I thought I'd share this on here for anyone that enjoys RPGs who hasn't come across it, and enjoys silliness.

It's a free to play browser based RPG that uses minimal resources and badly drawn graphics to entertain. You see rather than Warriors, Rangers, Clerics, Wizards etc you have a choice from:
  • Seal Clubber [Muscle] - can summon infernal seals to club
  • Turtle Tamer [Muscle] - can cast defensive shells
  • Pastamancer [Mystical] - can summon ramen and create advanced pasta based spells and meals.
  • Sauceror [Mystical] - can do advanced sauce crafting and cast sauce based spells and potions
  • Disco Bandit [Moxie] - can disco dance away from foes whilst sneakily stabbing them. Can also do advanced cocktail crafting.
  • Accordion Thief [Moxie] - uses accordion based music to strike fear into their foes. Can steal stuff and sneak into other guilds.
If you haven't worked out what kind of game this is from the above, then give it a try. The Toot Auriel will help you begin. You will visit strange and distant lands such as the Orc Chasm, Cobb's Knob, the 8 Bit Realm, The Copse of the Deep Fat Friars etc etc.

It's very silly (and clever) and the naughty sorceress must be defeated!

At the end of each expedition you get the chance to ascend. You can then be reincarnated and start again - either normally or in hardcore mode. Hardcore has the advantage that you can keep skills from your incarnation and take them into the next, thus becoming more powerful !

Finally, it doesn't consume all of your time as you get 40 adventures per day to use (although some spells will give you more, if you are desperate, and adventures do roll over up to 200).

Anyway, I'm off to beat the Knights in White Satin...
