CthulhuMud is an online RPG (role playing game) based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft and the other writers of the Cthulhu Mythos. You can connect to CthulhuMud with any MUD (multi-user dungeon) client such as BeipMu, Our custom 64bit MUSHClient, Zmud or Fireclient. You can even use a simple telnet program, but the experience is much better in a true MUD client.

Some of CthulhuMUD's most notable features

• A huge world that is faithful to H. P. Lovecraft's source material, featuring the appropriate atmosphere, that is also ripe with secrets (and death) on every corner.
• A classless skill and level based system were a player can eventually learn all available skills and spells (which are literally several hundreds) in the game, if they dedicate themselves into doing so. Skills can be learnt in a variety of ways, even from other players. While they also improve through use or via the use of the practice system.
• Quests and mysteries to be solved that are either very faithful to the source material or, if entirely new, fitting the theme and writing of H. P. L.
• Pretty complex magic and sanity system.
• The dreaming system where characters can dream to an entire other plane of existence (the Dreamlands for those familiar with H. P. L.'s works).
• The lore accurate races.
• Ability to remort with no limit, each time making the character stronger.
• Subraces (were-creatures, liches, vampires) that are a permanent choice and addition to the character that modifies the play style of the character.
• Extensive help file system as the game features a lot of different complex systems.
