SoylentNews is people

from the stuff-we-can-add-... dept.

So, I've recently revived my gaming streak, and for as long as I've gamed, I've always enjoyed interacting with others. As such, I'm curious what games SN folks play. I've been strongly tempted to setup a Minecraft server for SoylentNews, but I don't really want to put in the effort if no one else is interested in playing. So, here's my simple question for the community; what games do you play, and would you want to play on an SN hosted server?

I'm tempted to make any gaming-related things be a subscriber perk, as an attempt to both increase subscriber benefits, and make such a target harder to grief. Not sure if it's a great idea, so I'd love to get feedback below.

    I tend to waste a lot of time playing text-based games:

    Mostly Discworld MUD [starturtle.net], a multi-user game based on the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett.
    This game has thousands of hand-written rooms, I've been playing for almost ten years and even now I regularly walk into something new.

    Or the roguelike Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup [develz.org] (they make a version with graphics as well, if you're not a fan of ascii-art).

    What's your name on Discworld?!? Not that I play, or have ever played...
