Welcome to Discworld MUD

Discworld MUD is a multiplayer, text-based, online game (a MUD) based on the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett. On Discworld you will meet many of the characters from those books. Terry's books are humorous fantasy and the game retains the comical, fun feel of the books.

We are a fully-featured and well-established MUD with many possibilities for player interaction: 14 areas (domains) totalling over a million rooms, the opportunity to become a member of one of 6 guilds, a citizen of one of the many city-states on the disc, run your own shop, own your own house, write for the local newspaper, and much more!

Start Playing

There is no cost to play Discworld MUD, it is developed and maintained entirely by volunteers. You can login and create a character with any java-capable web browser simply by clicking on the 'play now' link to the left.

The 'playing' menu has links to a number of pages to help you get orientated.

The Discworld turned against the glittering backdrop of space, spinning very gently on the backs of the four giant elephants that perched on the shell of Great A'Tuin the star turtle. Continents drifted slowly past, topped by weather systems that themselves turned gently against the flow, like waltzers spinning counter to the whirl of the dance. A billion tons of geography rolled slowly through the sky.

People look down on stuff like geography and meteorology, and not only because they're standing on one and being soaked by the other. They don't look quite like real science.*

*That is to say, the sort you can use to give something three extra legs and then blow it up.

Quote of the Moment

I think I would like to go into modelling. Of course, I don't know how to
do it, and wouldn't be any good at it if I did, so I'm going to employ
someone to walk the catwalks on my behalf. It would still be *me*, of
course...
