Swords of Freeport

SWORDS OF FREEPORT is a text-mode social RPG heavily inspired by the style of Bulletin Board System door games from back in the ’90s. It is part MUD and part BBS Game - but without the need for a BBS. You can play it on your home machine alone, or play/install it on an internet-accessible machine where others can join you - anywhere they have terminal access.

It is heavily inspired by games such as Legend of the Red Dragon, with a certain numbers of turns per day. Select a profession, join a guild, and make a name for yourself today!

Features include:

• Retro play once-a-day style mechanics
• Three core starting professions with options for cross-skilling
• A whole city and the countryside around it to explore!
• Witty, smart humour throughout the game *
• All 24 characters and many words of the English language are used to evoke the feeling of really being in a squalid Victorian-adjacent fantasy city!
• Addictive turn-based gameplay which limits how much time you can sink into it
• Look, it has the Bloatalope - you want to hunt a Bloatalope, don’t you?

While the game is primarily intended to be played on shared unix servers, it can be played locally on various systems in a text mode terminal - or you can play it on a graphical system as part of Second Hand Computer.
