A classic text-based MUD powered by a modern distributed engine. Choose your race, master your class, and forge your legend.
A multiplayer text adventure in the tradition of the original DIKU MUDs.
Built on Microsoft Orleans, Grain Forge brings the depth of classic MUDs to a distributed architecture that scales. Every room, NPC, and item is a live actor in a persistent world.
6 races, 5 base classes, and 15 prestige specializations. Point-buy attributes, skill training, and choice gates that permanently shape your character's abilities.
No client download required. Launch Grain Forge as a Discord Activity and play directly inside your server with friends. Full terminal UI with HUD, compass, and vitals.
Explore, fight, trade, and group up in a living world.
3-second combat rounds with multi-attack, critical strikes, weapon proficiencies, and class-specific skills. Flee when things go south, or stand your ground.
Form groups with other players for NvM combat. Auto-follow your leader, share XP, and take on challenges no solo adventurer could survive.
Earn gold from combat, buy and sell equipment at NPC shops, and gear up for the challenges ahead. Appraise items before you commit.
