An online text-based role playing game is a role-playing game played online using a solely text-based interface.
 Online text-based role playing games date to 1978, with the creation of "MUD1", which began the MUD heritage that culminates in today's MMORPGs.

Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers is a best-selling science fiction comedy novel by Grant Naylor, the collective name for Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, co-creators and writers of the "Red Dwarf" television series, on which the novel is based.
 First published in 1989, the novel presents the plotline of the TV series as a cohesive linear narrative, providing expanded backstory of the Red Dwarf world and more fully developing each of the characters, particularly Lister and Rimmer.
 The book incorporates elements and scenes from the first and second-season episodes "The End", "Future Echoes", "Kryten", "Me²" and "Better Than Life".
 In 1990 the book was followed by a sequel, "Better Than Life".

A play-by-post role-playing game (or sim) is an online text-based role-playing game in which players interact with each other and a predefined environment via text.

 This activity is closely related to both interactive fiction and collaborative writing.
 Compared to other roleplaying game formats, this type tends to have the loosest rulesets.
