High magic is in the music and the MUD!

Doc knows MUD can save the world, helping to feed everyone...but, more importantly, it’ll grow a bunch of super potent weed. Too bad his MUD has been stolen. Now it’s up to Doc and his crew to get his invention back, as they cross paths with angry girlfriends, the world’s worst case of gingivitis, and Doc’s one true weakness...perfectly pedicured toes.
