What's Redwall MUCK?
A MUCK is a multiplayer real-time virtual world, similar to an MMO, but text-based.
Players connect to the MUCK server, log in, and participate in ongoing interactive fiction as they travel among linked rooms and roleplay with others.
Our MUCK is set in the universe of Redwall, a series of children's books by author Brian Jacques. Because we are based on a children's book series, and welcome all ages, we require players' behavior to be consistent with juvenile literature. See Rating.
