Thought I'd post this up here since I've not seen it mentioned. For those who want to explore the world of discworld, this is a great MUD.

Very friendly community when I hop on every few months, and with a lot of rich detail from the books.

I've not played in long enough that my character has now been erased but I had some great times traversing the paths of the Sto Planes, the Circle Sea and up to Lancre stealing from travellers to train my thief skills.

Oh my, how have I never seen or heard of this in my 38 years on Earth...?!

Uhh, eh, I meant Roundworld!

I so want to give this a go but I've always been way too intimidated tbh. I've only grown up with the books for the last 30 years, maybe I'm not hardcore enough of a fan to keep up! 😱

Does it use Flash? I thought that had been stopped now as very insecure?

It's a MUD, so you can connect via a MUD client :

Otherwise, it uses a JavaScript client to play by default:

Neither appears to be flash (alas for those great days!)
