About

Whether it’s a group of friends around a table with polyhedral dice, someone valiantly trying to guess the syntax to look at a lamp and avoid the grue, a group of friends typing text to each other across international borders, or a group of friends talking over ventrilo while their exquisitely rendered avatars co-ordinate to take down a boss, fantasy gaming has been with us from the beginning, and is clearly here to stay.

This site explores the many aspects of fantasy from books to games, from DnD to text adventures, MUDs, MUSHes and MOOs, to the modern phenomena of million dollar MMOs. We’ll cover everything from the social aspects to the developmental challenges.
