The Bards' Guild - About clanlordbard.org

About clanlordbard.org

clanlordbard.org is a reference site for Delta Tao's massive multi-player online role playing game Clan Lord for the Macintosh computer.

Within this game, players have the unique capability to create and play real time music, using the Clan Lord Tune Format (CLTF). This format is described in the Writing Music section.

Before a player may play music within the game, they must first become a member of the Bards' Guild. Information on joining the Guild is described in the Be A Bard section.

Special thanks to Steven Linberg, Cheif Goblin at Silicon Goblin Technologies for hosting these pages.
