Skills and Commands

Skills and commands. The crux of a game like the Discworld MUD, and, consequently, extremely difficult to write about for a newbie such as myself.

I've already given it a go in the Skills for Newbies chapter of Absolute Beginners, by way of introduction. And it probably goes much further than it should, and inevitably, some parts will be duplicated in here.

So please allow me to begin by apologising for all the general - and currently unavoidable - shortcomings of this section; and then to invite you all to Contact Me with any corrections, comments, or lists of inaccuracies.

I will, of course, be making corrections as I discover mistakes, so feedback for this section will be particularly welcome. As ever, full credit will be given to anyone who sends me anything I subsequently use.

So! Choose a chapter, have a rummage. Each chapter is independent, but you might want to start with Learn & Teach.

Note Well

I have uploaded this section in an almost skeletal format. This is partly because it is a very important aspect of the game; partly because the site was woefully incomplete without it; and partly because I've procrastinated so much over it, at the rate I'm going, it will never go live.

Needless to say, under these circumstances, the invitation to Contact Me with constructive criticism cannot be made too strenously. Thank you in advance for any feedback at all.

And don't worry: I will be updating, with or without feedback.
