Tales of Zalanthas
-
Not sure if anyone else saw this, but Armageddon Mud is coming back as Tales of Zalanthas. The home page has some good changes listed. It might be a fun return to form.

I was reading through all the quality of life improvements and theme changes and feeling increasingly optimistic until I got to:
ERP will not be supported. The focus of Tales of Zalanthas is swords and sorcery; exploration, ambition, danger, and survival in a harsh world. Intimacy may exist off-screen as part of story, but explicit sexual content or sexual violence will not be part of the game or allowed.
NO SEX ALLOWED IN THE DESERT.
I don’t know if that kind of policy in 2026 is gonna play out how they want.

What surprises me is that they say they use AI in their code development process, and their code is over 120,000 lines. As a direct comparison, the code for Silent Heaven is only 44,625 lines, including comments. Both projects use Evennia. Something feels off, like their AI character that has a hand coming out of its leg as it rides a hotdog that has a second skin.
I’m not calling them out or anything. It just doesn’t line up with my experience.
