| Lovecraft Country: Arkham By Night - MUD Description | |
| ~ THE PREMISE ~ The year is 1934, and the depression is at its height. Life at Miskatonic University, a Liberal Arts college in Arhkam, Massachusetts, seems quiet. But dark secrets lurk around every corner in this sleepy, New England town. Thick fogs enshroud the town, and throughout its history it has been the site of calamities, violence, and Fortean phenomena. What mythos mysteries will be uncovered in Lovecraft Country: Arkham by Night? The place where the mantra is... 'Act as if nothing is wrong.' ~ THE BACKGROUND ~ Lovecraft Country's 'Arkham by Night' is a game of personal horror, more akin to a supernatural thriller or gothic novel than a slasher film. It emphasizes mood and atmosphere. Arkham, the game’s setting drawn from the works of H. P. Lovecraft, is a town of crumbling buildings, armigerous New England families with tenuous bloodlines, and fear-shrouded secrets. ~ SPECIAL GAME FEATURES ~ Arkham by Night boasts some of these special features: * PRIVATE ROOMS. Every character begins with their own private room, and all objects are saved automatically to create a truly persistent environment. * GRAPHICAL MAP. Our custom designed client software loads easily in your browser and displays a graphical map that moves as your character moves. * NATURAL SPEECH PARSER. A custom speech and movement parser system that allows you to type natural movements. * CONSENT BASED. A consent based roleplaying system with integrated supporting systems controlling it. * ROLEPLAY REQUIRED. Roleplay is absolutely mandatory, but we are completely willing to help you work through the basics of how to do this. There are special commands for Out of Character (OOC) speech, separate from In Character (IC) speech. * GREAT PEOPLE. Helpful players and staff that encourage and help the players run their own stories/plots. ~ PROGRESS ~ Arkham by Night is still growing! We are currently in an advanced Beta, and moving along wonderfully. ~ THE COMPANY ~ One great aspect is that when you come and join the Skotos community and try our game, Arkham by Night, you not only get to play our game... but all of the other Skotos games as well!
