Hogwarts Live RPG
Hogwarts Live RPG (HL), is the only game that matters (or at least the only one where you can insult a cursed coat rack and get cursed back).
This is a free, fan-made, text-based multiplayer RPG—which is just a fancy way of saying "brace yourself for a lot of reading, clicking, and poor life choices." Don't blame us if you rage-quit after getting obliterated by a sarcastic talking chair. You've been warned.
It's been around since 2004, which means it's survived MySpace, three global financial meltdowns, and multiple cursed reboots of beloved franchises. Don't know what MySpace is? It's older than TikTok, yet somehow still refuses to die (much like a certain franchise that rhymes with Larry Spotter). Hogwarts Live RPG is even accessible to the visually impaired (i.e., blind-accessible).
Create a character
to begin your questionable magical journey.
Now, before you get too excited and try to sue us for false advertising, no, this isn't an official Harry Potter game. This is a parody, which is Latin for "please don't sue us." It's also a text-based game, meaning you'll have to *gasp* use your imagination instead of relying on hyper-realistic graphics. If that's a dealbreaker, feel free to return to your hyperactive doomscrolling session—our dedicated community of text-loving nerds doesn't need you anyway.
Disclaimer (aka Please Don't Sue Us):
Hogwarts Live RPG is a fan-made, transformative work and parody.
Listen, we absolutely love Harry Potter. But we also love not getting sued by Warner Bros. That's why we need to tell you that this game is a parody and not affiliated with J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros., or any official entity associated with the Harry Potter series. We do not own Harry Potter, Hogwarts, or anything that might require a lawyer to write us a strongly worded letter.
All trademarks and copyrights related to the Harry Potter universe are the property of their respective owners.
The Nerds Behind the Madness:
Design of Game and Code: Eric Stevens & JT Traub
Textual modifications and some alterations to code by:
Danilo Stern-Sapad (aka Headmaster)
Nicholas Moline (aka Edmund) - System Administration (bug fixes, custom coding, and Linux administration)
Inee Ader - Certain Creatures, Pets, Weapons, & Armor
Carlos Torres (aka payazoloko) - Graphic Design (primarily for the HL logo, crest, and banners)
The staff and the modders.
What Even Is This Game?
Imagine if Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett (no affiliation with either) got together and had a baby and that baby grew up to create a Hogwarts-inspired fever dream.
That's the Hogwarts Live RPG. You start as a lowly magical student (read: n00b) and must fight, scheme, and meme your way up the ranks.
Along the way, you'll:
⚔️ Duel mystical creatures and rival students (some of whom may or may not be legally distinct versions of famous fictional characters).
🧹 Collect brooms, pets, and weapons (because nothing says "elite" witch or wizard like hoarding random magical junk).
🎭 Engage in unexpected, highly questionable side quests (we take no responsibility if you end up cursed, hexed, or emotionally damaged).
🌍 Experience pop culture references so dense they could collapse into a singularity.
🤝 Join a passionate community of fantasy, RPG, and parody fans who will absolutely judge you for your poor in-game decisions.

Legend of the Green Dragon
By Eric Stevens & JT Traub
LoGD version
1.1.1 Dragonprime Edition +hl
MightyE tells you, "Legend of the Green Dragon is a remake of and homage to the classic BBS Door game, Legend of the Red Dragon (aka LoRD) by Seth Able Robinson."
"LoRD is now owned by Gameport (http://www.gameport.com/bbs/lord.html), and they retain exclusive rights to the LoRD name and game.
That's why all content in Legend of the Green Dragon is new, with only a very few nods to the original game, such as the buxom barmaid, Violet, and the handsome bard, Seth."
"Although serious effort was made to preserve the original feel of the game, numerous departures were taken from the original game to enhance playability, and to adapt it to the web."
"LoGD (after version 0.9.7) is released under a Creative Commons License, which essentially means that the source code to the game, and all derivatives of the game must remain open and available upon request.
Version 0.9.7 and before are still available under the GNU General Public License though 0.9.7 will be the last release under that license.
To use any of the new features requires using the 1.0.0 code. You may explicitly not place code from versions after 0.9.7 into 0.9.7 and release the combined derivative work under the GPL."
"You may download the latest official version of LoGD at DragonPrime and you can play the Classic version at http://lotgd.net."
You should attempt to use this code only if you are comfortable with PHP and MySQL and willing to manually keep your code up to date."
"Additionally, there is an active modder community located at DragonPrime which may help you find additional features which you may wish to add to your game.
For these additional features you will find active support within the DragonPrime community."
"LoGD is programmed in PHP with a MySQL backend.
It is known to run on Windows and Linux with appropriate setups.
The core code has been actively written by Eric Stevens and JT Traub, with some pieces by other authors (denoted in the source at these locations), and the code has been released under a Creative Commons License.
Users of the source are bound to the terms therein.
The DragonPrime Development Team took over responsibility for code development on January 1st, 2006 and continues to maintain and add to features of the core code."
"Users of the source are free to view and modify the source, but original copyright information, and original text from the about page must be preserved, though they may be added to."
"We hope you enjoy the game!"
