TriadCity is a large-scale multiuser role-playing game
with a literary orientation, currently in beta.

While role-playing MUDs are fairly common, this one is
different.  Where most MUDs focus on 'kill the
monster' style adventuring, TriadCity explores themes
which have been central to Western culture: good and evil,
city and country, nature and civilization, personal and
collective identities, violence and nonviolence, freedom
and slavery.

'Literary orientation' means that narrative
techniques from the novel and other traditions are
incorporated, such as voice, point of view,
characterization, plot, and so on. Various forms of
subjectivity are imposed on the characters which players
create, some relative, some radical. This means that
character histories and views of the world are potentially
unique to each individual player.

We opened to the public on 10/1/01 and are just starting
to build our player base.  We hope you'll check us out, and
will tell us what you think!
