LORD : best BBS and software pls reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tarball-qc · 2020-03-08 18:16 Hello ​ I recently discorvered LORD. Such an amazing game. Now im trying to find an active BBS to play and compete with others. Also, i would like to know which client are you using, on Windows and Mac. ​ edit : we have create our own BBS with tons of games : [telnet.games](https://telnet.games) port 23 :) ​ Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rmiles7721 · 2020-03-08 18:22 Several BBSes with active games. I don't know for sure but any of them connected to BBSLink and DoorParty probably have the most active players I prefer Netrunner as a telnet client. Everyone has their favorites though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tarball-qc · 2020-03-08 18:31 I was using riptel. will give netrunner a try. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nevarro · 2020-03-08 21:10 Hi tarball-qc, I'm sysop of The Realm of Serion BBS. Legend of the Red Dragon (LORD) is the featured door game on the BBS and has many active players. You're welcome to join! The BBS website is [https://serionbbs.com](https://serionbbs.com). For the LORD Tournament, we offer prizes. The current tournament began back in January, but there are some casual players in this game as well. As far as a client, SyncTerm for Windows has worked best for me and can be found here: [https://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm/](https://sourceforge.net/p rojects/syncterm/) I find SyncTerm has the smallest learning curve and is very stable, however, there are other good clients out there, such as Qodem and Netrunner. I have used both of these clients and they work well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HernBurford · 2020-03-09 00:10 I was just playing the the LORD tourney on Serion and wanted to mention it but you beat me to it! Unfortunately, I had to travel for three weeks for work and pretty much dropped out of the game. If you are a Unix geek like me, you can run Qodem. It really replicates the feel of the 90's DOS comm software that I used at the time. [http://qodem.sourceforge.net/](http://qodem.sourceforge.net/) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- resmungomandinga · 2020-03-09 02:00 I play on Bitsunrise,.com among others. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- DJLunacy · 2020-03-09 05:49 People still recently discovering the game warms my heart. Nothing like waiting for the phone line to be free. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nevarro · 2020-03-09 13:20 Nice! Next time I'm on Linux, I'll check it out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scrutinizer80 · 2020-03-09 13:55 I use Terminate on DosBox. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arelas404 · 2020-03-09 14:07 \+1 for Netrunner. I really like the scaling it supports. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arelas404 · 2020-03-09 14:08 Things are starting to pick up for LORD on The Vortex. ([vortexbbs.com](https://vortexbbs.com)) Feel free to call and check it out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arelas404 · 2020-03-09 14:09 I'm definitely going to have to call and check that out. I've been crazy busy the last few weeks but I'm hoping to start making the rounds on several boards soon. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arelas404 · 2020-03-09 14:11 I really want to try this. Back in the day, I always alternated between Terminate and Qmodem Pro. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rmiles7721 · 2020-03-09 14:30 That's the main reason I like it. On Windows most of the other telnet clients you have two choices. Either full-screen or teeny tiny ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scrutinizer80 · 2020-03-09 15:56 It works perfectly with DosBox's modem emulation. just ATD to the address. ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nevarro · 2020-03-10 00:52 Now that sounds like fun ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ShooterJennings · 2020-03-16 23:31 My bbs Bit Sunrise (bitsunrise.com) has a pretty active game base, especially Lord. We are developing our third game as well for our game server (bcrgames.com). We run Wildcat! And we use syncterm.
