Overview tbaMUD is an acronym for The Builder Academy Multi User Dungeon. It is both a codebase that can be used by MUD owners, and a training MUD that can be used to learn about how MUD building and administration works.
TbaMUD is highly developed from the programming side, providing a highly stable, developed, organized, and well documented "blank slate" MUD on which a MUD owner can put their own ideas for spells, skills, and classes.
