''[http://discworld.atuin.net/lpc/index.html Discworld MUD]'' is a free-to-play [[Multi User Dungeon]] launched in the early 1990’s, based on Terry Pratchett’s ''[[Discworld]]'' series. It’s possible to meet many characters and travel to the areas seen in the books. So far, the MUD seems to take place during the events of ''[[
The player starts as an Adventurer and can choose to join one of six player-run<ref>except for warriors</ref> guilds: Assassins, Priests, Thieves, Warriors, Witches, and Wizards. Each guild has a number of specialisations and different primaries. Or the player can [[Self-Imposed Challenge|stay an adventurer]].
And there’s much more to that.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly High Level Cap]]: There’s an achievement for reaching guild level 800. Only one player has surpassed guild level 700, and guild levels of 1000 or more are theoretically possible.
* [[Already Done for You]]: Quest-related [[Non-Player Character|NPCs]] and items usually take half an hour to reset, so sometimes it’s already “done”.▼
* [[A Homeowner Is You]]▼
* [[An Adventurer Is You]]
▲* [[Already Done for You]]: Quest-related [[Non-Player Character|NPCs]] and items usually take half an hour to reset, so sometimes it’s already “done”.
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: A few quests.
* [[An Entrepreneur Is You]]: Player-run shops.
Line 40:
{{quote|Constable Flint says: You, Tabs, are hereby sentenced to 3 hours and 20 minutes of maximum security arrest for the murder of a city guard, obstructing an officer of the Watch in the execution of his or her duty by fighting in public, the murder of a watchman, one hundred and seventy-one instances of assaulting an officer of the Watch and disturbing him or her in the execution of his or her duty, six instances of malicious vandalism of a valuable public service, two instances of manipulating property of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch with the intent of breaking convicted criminals out of jail, thirteen instances of killing an officer of the Watch and resisting arrest.}}
** Also counts as [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]].
** The game can only sentence you to a maximum of 3 hours and 20 minutes (game time—it's about an hour in real time) [https://web.archive.org/web/20110825120813/http://quotes.frimble.net/454/ even if the rap sheet is longer than your arm.]
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: [[Captain Obvious|You have two hands.]] Each can hold a weapon, if the weapon is light enough.
** Those willing to use [[Awesome but Impractical]] magic can gain an extra arm and triple wield.
Line 54:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Good thing there are many player sites and older players to help.
* [[Hit Points]]
▲* [[A Homeowner Is You]]
* [[HP to One]]: Getting heavied in Ankh-Morpork.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: See Dangerously Close Shave. After the player character dies, the body becomes meat pie material, and those pies can be purchased from the shop downstairs. There's an achievement for tasting enough delicious players.
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
* [[Mana Meter]]: Guild points.
* [[New World Tease]]: Areas are marked on the map by an asterisk and text, but several are inaccessible until the creators implement the area.
* [[Odd Job Gods]]: Gufnork, the god of fluff; Sandelfon, god of corridors; Hat, vulture-headed god of unexpected guests.
* [[Olympic Swimmer]]: Unless you’re too heavy and sink.
Line 75 ⟶ 77:
* [[Organ Drops]]: Well, they have to be cut out, but there are many available body parts that [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|every]] corpse offers.
** An aversion: {{spoiler|[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Heartless lawyers]]}}.
* [[Pacifist Run]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20121110011109/http://discworld.imaginary-realities.com/wiki/Idlechasing "Idlechasing, the art of getting as much experience as possible by using commands, usually without going on a killing rampage or moving much"]
* [[Player Versus Player]]: Players can choose to apply to be playerkillers. Assassins, after passing their specialisation-relevant test, automatically become PKs.
* [[Plunder]]
Line 90 ⟶ 92:
{{spoiler|(Two) Sokkard wisps: And I'll tell you the rest next time BECAUSE IT'S a CEREAL.}} }}
** {{spoiler|Geddit? [[Incredibly Lame Pun|"Serial"?]]}}
* [[Punny Name]]: Several NPCs and players; Tique is fond of making different puns with his last name. There's a category in the [http://discworld.atuin.net/lpc/secure/osrics/index.html Osrics]{{Dead link}} for best name, where the top names are mostly puns.
* [[Purely Aesthetic Gender]]: The only major thing affected by gender is whether a player can join the witches’ guild (can’t be male).
* [[Rage Quit]]: Probably the reason why corpses of newbies with their stuff are found, but the player isn’t online.
Line 97 ⟶ 99:
** There are also some tough NPCs that have short descriptions that resemble weaker NPCs. "Look"ing at them or "consider"ing them usually gives the player clues that they shouldn't be trifled with.
* [[Scratch Damage]]: Averted. Once the player is a high enough level (something like that), weaker opponents have a hard time landing a hit. If they manage to, the player’s “skin absorbs all of the blow”.
▲* [[Shiny Sense]]: Lights, like yellow stone rings.
* [[Shoplift and Die]]: There are certain areas where it’s a very bad idea to shoplift. For non-thieves or thieves without a license, shoplifting in Ankh-Morpork gets you heavied (money and items confiscated) and left hanging on Brass Bridge with [[HP to One|one hit point]].
* [[Shout-Out]]: Many, most noticeably in the achievements and jukebox and pre-reboot songs.
