Legend of the Red Dragon In
Game
Module
In Game Modules were essentially
plug-ins for the
oldsk0ol BBS door game LORD (
aka L.O.R.D.). They were relatively easy to code, and allowed the uesr to do any number of things - such as acquiring items that were otherwise rare in the game, modifying
statistics (like who they were married to or how many
children they had), gambling, or other more useless things.
Any good
BBS would have two seperate
LORD games - one with, and one without
IGMs. However, there were some neglegent
SysOps that used
InterBBS LORD instead of
LordNET and serverely screwed over their users. Among the 'destructive'
IGMs which were either poorly coded (and had
loopholes) or simply allowed users to
twink themselves out. Some were very well made though and added even to the storyline of
LORD.
