Mudy Quest



An imageboard-based RPG styled as a text adventure, similar in style and pace to the game to start the genre, Ruby Quest, created and run by a man who goes by the name "Reaver".

It begins with a kobold named Mudy awakening within a small box. He is teleported to a world of fantasy, and promptly sets out to claim a kingdom as his own. It only gets better from there.

The archives can be found here. WARNING: Some of the threads there contain some NSFW material.

This game provides examples of:
 * A Date with Rosie Palms: At one point Raital walks in on Mudy rubbing his nose, the kobold equivalent of this trope.
 * And Then John Was a Zombie: Ivar and Rune, a pair of paladins who were forced into servitude under Calavera upon losing a battle of wits.
 * Anyone Can Die: Sometimes, averted. Other times, not so much.
 * Artifact of Doom:
 * Art Evolution: And HOW!
 * Author Appeal: Given this and his other quests, it's pretty clear Reaver has some sort of...interest in . So if you're expecting a plot twist, you're going to be disappointed.
 * Badass Normal: Mudy has no powers  and relies solely on his own charisma and his allies to forge through problems.
 * Big Screwed-Up Family and Royally Screwed-Up: The Blutjaegers spent all their childhoods in an ancient abandoned citadel, training to become powerful warriors and destroyers, with a loveless hellspawn as a mother and no father of any kind. Even those of them that did not grow up to become depraved and psychotic monsters share some rather odd personality quirks.
 * Cuteness Proximity:
 * Development Hell
 * Fan Service: Ample amounts, particularly regarding Darkmoon Dagger.
 * Fan Disservice: Cheryl the sandworm and Axebeard during the Hot Springs Episode deserve special mention.
 * Getting Crap Past the Radar: The Oracle sculpture "looks kind of familiar" in several different ways...
 * Heroic BSOD:
 * Hot Springs Episode: Also contains a minor Shout-Out to Ruby Quest.
 * Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Lucinus the Serpent King
 * Kavorka Man: Mudy has a way of inadvertently seducing/arousing almost all of the females he encounters, often accidentally.
 * Kissing Under the Influence: A mind-controlling slave collar made forced Mudy to kiss a Blutjaeger.
 * Mayfly-December Romance: Darkmoon? 922 years old. Totenkopf? Eleven.
 * Merged Reality: At one point just as things seem truly fucked,  It works.
 * Moment Killer: Hans and Gunther, several times. Their physical appearance does not help.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: "Blutjaeger" translates to "Bloodhunter".
 * No Periods, Period: Averted with Darkmoon, for comic relief.
 * Nosebleed: All of the Blutjaegers, to the point of a running gag.
 * Only Sane Man: Bladetree.
 * One-Man Army: Stormplague the bounty hunter. Several Blutjaegers would seem to count as well.
 * Panty Shot:
 * Quirky Miniboss Squad: The Blutjaegers.
 * Rebellious Princess: Raital.
 * Royals Who Actually Do Something: The Blutjaegers, princes and princesses all, are quite active.
 * Running Gag:
 * Shout-Out: The Ruby Quest one in the Hot Springs Episode. There's also a character that bears a suspicious resemblance to the lead of Weaver's Dive Quest.
 * Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace
 * Those Two Guys: Hans and Gunther. They also like apples.
 * Tsundere: Raital.
 * Wholesome Crossdresser: Mudy, after his makeover in Firewater.
 * Not to mention that he's wearing panties for the majority of the quest.
