Welcome to Tel'Laerad

Hello and welcome to Tel'Laerad, the Tree of Worlds; an online home for roleplaying groups, fantasy fans, gamers, chatters, and anyone else looking for a place to socialise, chat, and have fun. We provide free realtime chat, roleplaying, and forums for communities, groups, and everyone, because we think gaming and good conversation are awesome.

Tel'Laerad IRC Network

Our IRC network provides for realtime conversation, allowing anyone to join existing channels, or create their own for their own groups or communities, and easily embed them into their website using our AJAX webclient. To connect now, just click "IRC" in the menu above. If you want to get your community or group an IRC channel, check out our guide, and you can be chatting in no time.

Our IRC network doesn't stop at just chatting, as we also run text-based games, and have specialised extensions to make online roleplaying quick and easy, including dice rolling and NPC commands; indeed, providing one of the best ways to roleplay online in realtime is one of our aims. For a list of current roleplaying groups on Tel'Laerad, and their channels, just look here, and feel free to join in.

Tel'Laerad Forums and Wiki

We also run forums, for a slower pace of communication, and a wiki, to store information for roleplaying groups and other communities. If you run a community or roleplaying group and could use your own forum, with forum moderator access, just contact the staff and we'll be glad to help.

So Who Are You, Anyway?

If you want more information about us, who we are, and Tel'Laerad's history, you need look no further.

Tel'Laerad Games Night

Do you like playing games?  Do you like talking on IRC?  Are you alive?

If you've answered 'yes' to any of these, you may be interested in Tel'Laerad Games Night!  The premise is simple- on Monday, June 7th, anyone interested meets in #tellaerad, at which point people decide what game to play.  That's all there is to it!

Full information is available at http://tellaerad.net/wiki/Games_Night, and you can always ask a staff member for more information.

Stop by for a night of fun without expectation!

Nethack Port Change

For all you bold @'s out there, be aware that Tel'Laerad's NetHack SSH port has changed from 2012 to 22.  It's a big change, numerically speaking, and it's certainly enough to ruin plans for a night of gaming.

Good luck! (You are going to need it)

(Reminder to all: the address is rpg@rpg.tellaerad.net, password rpg.  Telnet access is the same host, port 1337)

Myself, I'm stuck at that bloody gnome with the wand of death who appears to show up in every game.

Tel'Laerad Wesnoth Tournament!

The next Tel'Laerad tournament will be a Wesnoth-based competition!

This tournament will take place on April 17th and 18th, culminating in an awesome battle for dominance.  Any strategist interested in gaining eternal glory and the envy of their peers, please sign up in this thread!

If you've never played Wesnoth, or are just getting into the swing of things, feel free to read http://tellaerad.net/wiki/Wesnoth and join #wesnoth for practice games.  Remember- fancers may be annoying now, but just wait until they level up and slaughter half of your forces.  Cheap bloody fencers.
