An Adventurer Is You!

Kingdom of Loathing (KoL) is a humorous, browser-based, free multiplayer role playing game.

It is notable for its use of hand-drawn stick figure graphics and writing characterized by surreal humor, word play, parody and references to pop culture. In KoL, players fight monsters for experience, meat (the game's currency), and items, through a turn-based system. Players also interact with each other through player versus player competition, participate in the in-game economy by trading goods and services, organize themselves into clans, and speak to each other in many different chat channels.

Players are allotted forty adventures every rollover, though they can increase that number with various equipment and items. Additional adventures can be acquired by consuming food, booze, and spleen-damaging items. However, only a limited amount of each can be consumed each day, and drinking too much booze puts the character into a drunken stupor for the remainder of the day. Rollover is essentially a rest period for each character; drunkenness, fullness, and spleen damage are reset to zero, and minor amounts of HP and MP are restored. Although a player can accumulate a large number of adventures, the number is reduced to 200 at rollover.

Players can combine items by using "meat paste", which is made from currency. They can also cook food, mix cocktails ("cocktailcrafting"), smith weapons and armor ("meatsmithing"), and make jewelry ("jewelrycrafting"). Some items can only be created by players with a certain skill, which makes them rarer and more valuable (for instance, Saucerors and Pastamancers have access to skills that together make some of the best foods in the game, and Disco Bandits have access to a skill that allows them to make some of the best drinks in the game). Players may also make items such as the "Chef-in-the-box" or "Bartender-in-the-box" to cook or mix drinks for them without consuming adventures (these items have a limited number of uses, after which they explode). Updates and new content are frequent occurrences.

I've been playing this game 4 years now (under a different name), and I still love it. yes.gif

The internet provides yet again with its endless bounty. The game peaked my interest just for the use of the word "Moxie" a013.gif
