So, this week, I blather on for a while about microtransactions, MUDs, and the inherent good, evil, and selling-your-soul-ness of supporting monetizing a game/monetizing your game. Is there such a thing as ethical microtransactions? Let me know what you think, via email, comment, or discord. Come yell at me on Discord! My id is Leotharas#4172 […]
Hey everyone, it’s Tark’s first review in a while! I’ve been playing Darkwind for a few weeks now when I’ve found the time to do so, and it’s the first LPMUD that I can say that I’ve been having a blast with. The staff is great, the players are super awesome and helpful to my […]
What the title says. In my awesome “I’m prepared and ready to do this, go me!” I forgot to actually upload the audio files. I blame my children. But it’s in the last post, and it’s in this post!
This episode is mostly concerned about what to do when you don’t really have a player base for your MUD. Anything from scaling zones to mob party members that behave more like other players, something has to exist in your game that keeps people playing even when there’s no one else home. Come yell at […]
So, pretty simple episode this week. Just some talk about attracting, and possibly keeping, players. It’s really all kind of general stuff that’s probably been said a lot of times before, but I like to think I gave a fairly unique twist to it. Come yell at me on Discord! My id is Leotharas#4172 Shoutouts:March […]
For episode twenty, I decided to talk about that thing that’ll keep me from giving your game more than a five minute try. Help files! So often, these delicious nuggets of information are left to themselves, without updates, organization, or any of that helpy goodness that makes a good game a great game. Come yell […]
That’s right, after WAAAAAAAAY too long of a hiatus, I’m back and spitting out episodes. Feels good to record, and as I’m going to actually get back to playing MUDs again, that’s going to feel good too. Pretty lazy editing for this episode, so I apologize for any word fumbles and the like, but I’m […]
Today, I spend some time talking about the relationships between MUD administrators and players. Hopefully, both sides are angry at me! CLOK, June’s Let’s MUD Winner! Sponsor AND MUD Hosting: Opie Twitch Channel Youtube RSS Music – Sean Phillips on Spotify MUD Subreddit MUD Discord
It’s what the title says. I apologize for what I’m sure is a bit of kid noise and doggo barking in the background. Didn’t really take the time to get that all edited out. But, a cast! Edits will come in as I listen to it again and remember to add those links I mentioned! […]
So, it’s what the title says. Lazy editing on my part this week, but I just wanted to get this up and out there.

Hey everyone! So, it’s what the title says, and what I say in the podcast. I figure this is going to either be the best, most well received episode ever, OOOORRRRRR I’ll lose all my current listeners because of it. One or the other, no middle ground. With that all being said, hit play! Tarknote: […]
Hey everyone, it’s a day late and I’m a dollar short, but here’s episode fourteen of the podcast! I spend a lot of time talking about death, dying, and why you should probably avoid it in your game of choice. As always, if you’ve got information that I don’t regarding death systems and the like […]
Hey everyone, Tark here with a let’s play of ElephantMUD. Now, I do recognize that I sound very down and negative on this game while I’m playing. I’ll be perfectly honest, it’s not my cup of tea. They’ve been in development for over twenty years, which is an incredible accomplishment. I can see the potential […]
Hey everyone, today’s episode talks about combat systems in MUDs. 1) What is combat? a. Combat is killing things. 1. The general goal is to make the hitpoints of the thing you’re attacking reach zero before your hitpoints do. 2. It tends to be the primary mechanic in MUDs that the entire game is built […]
I’m alive! With an episode! It’s the apocalypse! But, in all seriousness, hey everyone. New episode, where I rant about why I don’t like hunger in MUDs. Agree, disagree, hate my face? Lemme know! 1) What is hunger? a. Mechanic in MUDs usually implemented as a timer. 1. Be logged in for X hours, […]
Hey everyone, today’s episode talks about MMORPGs, and what features that MUDs could stand to steal from them in order to modernize their gameplay experience. Ideally, that’d come with attracting more new MUDders as well. MMORPGs are more popular than MUDs for a variety of reasons. Graphics, etc. But they also tend to have lower […]
Hey everyone, gonna make this short and sweet. We review Dark Risings, which is totally worth playing. Now, I’m off to play Dark Risings!

Hey guys and gals! So, this week’s episode is my stream of consciousness as I try out RetroMUD for the first time. I’m not super duper overly happy with this episode, and I intend to cover RetroMUD again in a more formal review. I’ve gotten feedback that some of you love “livestreaming”, while others prefer […]
Hey everyone! I decided to try something new out with this episode, a Let’s Play showing my first thirty minutes with the September MUD of the Month winner KingdomsMUD. What you’re getting is my conscious stream of thought as I login, make a character, and start playing. Unfortunately, well…I go to newbie school. But, it’s […]
Hey guys and gals! Sorry about the extreme delay on this episode, had tech issues that prevented things from happening. That all being said, I spend some time talking about getting your own MUD up and running.
