'''CthulhuMud''' is a'' "multi-user dungeon"'' ('''MUD'''), a text-based multi-user role-playing game. It can be played on the default Telenet, but using a actual mud browser such as free Fire Client is recommended.

==Description==
It is free-to-play and requires no confirmation. Like all MUDs, it contains no graphics and is controlled through entering keystrokes and simple phrases. The world, which includes the [[Dreamlands]], multiple locations on earth, and distant planets like [[Yuggoth]], is divided into areas or "rooms", each with their own description and inhabitants. It is one of the few mythos games that allows users to play non-human species.

Character grow in a fairly straightforward RPG style, where levels are earned by killing foes and completing quests, each level increasing the players' stats, granting access to new skills, and giving training and practice sessions that can be used in the presence of a trainer to increase and attributes skill levels.

Beginners are encouraged to run through the tutorial 'school'. Compared to most Cthulhu Mythos-based RPGs, CthulhuMud is fairly combat-oriented.

Player-killing is possible, and the game is moderated by users know as "Immortals". Character must eat and drink regularly to keep themselves alive.

To play, open and MUD client and set host to cthulhumud.com and port to 8889.
