I've always loved roleplaying games, ever since me and my brother bought the first swedish version of Dungeons and Dragons long ago. Since then i've played all versions of that game (it's quite a bit different from the english version), Star Wars the RPG, MegaTraveller and some Traveller:The New Era. Then I discovered online RPG's, or so I thought. I started MUDing, late in 1994. I soon found MUD's a bit lacking in roleplaying, though, and heard about MUShes, so I immediately went to try out the first one I found the adress for, which happened to be the first StarWars MUSH. I created a character named Zaphod, who was later @nuked for having been recruited as a spy OOCly, and replaced by Rickenbacker (since I wanted a pilot in the Imperial Navy, and had just read Edward V. Rickenbacker's "Fighting the flying circus").

I had some fun on SW1, but in april of 1995 I got tired of the MUSH never going IC, and checked out SW3, or The Minos Cluster, which was the latest StarWars MUSH, and I fell in love at first sight/type. The space system was simple and fun, the people were wild and wonderful and I got my second Rickenbacker char (Not counting my brief show on OtherMUSH). I've been there since then, you can read a description of my char here if you like.

Mowitz (witz), a swedish Warbirds flyer, created a MUSH based on mine, Toad's, Kais' and Doc Doom's stories on the ICI BBS, and Rickenbacker (the WB pilot) does of course exist there as well. Lately I've also gotten chars on SW: Beyond Chaos (Rickenbacker), and SW:Brak Sector (Rickenbacker again, read his story here).

I've also written a short MUSH Mini-FAQ for all those who are just starting MUSHing, or want to know what MUSHes are, and a little list of MUSH terms. It's written mainly for the Wingless Cafe MUSH, but applies to PennMUSH (the most common) in general.
