The year is 2065.
The world has changed. Ravaging diseases and computer viruses
have brought humanity the brink of disaster.
Magic has returned
to the world allowing those with the will to use it,
extraordinary powers and abilities.
The lines between
man and machine have blurred as science finds new ways to
incorporate cybernetic wonders into flesh. Data pirates in the
new world called Deckers, interface with the virtual reality of
the matrix to plunder one of the worlds remaining commodities;
information.

Unexplained Genetic Expression as it is called
changed the race lines from color to species as
Trolls, Elves, and other creatures of legend emerged
from all walks of life. Corporations who are powers
unto themselves put on a warm and fuzzy face to the
public while striking each other in silent shadow
wars using freelance agents known as Shadowrunners.
This is
Shadowrun, and the setting for the MUD known as
Deckeon. For nearly a decade Deckeon has strived to
recreate the Third edition Shadowrun game in a role
playing enforced MUD.

Deckeon is a Shadowrun MUD. What is a MUD you may ask? Some call it Multi User Dungeon, others Multi User Delusion. Just think 'text based Shadowrun game with other people' If you didn't know what a MUD was, well you probably still won't so log on in and try it out for yourself!
Deckeon can be found at deckeon.mine.nu port:2065, and there are several ways that you can connect to it.
One way is by clicking here which will open your default telnet program and connect to the MUD.
Several specialized MUD clients also exist, ranging from free to pricy. See our links page for more details on these clients.
A java alternative can be found by going to Mud Connector or directly here. Simply select Deckeon from the list and hit connect.
The question isn't what to do, more like what do you want to do?
Be a Shaman or Mage, wield mystical forces, conjure forth spirits of nature or elementals and have them do your bidding. As a Physical Adept you magic is focused towards improving you body and martial abilities into the stuff of legend.
