A few bits of housekeeping before I resume my efforts.

1) Thanks to Orion Elder for stepping up and offering a haven for this feature, which was inspired by Loremaster and, despite what others would have you believe, my wanting to help out other games by getting them noticed even if they're not in the front page of the listings. I've been running my own games for five years now. I've been a charter member of Top MUD Sites since it opened, and have been proud to write columns and moderate the Roleplaying forum. And when I can, I like to give back to the community that has helped me. That, gentle readers, is my agenda. I don't need to do this to get attention for myself. That's not what it has been about at all. It really, seriously, is all about *me* picking some sites that interest *me* from the *Top MUD Sites* listings and sharing them with *you*. I'm not just posting these here, by the way. I also post them in the forums of *my* game sites. So, once a day, these lower-visibility games are getting exposure in four different forums.

2) Thanks to the many devoted MUD community members who both publicly and privately extended their support for what I'm doing.

3) For those wondering "how I do it," it's pretty simple: I look for sites that interest me (like any TMS visitor might do), I check out their sites, I make sure they're online and operational, and then I post a blurb about them. I wish I had all the time in the world to review these games extensively, but I simply don't. I can't promise that *you* will find all the games or their sites as interesting as *I* do - but, at least I can hope you will give them a look, which might not have happened before.

I repeat the following offer: If you have a MUD in the sub-20 territory of Top MUD Sites and don't want me to mention your MUD, please send e-mail to .

To be fair to the previous Brody's Underdogs of the Day, I plan to share them together in the next post.
