Online RPG
 |
Avalon; The Legend Lives is a beautifully written role playing world environment
of enormous depth, complexity and possibilities. Even so, much help and
guidance is available to the complete role playing novice. Avalon is totally original in its
conception and creation and has spawned many imitators, none of which
have come close to matching its features or evocative descriptions, probably because it is still evolving even as you read this.
Avalon provides an enormous web site for any additional help players cannot find through the help system within the game or by asking their fellow players, plus a detailed
history of the land. There is also an advanced Java client for immediate
play from your web browser so Avalon can be played with no downloads or shop-bought software. |
Online Poker
|
There are many aspects to online role playing, not least of which is your "table image" projected to fellow poker players when playing online poker. There are many sites that discuss table image and its importance to winning poker players. One of the most popular online poker rooms currently and the best to our minds for gleaning useful information of this type is the Poker Junkie Online Poker Community. This is an excellent site, free to use with a nice look and feel. A vibrant poker community, it features a lively discussion forum and a host of articles on strategies such as table image, live events, pro players' blogs and more. One aspect we particularly like is the instructive poker videos where a successful pro player comments on his own play in real-time – this means you get to see both wins and losses unfold which is a superb aid in analysing both. There are also in-depth room reviews for all the most popular online poker rooms, and to top it all the front page has a brilliantly useful texas holdem poker odds calculator which can be quickly used in real time. These features, plus a handy bankroll tracker tool and much more besides make this one of the very best free game-related sites on the net. Get it bookmarked!

player support and you had better be on your mettle. First Age is

Armageddon
 |
A Role playing MUD game based in the harsh climate of the desert planet known as Zalanthas, where, curiously, a number of different character 'classes' can be found such as elves as well as humans. Although this is a MUD environment the emphasis is very much on role playing and out of character actions can be penalised heavily. One of the things this means is that before you play you must submit a character description and 'history' by e-mail which will be vetted and either accepted or rejected. Once your character is killed in this game then it is gone for good and you must create a new one, but you must NOT use information gained by previous characters to advance your next character. Such cases of abuse along with a number of others are judged 'The Staff'. The very fact that this online RPG has been around for over a decade tells you that some very dedicated people are involved in running and playing play this game. Previous mudding and role playing experience is recommended as well as a competent MUD client. |
Kojin, the Soul of Samurai
 |
Set in the Sengoku period of Japan, otherwise known as the Warring States period, Kojin is by far the most ambitious RPG project out there. You can play any kind of samurai, ninja, warlord... even a geisha (a type of prostitute)! It sets no limits to what you can do and is extremely addictive to play. |
Age
of the Throne
|
The dramatic backdrop of
17th Century Paris, in the time of King Louis XIII, The Kings Musketeers
and Cardinal Richelieu provides the setting for this roleplaying domain.
A refreshingly unique scenario. A java MUD console is provided for
immediate play from your browser without the need for downloads. Relatively
young for a MUD but under constant development. |
Elysium
|
A custom built role playing
fantasy environment which is ambitious and still in beta stage development.
The backdrop spans across three continents and provides politicial
plots and battles that rival even the best. It has a wide range of
class selections and skills to choose from. It is novice friendly
but experienced mudders will find many of the skills lacking complete
originality. If you want to start afresh in a new world then this
is for you. Those wishing to find a taste of something totally new
should look at the higher rated role playing games listed above. This
game does offers a deeply immersive role playing environment that
many other's have yet to achieve. |
| Star
Wars
 |
If you're a Star Wars fan
through and through then you'll enjoy this online role playing forum.
Its well organised format of campaigns makes it easy to launch right
in and become immersed in new or old discussions. If Star Wars is
not for you then this site does not offer something to everyone. Its
wide range of story lines and the enthusiasm of the people who are
both running and using it, makes it worth its ranking here. |
