Well thanks! That save me typing out the entire AD&D Monstrous Manual!
Seriously, did most of that race list look familiar or what? I've been
designing my MUD for a few months now and every time I get stuck I put in
some D&D rules. That's not a concious decision (I haven't even played it
for four years), I just cobble something together only to have another
designer turn around and say "Oh, you mean like in <insert d&d sourcebook
here>". Oddly enough I've not ever considered adding in some Shadowrun
stuff (which I play twice weekly and have done for nigh on four years).
This has probably been asked before but I currently lack the facilities to
check... Are there any -truely- original MUDs out there? or do players
need points of reference like familiar races/classes, recognisable
societies/governments etc?
Richard
