Steel he/him Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi everyone! I am an avid MUD player (for those who don't know, MUDs are online textbased, usually roleplaying games) and I think that there should definitely be a MUD hosted in the awesome world of Cosmere. I'm willing to host it and write all the code (unless someone wants to help), but I'd need some volunteers to help with writing the rooms and stuff, since I haven't read all of Brandon's work (workin' my way through I'd also need a people to actually play on it. Anyone with suggestions or anything please reply 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyring Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 oh, heh, Once, looong ago I played in a mud, I even helped with some simple coding(making rooms), in unix.. but that was.. I think 95? around there atleast. Since Iv never worked with coding, and havent done anything like it since I finished... I think it would be college thats it in the american system. And unfortunately, dont quite have the time to relearn it. Its a fun idea thou. Is there actually a live mud community around still? Wonder if the old "vikingmud" I used to play on is still around... hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardbearer he/him Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Oh, this takes me back. Anyway, wouldn't you need permission to use Brandon's intellectual property in this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmingly he/him Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 If you don't make any money, it's no worse than fanart in my opinion. Fanart is excellent. But the copyright rules might say something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel he/him Posted April 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I think it qualifies as fanfic, since we're not making money off it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roninj Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 There's tons of WoT MUDs out there and I'm sure they don't have copyright permission. I'd be surprised if there were any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
