Legend of the Green Dragon, a clever and fun web-based RPG/fantasy game with a WAY rich environment with lots to explore. I just installed it on a server I admin. Come join me at http://ray-solutions.com/lotgd !

(I stuck this in nonsense because it seemed to be the right place. I'm putting this up to burn my own bandwidth on just because I enjoy the game, so it's not exactly a site plug...)

alpha phi

it is a fun game
thanks
I used insult and now
Cunning Sapling feels dejected and cannot attack

It's pretty damn clever, isn't it?

Astrocloud

It takes too long to reset the turns but other than that: it is a fun diversion.

flamingdog

Must admit, I'm having trouble picturing it.

flamingdog

Did you create this, Rat?

ratbastid

Lord, no. It was originally an old BBS door game called Legend of the Red Dragon, or LORD. A team of PHP coders re-invented it as a web-based game. I've done some hacking on their core code to make things work right on my server, but that's about all I've done behind-the-scenes.

flamingdog

Ah fair enough. I'm enjoying it

Mantus

Onoz you can't grind...bah I am out of turns in 10 min


Still fun though, see ya all tomorrow

Did you guys notice the names of the moons?

Among us geeks, that's what passes for a Grand Romantic Gesture.

grumpyolddude

Yep, I noted those names. Nice touch. !

Gee, can you guess my character's name?

Not one of them was named after me. Oh well I am named after stardust not moons...

Mantus

This game doesn't have enough turns/day...

flamingdog

I just left the starting island... it's amazing how much the game opens up! Keep playing, folks.

alpha phi

That's probably a good thing
Knowing me.....
I'd play it for several days straight
forgetting things like:
sleep, food

It's meant to be interesting (read: addictive) over the long haul, not just a short-term fix that you get sick of. The "core" server, the main official game server for the project only has two turns a day. My server has four (starting on the 12's and 6's, GMT). If you log in frequently enough, there's almost always gameplay available.

flamingdog

Have you thought about including submitted content, perhaps? New enemies and locations and such? Or would it go against the licence?

MichaelFarker

Yeah, I've got to agree. This seems like a seriously addictive game.

I have been laughing out loud, which is about the highest compliment I can think of. It seems polished and well thought out. Playing it has been a refreshing change. Thank you Ratbastid.

You probably already thought of this, but a post about this game in the games forum might be appropriate.

ratbastid

There are TONS of 3rd party modules for this thing. I've installed a few (Dycedarg's Academy and the Dwellings Module, to name a couple). Managing for game balance is quite an issue with this thing--make it too easy and it gets boring after a while. Keeping it challenging takes some judicious module selection.

The game was released under a Creative Commons share-alike license, so add-ons are fair game.

micah67

Enjoying it so far, thanks!

Would you mind if I shared this with a couple of my friends outside these boards, Rat? I don't want to add to your bandwidth bills or anything, but I think I know some people who might dig it.

ratbastid

Naw, the more the merrier.

cj2112

thanks for hosting this, I'm enjoying it.

Mr Scorcex

Thanks Ratbastid, this is kind of reminicient of the Kingdom of Loathing, except I'm not sick of it. P.S., I'm Cabronito in game.

Mantus

I tried to slay Mal but she kicked my but

vermin

Good game, interesting enemies.

Thank you for adding another simple game that my young RP'ing self can enjoy.

I watched my friends play D & D when it was first released, I was curious. Decades later, I enter via computer games of the highest amusement and least complexity for someone like myself easily lost in concepts of stats and strategy. That's what I get for sticking to Tetris and the like.

I have played Kingdom of Loathing on and off for a bit over a year now, it has its charms. This is a game closer to what I think of for games.

Much appreciation for your sharing!

I will quickly add, that I'm easily lost in it, unsure of what to do, yet, excited by the taste of an old style game with back story and skill gaining. I will hit that Help button often.

ratbastid

Yeah, we had a little outage today. I don't THINK it was because of the load the game put on the server... Read the MOTD (top right corner) for details.

flamingdog

A dwelling? Anyone?

maleficent

ooooh
YAY I got hit with a pretty stick --

/me dances with glee

dance ends abrubtly when I end up dead the very next round...
