And of course, there are weapon and armor shops in which to better equip your character. You can also go to Turgon's Warrior Training, to advance in level by entering combat with your master and defeating him, provided you have enough experience. You may also get a room at the Inn to protect yourself from other players, and for a steep price, bribe the bartender into letting you into another user's room to attack them. The Inn is a valuable place too, getting experience from flirting with Violet, the barmaid, and extra bonuses for hearing the music of Seth Able the Bard. The Forest is where you'll spend a lot of your time, killing monsters and collecting gold and experience points. You begin the game in Town Square, where there are several options available to you. You first choose your character class: the elusive and stealthy Thief, the powerful and honourable Death Knight, or the mystical spell weaving Magician. Legend of the Red Dragon is a multiplayer RPG.

LORD opened the floodgates for a wave of quality BBS RPGs for years to come.

Name of the game: Legend of the Red Dragon, or L.O.R.D.
