Is Tapestries for You?

Tapestries MUCK is a BDSM themed Furry MUCK. This themes involving BDSM and furries in sexual situations. Further, all players are expected to interact as non-human characters. It is a free form roleplaying environment with no combat or other gaming system.

If this interests you, then Tapestries may be a good place for you. If any of this makes you uncomfortable, you may wish to go somewhere else.

Read the Policies

The Policies are the Terms of Service (TOS) of the Muck. You are expected to know and understand them to play on the system.

Creating a Character

Creating the actual character is a muti-step process:

  1. Make sure that you are not blocking mail from fur.com. You need to receive your email to be able to complete this process.
  2. Fill out the Registration Form.
    • Double check your email address and character name.
    • Write down your character name and password.
  3. Submit the form.
    • You may have to do this again if the character name you selected is already taken, see the below section for help there.
  4. Check your email.
    • Email is sent to you immediately on completing the form, it includes a key you must use to authenticate your request.
  5. Authenticate your email address following the directions in the email you received.
  6. Wait 48 to 72 hours for the form to be processed, and check your mail.
    • When the process is complete you will receive email notifying you that your character is ready to play.

Choosing a Character Name

With 18,500+ accounts on Tapestries MUCK at this time, it's sometimes hard to find a name that is free. In a roleplaying environment names like Andy99 are somewhat frowned on. Thus it's usually wise to make something up that is unique to your character.

If you really want that first name, sometimes adding a made up lastname can help. You only have twenty characters, so this can be difficult at times. The normal way to add a last name is in the format of Firstname_Lastname.

If you can't come up with something on your own, get help! The Fantasy Name Generator is a great tool for this.

Getting a Client

You need a special client to use a MUCK with out a lot of suffering. See MUCK Clients. There are plenty of free ones for every operating system imaginable, so this should not cost you a dime.

Logging in the First Time

Your client program will need to know a few things to log you into Tapestries:

  • The name of the Muck: Tapestries MUCK
  • The address of the Muck: tapestries.fur.com
  • The port of the Muck: 2069
  • Your character name.
  • Your character's password.

It may also need to know what type of system it is. Look for an option that resembles TinyMUCK or TinyMUD if it asks.

At this point, you should be able to connect to the Muck, and start using it.
