&gt; Subject: Stories that mud/mushes are base on? 
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; Hello everybody,
&gt; 
&gt; I'm looking for my homepage for (famous) stories/series that have been used
&gt; to base a mud on. Preferably muds or mushes with a certain amount of role-
&gt; playing.
&gt; So far I have a page dedicated to Anne McCaffrey's 'Dragonriders of Pern'
&gt; series and Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' series. And a page about
&gt; 'The Lord of the Rings' is in the making. I don't doubt that there
&gt; are many more series about worlds that inspired somebody into creating a
&gt; game set in that world. A (partial) list of muds based on a particular
&gt; novel or world would be welcome too.

Pern is certainly a popular one - Tolkien to a lesser extent,
surprisingly, and WoT increasingly. There is one official 'Rift' game
based on Feist's works that I know of, too.

A number of games draw on elements of Moorcock's work (several lame muds
are named after parts, probably because the gods thought Stormbringer was
a cool sword!), but I know of none solely based upon any of his books.

Of course, series wise, Star Wreck is ludicrously popular, and there are
several B5 games (although I have the dubious accolade of having started
the very first one).

The World of darkness RPG system is also ridiculously popular (although
quite a good system), with some 70 odd games based in various parts of it
around.

There are at least a handful of Star Wars games, and at one point there
was a game based around the Narnia Chronicles.

Thats all which actually leaps to mind - although I may attempt publishing
some of the stuff I'm writing for Caffeine at some point. Who knows.

Regards,
	-Matt Chatterley
