Thanks, I'll try this out again sometime.

I tried it briefly but bounced off after the tutorial finished, I couldn't figure out what to do. Is reading the books required for enjoyment? I haven't read anything from the Disc…

Oh yes. It was one of my formative childhood experiences. My first mud was Alter Aeon, but I haven't played in almost 10 years. I enjoyed myself during the 5 years or so that I pla…

Yeah, the options for this are quite limited. The only ones I know of are Espeak (open source) but doesn't sound as good, and Eloquence, which is an abandoned product. The use case…
