Hard to say as I never was into D & D. Just that I knew the rationale for
calling the topics "rooms" was based on players leaving messages and clews
for other participants in the various rooms. After I ditched the Citadel
I ran an RBBS for my confuser store as a single line dial-up w/2400 BAUSD
US Robotics modem.
