NukeFire MUD - Dive into the Wasteland

About NukeFire

NukeFire is a Sci-Fi themed MUD that emerged from the ashes of the legendary TDome MUD, which ran for nearly 30 years before ending in 2023.

Our developers are longtime players and administrators of TDome who spent countless hours in that world and wanted to continue that tradition. After years of development, NukeFire represents both a familiar experience and an evolution of the original vision.

Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where technology and survival intersect, NukeFire offers a unique experience where the future has merged with chaos. Every decision you make affects your survival in this harsh environment.

Character Classes

Choose from 10 base classes and 7 prestige classes, each with unique abilities and progression paths.

Assassin

Enigmatic figures known for pursuing high-stakes targets. Methods are shrouded in secrecy and marked by cruelty.

Barbarian

Mighty and fearless fighters capable of taking on most adversaries. Rely on curists for healing and spellcasters for powerful magic.

Curist

Devout followers of ancient traditions who channel power of their gods. Power for both self-benefit and aiding others.

Cyborg

Technologically advanced humans with genetic enhancements and cybernetic implants. Gain special abilities and vulnerabilities while retaining most humanity.

Knight

Holy warriors trained in both combat and crucial skills. Exemplify valor and honor. Inspired by legendary figures like Arthur and Charlemagne.

Mutant

Survivors of radiation poisoning in desolate regions. Evolved into unique beings that are both wretched and powerful.

Ranger

Guardians of the wilderness. Skilled trackers and masters of natural terrain. Unique abilities to aid in traversing the wild and overcoming obstacles.

Samurai

Prestigious and disciplined warriors. Masters of martial combat and the ancient code of bushido. Forge their bodies and souls into instruments of honor and skill.

Spell-slinger

Wield potent spells, unmatched by most other muds. Prefer to avoid melee combat as heavy armor hinders spellcasting.

Development & History

Learn about NukeFire's origins and development journey

NukeFire was inspired by TDome, a MUD that ran for about 30 years, ending in 2023. The NukeFire team spent many years as players in that world and wanted to continue that tradition.

Development began around 2022 with intensive work since then. As of April 2024, the project has had 15,000 code commits and the development pace remains high. While maintaining familiar command structure and feel for those familiar with TBAMud/Circle lineage, almost everything has been rewritten based on the vision of continuing the TDome tradition.

All combat mechanics, skills, and areas have been rewritten or replaced. Players should not expect a "stock experience" - it's been significantly customized to create a unique wasteland environment.
