I’ve thought for a long time about setting up an old BBS. Inviting people to play Legend of the Red Dragon and Usurper. Well done.

I have been playing LoRD here and other places for a while

http://lord.stabs.org/playlord.html

I used to host LoRD and Usurper on a local Renegade BBS back in the mid 90s

I used to connect to that exact BBS over dialup in the early 90s. I'm old.
