Save the date! The annual TriadCity Halloween party is a week from today, Friday the 31st, 3pm to midnight Pacific time.

Plus: one night only, any exp gained inside the mansion will be multiplied by what floor you're on. Up to the attic: 8x exp. 1 night only. :)

See you there!

TriadCity's Museum of Technology and Society is open for adventuring.

The Tech explores the history of MUDs, MUSHes, MOOs, MMORPGs, and TriadCity, including some very fun images of cofounder Gary Smith hard at work in the early Zork era. We love it.

TriadCity's sprawling Virtual Vegas casino complex now implements 9 rich opportunities for NPC gambling.

Implication: many NPCs carrying cash, day and night. Which, if you're reading between our lines, can mean only one thing: rich pickin's for pickpockets!

Don't get caught.

Be our Guest!

It isn’t necessary to create an account if you’d simply like to check-out the games. You can log-in to TriadCity, Midgaard or Dungeon with a default "Guest" account providing limited access to the game worlds. Pop in, have a peek around, decide if it’s for you!

The next-best way to get to know TriadCity without actually visiting is through The Adventurer, TriadCity’s virtual newspaper.

You’ll find the issues here: www.smartmonsters.com/TriadCity/Ne....

Have a read, then have a visit! Meet you in The City!
