About the Game

  1. MUD (Multi-User Dungeon): A text-based multiplayer RPG in the tradition of the early online worlds. Explore rooms, fight monsters, talk to other players, or simply hang out and see what happens.
  2. Multiplayer: Share the world with other players and shape it through your actions. Everyone connects to the same server (currently running on a Raspberry Pi).
  3. Accessible: Many actions are presented as numbered choices, so you can simply type the number of the action you want to take instead of memorizing a long list of commands. However, some commands are not presented as choices, such as i to view your inventory, c to view your character stats, and s to speak — for example, s Hello, stranger.
  4. Permadeath: Characters die permanently, unless resurrected.
  5. Logout Death: Logging out permanently ends your character's story. They will not return, but their belongings remain.
  6. In Development: Fire & Ashes is currently an early prototype. The world resets whenever the server restarts; persistence may be introduced later.

Rules & Inspiration

Fire & Ashes is loosely based on the System Reference Document (SRD) underlying D&D 5th Edition. Currently with no explicit character classes or levels.

Join the Experiment

Fire & Ashes is still in development, so there's plenty to discover and plenty that may not work as intended.
