effort at a city. Keystone City's still a bit of a mess, but it does have a lot of charisma. Each quarter has its own flavor. One day I intend to flesh it out in much more detail.
• Kobold Caves (Crypt)
  My first area! It's still a bit of a mess.
• Mictlatepec (Sosel)
  The City of the Dead, filled with all kinds of horrible Aztec-like monstrosities. Inspired by Akuji the Heartless.
• Okal's Chainweb (Perdow)
  Also inspired by Akuji the Heartless this is a dragon-spider thing that creates undead, demonic chain-type guys. It spins chains rather than webs, and it all hangs over a volcano.
• Queequeg's Lair (Crypt)
  My proudest achievement, Queequeg the massive wandering killer worm. I coded him immediately after viewing the movie, The Relic. I tried to reproduce the paranoia of being in dark, water-filled corridors with large slithery things all around you. The other stand-out part of this area is my favorite weapon, Hemophage, a talking, blood-drinking sword with an attitude.
• Taroudant (Raji)
  Inspired by Kobolds Ate My Baby, this town is where the Darkfey guild resides. It's also conveniently filled with tasty babies to eat. Yum!
