[[Cthulhu MUD]] is one of many MUD (Read:Multi User Dungeon, essentially a text-based MMORPG) games, this one with a (surprise!) [[Cthulhu Mythos]] theme. While a bit more slash-happy than most investigator-style Lovecraft RPGs (say [[Call of Cthulhu]] ) it nevertheless stays true to [[HPH.P. Lovecraft|Lovecraft]]'s original works. Like most MUDs, iy is easy to join and free-to-play, but with a learning curve. An Urban Fantasy with all the Swords and Sorcery (and [[Eldritch Abomination|EldritchAbominations]] and [[Black Magic]]), but in a distinctly Lovecraftian setting.

Line 9:
* [[Becoming the Mask]] - The Mask Self spell (necessary for an Alien avoiding attention from the local police) will literally turn you into the target creature as far as the game in concerned, even limiting what equipment you can use and changing you name in chat.
* [[Cult|Cults]] - You can fight them or join them. Typically a [[Religion of Evil]] in the [[Cosmic Horror Story]] sense.
* [[Dream Land]] - The original Dreamlands of Lovecraft. And you [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|actually get there by dreaming]].
* [[Five Races]] - Instead of High Men or Elves you have Yithians, furry blue Zoogs instead of cute Gnomes, the (of course) mundane humans, the stout warrior Deep Ones, and Mi-Go as (abiet evil, technologically-advanced) fairies. All playable races, of course.
* [[Jack of All Trades]] - Humans can pick from nine starter professions, while the other races are limited to one or two. Of course, all races can change professions later.
