Midgaard by SmartMonsters vs Chaos Weaver

Swords! Dragons! Castles! Magical fireballs! Inns with ale! Retro gaming at its most retro! Midgaard is our homage to the text MUDs of decades past. Running on the TriadCity platform, it's an emulation of the classic DikuMUD adventure tradition circa 1994. Midgaard is a labor of love for us. It's where many of us first encountered MUDs and were astonished by their engrossing play and extraordinary potential. It's full of clever ideas, many of which became standards as the tradition evolved. Most importantly, it's fun! It's completely FREE to play, is blind-friendly, and has more women players than men. Best of all, it's friendly! For twenty years SmartMonsters has been free of the flame wars, misogyny, and mean-spiritedness prominent in some other environments. Even our bulletin boards are safe! Visit us today - we can't wait to meet you! As a member of the SmartMonsters universe, Midgaard is one linked World among others. Your characters can move freely between Midgaard, TriadCity, Dungeon, and future Worlds all with quite different "laws of physics". Meet you there! * Simple, straightforward graphical interface with minimal controls. * All major game and account functions available in-app, without having to exit to the Web site. * Graphical displays of character state: health, energy, attributes, skills, etc. * Manage chat channels, natural language parsing, and other features. * Character maintenance: health, energy, experience, Skills. * Store login creds in the Keychain; share them among devices via iCloud. * Access the Players' Guide, FAQ, Message of the Day and other website resources directly within the app. * Create new characters. * Fully mobile: works happily over WiFi or cellular data. * Blind-friendly: thoroughly tested with Voice Over by volunteers from audiogames.net and elsewhere. * Female-friendly: we've had more women players than men for over 20 years. * Very friendly community - apparently all the mean people go to WoW 'cos we have none; even our bulletin-boards are safe! * Thousands of players from all over the world.

Reality is fraying. Every choice you make is resolved by a live chaos engine — no two runs weave the same way. Chaos Weaver is a text-driven roguelite RPG. You play a Weaver navigating collapsing timelines, where a real mathematical chaos system (a Lorenz attractor and a seeded d20) decides how your gambles land. Build a character, push deeper into unstable sectors, and turn risky decisions into permanent power. — WEAVE YOUR RUN — • Choose from distinct classes — Attractor Knight, Entropy Mage, Noise Thief, and the balanced Chaos Weaver — each with unique attributes and starting gear. • Branch through a multi-lane route map: pick your path through encounters, elites, settlements, shrines, and bosses. • Every skill check is a real d20 roll weighted by your stats. Win a quick attribute mini-game to tip the odds in your favor. — CHAOS IS A MECHANIC, NOT A THEME — • Anomalies rewrite the rules mid-run: Supernova doubles every outcome, Retrograde flips success and failure, Time Warp shields you from death, Quantum Shift swaps your core stats. • Set the stakes before you start with Chaos Protocols and ascension difficulty — more danger, greater rewards. — FIGHT, LOOT, AND GROW — • Turn-based duels against elites and bosses with abilities, status effects, and tactical choices. • Hunt rarity-tiered loot, complete gear sets, and salvage or gamble at the Chaos Forge. • Take contracts and multi-step quests from the people you meet along the way. • Spend Fractal Cores on account-wide upgrades that persist across every future run. — BUILT FOR iPHONE — • Native SwiftUI app with haptic feedback and motion-charged actions. • Sign in with Apple or Google to keep your progression, loot, and upgrades synced. • A living codex of factions, beasts, sectors, and lore to uncover. How deep can you weave before the chaos unwinds you? Note: Chaos Weaver requires an internet connection to play. Link to Terms: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
