Dark Sun MUD is a continuation of tbaMUD/CircleMUD, which is built on DIKU MUD.
|
|
|
|
|
The code here is freeware to honor that tradition.

Due to the sensitive nature of topics found in this setting, all characters and
|
|
|
|
|
players are 18+. The game world is based on the D&D campaign setting Dark Sun
|
|
|
|
|
(as close as possible).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Roleplay is highly encouraged, but not enforced.
