WELCOME TO
THE WATCHLIST.

You do not need to memorise the world before you enter it. A few practical steps are enough.

01

Connect to the game.

Use a MUD client to connect to mud.paroxysmrpg.com, port 3000. The website’s Discord sign-in is separate from your in-game character.

Connection details
02

Create someone worth playing.

Follow the game’s character creation process. Give your character a desire, a problem and a reason to speak to somebody else.

Explore archetypes
03

Find your bearings.

Try look, who and help. The community can help you navigate the parts that are still changing during alpha.

First commands
04

Put a face to the name.

Sign in with Discord to create a character wiki page and upload a portrait. Add public information and roleplay hooks that give other players an opening.
