Getting Started:

Here's all you need to do to start playing TriadCity:

Step 1: Join SmartMonsters.

Simple: just click here and fill in the form. This is where you create your SmartMonsters login, choose your password, tell us your e-mail address, and the usual stuff. When you revisit our Web site in the future, you'll use this member ID and password to log in, giving you access to all the private member-only areas, including TriadCity.

Step 2: Create a TriadCity character.

Your Characters are the fictional personae you assume when you interact with the TriadCity game world. Whenever you visit Triad, you'll do so in character. You can create as many characters as you like, but only one of them can visit TriadCity at a time. Click here to fill in the form. (Make sure you've completed Step 1 first.)

Step 3: Set up your browser.

In the modern world there's not much required here. All current major browsers handle TriadCity with no special effort.

Step 4: Learn the Basic Commands.

You really only need to know about 15 commands to get started with TriadCity. The complete Command Reference is here. Check out the section called "Basic Commands".

"It is important to remember that any abstract story system ultimately refers to the sorrows and pleasures of human life and that the story of any event depends heavily on who is doing the telling. A storytelling system that further calcifies the distortions of stereotypical thinking would be as destructive as the most bigoted and bloodthirsty bard. We humans already do enough mechanical thinking without enlisting machines to help us."
