| Pict - MUD Description | |
| The year is 208 AD: The Roman general Septimius Severus leads a force of 20,000 Roman troops into what they called Britannia. As a Celtic rogue warrior, what the Romans and others referred to as a Pict, you call the region home and have answered the call to arms. [Pict] features an 8000-room totally unique ASCII game world based on an actual map of the area between Antoine's and Hadrian's walls in southern Scotland. The game features open-ended character advancement, randomized items with stat bonuses, faction-based shops and stat bonuses, and rare but powerful magic spells castable through a schools and spells system: buy the school's skill for skill points, then use the study skill on scrolls found in-game to learn new spells! Others features include a built-in auction system, craftable enchanted leather armor, potions, scrolls, and the ability to survey the a wide area of land around you from the treetops, a mountain, or a city wall (type 'map' or 'survey'). Essentially, [Pict] is a massive world full of beasts, monsters, and ruthless, reckless Romans that constantly fight and/or team up with each other based on their AI. Players may currently complete kill quests as well as gather pelts from animal kills in exchange for free random items, or the pelts can be made into leather armor or armor kits. You can also gain honor with one of the 5 Pictish tribes, which gives you a bonus to one of the five core attributes (depending on which tribe you swear allegience to), in addition to a discount at shopkeepers who are members of that tribe! |
