MU*s such as the Post-Self MUCK are distinguished from forums or IRC in that they are organized into ''rooms'', an imaginary place to which a character goes. These rooms each have descriptions, objects and other characters within them, and are separate in that conversations in one room cannot generally be heard from another. This lends a sort of spatiality to the roleplaying experience that is not found in other forms of chat roleplay. | [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MU* MU*s] such as the Post-Self MUCK are distinguished from forums or IRC in that they are organized into ''rooms'', an imaginary place to which a character goes.

You can find a short list of some of the features and commands of the Post-Self MUCK in particular [[MUCK commands|here]]. You do not need to know tons of lore to join us! All you need to know you can learn in [[What is Post-Self?]] and [[No-spoiler timeline|No-Spoiler Timeline]]. | |||
