Dark and Shattered Lands MUD

Q: Jess, what is this hideous place?

A: A long, long time ago, on Geocities, I once maintained a list of links to web pages on Dark and Shattered Lands MUD. Geocities is now gone, but Dark and Shattered Lands lives on. A friend lamented the loss of my "orange dsl page". So, here it is, Orange Doom rebirthed from the fiery ashes of the internet. Back to burn your retina again as you read up on my all time favorite text-based game.

Don't know what a MUD is? Read about the history of MUDs at The MUDdex.
