BBS
The place where Bulletin Board Systems live on!
Post / Comment Guidelines
- Don't Spam.
- Don't be a jerk.
- Read the FAQ (TODO :)) when it's ready.
Reminisce with The BBS Documentary, viewable online here.
Find one of hundreds of BBSes running today using the lists found at The Telnet BBS Guide, BBS Guide, or IPTIA BBS Resource Site.
You will want to use a proper BBS compatible terminal to get the full experience: SyncTERM ^(win,mac,lin), Netrunner ^(win/lin), or mTelnet ^(win,os2)
Find oodles of software, text files, and people at The BBS Archives and The BBS Corner.
Create your own BBS with DayDream, EleBBS, Maximus, ENIGMA½, Mystic BBS, Renegade, Synchronet, or x/84.
fTelnet and HtmlTerm are Flash and HTML 5 telnet clients for access to BBSes via the web should you decide to start your own BBS.

Other BBS resources
- Break Into Chat WIKI - The Break Into Chat wiki was created to preserve the history of these and other BBS door games, after editors on Wikipedia began deleting door game articles.
If you are a SysOp or if you want your favorite BBS/Resource in the sidebar, drop one of the mods a line, and one will check it out. Please give the complete telnet address of the BBS so we can log in.

LORD never grabbed me, but holy crap Exitilus was an obsession for awhile. A buddy and I even wrote a tongue in cheek campaign back in the day, though only the narrative outline. Probably my favorite aspect was that after awhile, everyone got to know each other and just gifted back funds/loot after a PK - they gave so much experience that it's foolish to not try to off someone else, but losing all your stuff SUCKED so we found a happy medium.
Good times.
Sounds like a great time, awesome to play a game to maximize the fun! Gonna have to keep an eye out for an active Exitilus game!
