Realmz is a fantasy adventure RPG released in 1994 that was noteworthy for its user-created scenarios and content.

Realmz is a fantasy role-playing game developed and published by Fantasoft. The player controls a group of up to six characters as they explore different scenarios. Characters can be one of 20 different classes ("castes") and one of 19 different races, although some race/class combinations are not permitted. Gameplay consists of exploring overworld, indoor, and dungeon locations, which are generally rendered using a 2D top-down perspective, although some dungeons also included faux first-person 3D sections. Combat situations also use top-down perspective, but the combat areas are expanded versions of the overworld/dungeon areas. A hallway which appears to be 1 tile-wide during exploration, for example, might be 4 tiles-wide in combat. The game was shipped with a selection of pre-made characters and scenarios, but players were also encouraged to create their own characters and scenarios. Realmz ceased development with thirteen official scenarios written and/or sanctioned by the developers. After its initial launch a development tool called Divinity was released, allowing for users to create their own custom scenarios to share with other players. The thirteen original scenarios, developed between 1994-2002, include:

City of Bywater
Prelude to Pestilence
Castle in the Clouds
Assault on Giant Mountain
White Dragon
Destroy the Necronomicon
Grilochs Revenge
Twin Sands of Time
Trouble in the Sword Lands
Half Truth
Mithril Vault
War in the Sword Lands
Wrath of the Mind Lords
