Even for tabletop games (sometimes disconcertingly called pen and paper
games), the standard D&D stats don't always work out unless you've got a gm
who is willing to play with the rules a little and ignore some of the
excesses of the system, rather than just play by numbers, indeed if your
going to play by numbers here isn't a point having a human gm at all, sinse
the point of a human is the actual role playing as much as the playing at
rolling dice :D.
All the best,
Dark.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] AD and D muds?
AD&D is a really bad game design for something like a mud. It works
when you use it at the glacial pace of a pen and paper setting, but it
only works well if you have a good DM to go with it. In a high speed,
real time scenario under computer control, the rules just aren't going
to work well.
I know there are a few games that claim to use D&D rules, but it's
invariably with a ton of tweaks to make the game playable.

Keith,
I’m afraid I don’t know of any games specifically which follow AD&D
rules. A lot of them might have similar attributes, skills or whatever,
but most probably simplify things. There are a few games set in D&D
settings—I think I remember something about the Forgotten Realms, but I’m
not sure.
Maybe someone else will have more info.
Best,
Zack.

Hi, was wondering if anyone knows of some muds that follow the dungeons
and dragons rules? I have played Toril and shadowgate, but toril is
more of a get to the top level and then find better equipment to augment
your character ( which I find kind of lame) and shadowgate is kind of a
pain due to the fact that when you leave the game, you either have to go
to an inn and pay to have your equipment stored in a vault in the inn,
and and when you get higher more powerful pieces of equipment, you pay
increadibly high fees, or if you just end the game without being in an
inn, you lose all your equipment you have gathered.
Yes, I do play alter aeon, but after a while, I need a break from that
one and want to try out another.
Thanks
Keith
PS I am looking for muds I can play on my computer, not a smart phone
