Re: RP systems for non RP muds
Hacking and slashing for the sake of it is really incompatible with role-playing anything but a homicidal lunatic. As most people aren't role-playing such (and even most who claim to are just trying to come up with an excuse for their behavior), there should be a reason to engage in combat. RP and H&S are completely different things and combining them really just leads to being one but claiming the other or both. It's a lot like being pregnant. Either you're pregnant or you're not. You can claim to be a RP MUD but as soon as H&S is introduced into the mix, you're really just a H&S MUD with silly "RP" requirements that don't make sense given the nature of the H&S elements.
