I have played this stick-figure RPG game daily since I read a small article about it in Gamer Informer magazine in2004 and it is by far the best game I have played in my life. It seriously has changed my life completely. I've been to several meets on the East coast and made so made real-life friends because of it- the community is fantastic. There are in-game clans, familiars, food, drinks, equipment, and of course there are monsters and bosses to defeat! All the "Adventures" are text-based and are chock-full of tongue-in-cheek references. The humor is top-notch with pop-culture references throughout. It's free but you can make a donation to receive an in-game item. Radio KoL s the official unofficial SHOUTcast radio channel that is run by player-dj's is the perfect accompaniment to this witty game. KoL pwns my soul.
