While downloading the Clan Lord update, I was eyeballing the copy on the web page, and it gave me a couple of chuckles.
Clan Lord is a world of high fantasy role-playing on the Internet.So, if you enjoy low fantasy, don't play Clan Lord, because it's high fantasy. Join thousands of players around the world whose online characters are exiled to a dangerous island chain, threatened by monsters, sorcery, and political strife.Don't worry, though, you'll only join a hundred of them at any given time, if it's a busy night. And, any political strife is actually in eGroups, not in Clan Lord. Not just hack and slash -- heal the wounded, study magic, and solve puzzles.Not just hack and slack? So there are stories? Oh. Sorry, silly me. And notice you can study magic, but you can't actually use it. In fairness, the Tenebrion story thread is very encouraging. Best work done by DT to date, marred a tiny bit by the clumsy way it's being introduced, though understandable for a first and ambitious effort.
