Discworld MUD isn’t just a game — it’s a chance to step into the living, unpredictable, and sharply witty world of Terry Pratchett, where every action you take shapes events, and humor and absurdity go hand in hand with real challenges.
There are no graphics here — only text, but it draws you in more deeply than a thousand pictures ever could. Your adventure begins in Ankh-Morpork, the most dangerous and charming city in the Discworld. Want to become a thief who “lightens the burdens” of others? Or a witch who wields magic through natural forces, herbs, and curses? Or perhaps you’re drawn to the path of a priest whose gods sometimes demand… rather specific sacrifices?
You have seven guilds at your disposal: warriors, thieves, assassins, wizards, witches, priests, and fools. Each offers a unique playstyle and its philosophy. The skill system is flexible — no levels. Just progress through experience and practice. Want to become a master of combat or a virtuoso in cooking? Here, anything is possible. Politics, trade, economy, even becoming a mayor or a newspaper editor — in Discworld MUD, anyone clever and persistent enough can rise to power.
If you’re seeking something beyond the usual RPG fare — a world where every word carries weight, every decision leads into mystery, and every meeting might unfold as farce or fate — then Discworld MUD awaits you.
