For sysops

Link your BBS to our LORD Server. Your callers can play Legend of the Red Dragon with players from other boards, straight from a door on your BBS. Sign up for a key and add it to Synchronet, Mystic or other BBS software: how to link your BBS.

Join our Door Hub. Offer Legend of the Red Dragon, Ember Reach, The Broken Seal and The Long Wake to your callers, shared with players from other boards, in the same way as DoorParty: how to join the Door Hub.

Software

Section What it covers
LORD Server for Windows A Legend of the Red Dragon game server for Windows, in the manner of TWGS for TradeWars. Players telnet in, and BBSes link to it with an rlogin door. Several games per server, a live sysop console, a Windows service, DOS In-Game Modules in DOSBox-X, and BBS sign-up keys.
LORD FP (Free Pascal edition) Legend of the Red Dragon rebuilt in Free Pascal from lord.js, the JavaScript LORD that ships with Synchronet. A DOS door that drops into LORD 4.06, and a native Linux door. Complete games with source.
The Broken Seal A strategy game of officers, provinces and alliances, for Windows and Linux and in your web browser. Fight battles yourself on a hex field, and play online with friends: the computer plays the month of anyone who misses the deadline. Free software under the GNU GPL.
Sengoku: Road to Unification A strategy game of sixteenth-century Japan, for Windows and Linux and in your web browser. Govern provinces, make alliances and fight hex battles; play multi-player games online with up to eight players. Free software under the GNU GPL.
River Oath A strategy game of outlaw bands on a failing river, for Windows and Linux and in your web browser. Bring down the corrupt River Intendancy by petition, uprising or amnesty before the Great Flood, and keep the dikes standing; play online with up to six players. Free software under the GNU GPL.
Banners of Yunhe A strategy game of six rival houses in an invented realm, for Windows and Linux and in your web browser. Govern 18 cities, recruit officers, make alliances and fight animated hex battles with foot, archers and cavalry. Free software under the GNU GPL.
Banner of the Forty-Nine A strategy game of outlaw fellowships in the fictional Lian Empire. Illustrated provinces, portraits, town visits and hex battles for Windows, Linux and browsers. Solo or local hot-seat play; a separate game from River Oath.
Ember Reach A space strategy door game for Linux, Windows and DOS BBSes: houses, worlds and fleets across a star cluster whose lanes open and close. Computer houses, nightly news, a Hall of Fame, and a Lua bot. Free software under the GNU GPL.
Door Hub Shared door games for BBSes, like DoorParty. Member BBSes run a small connector that sends callers through an SSH tunnel to the hub, which runs the games on its own Synchronet. Hub and connector for Linux and Windows, with full set-up guides for both sides. Free software under the GNU GPL.
LORDKG Registration codes for LORD 4.06 and for LORD 4.07 / 4.08 Beta (made from the sysop name and BBS name), now that Gameport is gone and codes can no longer be bought. DOS and Python versions and a sysop-only Synchronet door, with the source. Free software under the GNU GPL.
Sticky Notes Coloured desktop notes for Windows and Linux, saved on your own computer, with optional sync between the computers in your home through a server on your own network. Free software under the GNU GPL.
Lantern Terminal A desktop terminal and connection manager for Windows and Linux: saved SSH/SFTP/Telnet/serial/local sessions, tabs, visual colour settings, logs and Python scripting. Installers, source and guides.
Saltbush Terminal A tabbed terminal for Windows and Linux: saved SSH/SFTP/RDP/Telnet/RLogin/serial/local sessions, split panes, tear-off tabs, a two-pane SFTP browser with resumable transfers, an SSH agent window, BBS support with CP437, the VGA font, a BBS Directory (Synchronet BBS List and Telnet BBS Guide), Zmodem, Ymodem, Xmodem and Kermit, Python/Lua scripting that runs Lantern and SyncTERM-Lua scripts, and update notifications. Installers, source and guides.
