The Zork Library Forum

I am currently designing a pen-and-paper system based on Zork. If anyone is interested in working on this project with me, post your interests here and I'll work out who does what.

Things needed so far:
- Map of Zork including RTZ, ZN and ZGI locations.
- Spell Checker system
- A list of important people (eg Boos, Rebecca Snoot)
- Item and weapon lists (costs etc can be worked later)
- class and race system (plan to have trolls as a race)

Any and all help will be appreciated and credit will be given when my site is up and running.

I recently sent an email to Activision inquiring about the rights to publish this RPG if it becomes popular enough. I have yet to get a reply from them.

Just letting you know that the system is almost finished. If anyone is interested, I am more than happy to host the files of my website and create links here.

Sure you can create a link to TZL. As for hosting you lost me...

What I meant was that if people were interested, I will type it up (as it's only written roughly on paper atm) and post the links to the files here. They will be hosted on my website.

Up to you really, typing it all up seems pointless if they can just d/l the files. Give me a URL and I can link to the files OR I can host them as well.

My forums are up and running, though still under construction. Feel free to join and help out with rules and the like.

I'm adding a GM section soon (also known as the Dungeon Master section) which you need to apply for. This will allow fellow DMs to discuss their campaign and rule ideas as well as give advice.

The website is: http://s10.invisionfree.com/Adventures_ ... /index.php <--(modified to be clickable... DAT)

Please join, here are some of the features:
1. Forum based RPG, post when you want to.
2. Guilds to join for each class
3. Be a Grue, Troll, Fairy or Human
4. Stay at Foozle Bay Apartments in the homely town of Port Foozle.
5. Visit major Zork landmarks such as the Forest of the Spirits, Flood Control Dam #3 (now destroyed) and GUE Tech.
6. Cast the spells from ZGI as well as many other spells.

Please be patient.  The Zork Library is the most "active" zork-related place on the internet; it'll take some time for your site to get even infrequent users.

I've added a link to your forum in the Wikipedia entry for Zork, which should increase traffic.  How does your forum work?

Also, if you want maps and images and other fun stuff, check out:

(although it looks like I ate up his bandwidth downloading game box covers to put on Wikipedia)

My forum is set up to run an ongoing post-based RPG. You can either apply to become a DM to start your own campaign, or join my current campaign.

i am stil working out some of the rules, but it works fine at the moment. You create a character using the rules in the Basic Rules section and you can begin posting when I approve your character.

You get yor own 'character box' where you can post your character's details, which will be password protected. Any help to improve the site will be considered.
