"You are in the outer chamber of the hall of the Guild of Free Adventurers. Many men and women are guzzling beer and there is loud singing and laughter..." —Eamon Master

A lively gathering of friends. (Feast scene from the Bayeux Tapestry, c. 1075)

Eamon is a community-driven game, one that throughout its history has depended on creators sharing their work to grow, and on players sharing with friends to spread; it thrives on interaction. While the community is smaller than in years past, it still has active and committed adherents who keep the torches burning in the Main Hall.

This page links useful online resources both in the Eamon community and in the broader worlds of Apple II computing, computer-based text adventures, and interactive fiction.
