Genesis Lpmud

Genesis LPMud is the original LPMud, founded in April 1989 by Lars Pensj, running on CD gamedriver and mudlib, and hosted by Chalmers Computer Society. Medieval fantasy is the general theme. Roleplaying is expected.

The world

According to an ancient legend, Genesis is a giant donut, stolen in the morning of the Universe from the kitchen of the Creator by her little errand boy, Fatty. For his crime, she cursed him to walk the surface of the donut for eternity, forever trying in vain to satiate his insatiable hunger. The donut is illuminated by the bottle of Starbrite (useful to polish the stars and other celestial bodies) suspended in the middle of the ring.

Domains

The highly eclectic world of Genesis is composed of several domains, each one following single theme. Some of them are based on various literary works, other are original. Taken together, they consist of tens of thousands original, unique locations. As of 2004, the following domains exist: To travel between them, ships are typically used.
