A Tale in the Desert Game Info
 
Description: A Tale in The Desert is a radically different massively multiplayer role-playing game. It contains no combat, no monsters, no player-killers, no swords or armor. Your character advances by completing, participating in, or leading large projects. Negotiation and politics play a very large role. The game has a plot that unfolds in response to player actions, and when the story is over, the game ends.
