RPGs weren't always glorious, lavish epics with cutting edge graphics, intense character development, voice acting and entire world to explore. No, they started out more simply. With pen, paper and people's imaginations.
Some people have sought to reclaim that nostalgic means of playing, by creating browser-based, free, online RPGs which rely primarily on text. Any graphics are extremely rudimentary, and the main focus is on the game's writing and the player's ability to use his or her imagination to bring the game to life.
Interested? Gamertell's put together a list of three games, Kingdom of Loathing, Muffins! and Legend of the Red Dragon. If you're looking to give a free text-based RPG a try, any of these three games is a fantastic place to start..." />
