I was wondering if anyone had ever played a MUSH and had any thoughts on how one comapars to D&D, and why?

I've never played a MUSH/MUD, but I do game on a MUCK.

Now you're going to look at me and go "Wha?"

Basically a MUCK is just a glorified chat-channel. You get the GM and four players together and everybody types out their stuff. And all we do is write a dice program (or use an existing one), and run it like it was WebRPG (Without the constant crashing and suchlike).

Both are good, but in different ways. (I play on a MUCK which has quite a bit more to it than Rechan indicated. I'm pretty sure we play on very different games.)

I wouldn't give up either my MUCK or my D&D.

Well, I wasn't talking about Free-form Rp, which most MUCKs are. I was thinking he was looking for the D&D experience on the various things. My mistake. :)

I've done a few MUDs and MUXs but without a party to play with they are pretty boring
