Online since 1998, jointhesaga.com started with the original space opera text-based real-time roleplaying game, OtherSpace.

Over the years, new games have been developed under this umbrella, including the alternate Star Wars history Reach of the Empire, original-theme fantasy Chiaroscuro, and afterlife fantasy Necromundus.

Our games, a subspecies of Multi-User Dimensions (MUDs) known as MUSHes, require low bandwidth but high creativity.

Players from all over the world create characters and immerse themselves in our stories, which they help shape over time in an experience that's part tabletop RPG, part fiction writing, and part improvisational theater.

Start your adventure by perusing our Wiki or logging on directly at jointhesaga.com 3005 or jointhesaga.com 1790.

OtherSpace: The Farthest Star
GRAND ENAJ, SIVAD - Abermarle Stillman, inheritor of the estate of the late Peter Delarme, confirmed today that he is funding an expedition to try and contact Kip Caspar on the Kamir homeworld of Nocturn.

"Charles Wallington Harkness has secured passage with a ship and crew willing to make the journey," Stillman said.

He declined to go into extensive details about the plans for the voyage, saying, "Mr. Harkness wants a story. I'll leave it to him to tell it once the expedition returns."

Chiaroscuro

LIONSGATE - Two months after the formation of House Valoria, the Royal Office of Census and Excise has declared that "errant" Kahars and Mikins will be considered "rogue" Nobles as of midnight, and demoted to the social rank of Freelander.

Though a rare occurrence, it is in line with Royal Law regarding "bastard" Nobles, which cites that any Un-Housed Nobles become Freelanders after a month of being abandoned. Such laws were established to prevent the formations of "rogue" Houses shortly after Fastheld was founded and the Six Great Houses brought into union.

The law has only ever had to be brought into play on such a wide scale on three or four documented occasions: When House Carwell has vanquished when the Kingdom was established, when House Vozhdya was defeated in Fastheld's infancy, and when the sub-House Vozhd-Kahar was disbanded a few years ago.

It has, however, seen numerous uses throughout documented history as Nobles have either been disowned from their House or have been exiled from the realm entirely.
