Second Pass MUSH

The things I do for my wife. I am pretty sure I mentioned it before, but I originally met my wife on PernMUSH in 1999. That was before I had discovered MMOs and text-based roleplay was where its at. I have mostly moved on since then, but she’s never lost her enjoyment of roleplaying. She went on to open her own MUSH which has been running since the summer of 2010. It’s another Pern-themed game set in the Second Pass, hence the name ‘Second Pass MUSH’.

Now, she’s been asking me to post an ad for her game for quite some time, and I did on Facebook. Now that I have picked up blogging momentum again, she asked me to post it here. I finally agreed, under one condition: I would be allowed to interview her and the other two staff members of the game, to sort out why anyone would still be interested in playing a completely text-based medium in the day and age of MMOs. The interview should be posted by the end of the week, and I am looking quite forward to their answers to my questions. I hope anyone interested in RPGs will enjoy the post as well.

To hold up my part of the deal, I now present to you the official ad of the game. If you have any questions about it already, ask away, and I’ll make Schmitt aka Mrs. Kadomi answer the questions.

Picture a collaborative combination of a book and an RPG, where you write scenes together with other awesome people and decide your character’s fate over time. Set in Anne McCaffrey’s Pern, a world with crumbling technology and the looming danger of life-eating space organisms, your character must band together with others to save humanity – or die squabbling. With the help of genetically engineered dragons the threat can be overcome, but at the cost of the personal rights of those who ride the dragons.

Have a look at our website, www.2pmush.net for more information, or log in to the game with telnet riverdark.net port 1234 (or check us out by logging in over a web-based client first: www.mudconnect.com/fmud/?host=riverdark.net&port=1234 ). Just let us know you’re new to MUSHing or to Pern by typing ‘g Help! I’m new to this!’ and staff and players who are online will be happy to help.
