This project began with a small group of friends from GemStone IV who wanted to wander beyond familiar halls and see what other MUDs have to offer. Our goal is simple: step into new worlds together, share the in-character stories of our adventurers, and also pull back the curtain with out-of-character thoughts on what each game does well (or not so well). Think of it as a traveler’s log—part diary, part guidebook—as we explore strange lands, meet new communities, and compare how different MUDs shape the player experience.
