TrollKeep is a multi-player, turn based, game world which has been in software and game play development since 1987. It was formally known as T.K.C. (Thy Kingdom Come) running on the now defunct, bilby.com.

Starting only with map and piece movement mechanics, features have evolved and changed through game testing and player input over a number of years. The game has taken on aspects of both role playing and board stratigy styles of gaming. It is configurable, wherever possible, from an Owner's Menu. Race, Skills, Armour AC, etc, etc. can all be altered to fit a particular scenario.

Although more maps have been added since the early days, the original map and character continuity has been running off and on since 1987. It first went offline for a year and a half in 1989 when I was in the process of changing over from DOS to Linux.

In 1997 I took down bilby.com and so the game. It was placed away on the upper shelf contained in a hard drive. That drive has been dusted off and installed in a Fedora 4 Workstation. It looks like game development may be back underway! :)

There have been generations of characters in the game files which were recently unearthed from 1997. With procreation option configured on, I mean that literally. Some noble game families can trace their lineage back through game history for many generation.

That is not to mean that new warriors are not welcome nor is the game stacked against them. This world is still vast and filled with much wilderness where young warriors may make their mark.

Players are encouraged read through the TrollKeep Help files before creating a character..

New Players are always welcome additions to the online GM'ed scenarios being played through our forum
