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.

Setting up your Character

When you first arrive on the Muck, you will be asked to do some basic setup of your character. The text you get will be rather long, and often scroll off the screen when followed by the bulletin and other information. You can review the text with the command look. The three tasks listed must be completed before the Muck will allow you to enter the rest of the gaming world.

All of these things can be changed at a later date, so these are not life altering decisions.

Setting your Character's Gender

Your character's gender (or sex) is stored on a property on your character. There are several ways to set it, but the easiest is with the command listed when you logged in:

@set me=sex:female

or:

@set me=sex:male

You can set your gender to be anything you really want. For example there are a number of hermaphrodites and she-males wandering the Muck.

Setting your Character's Species

It is assumed that your character is a bipedal animal of some sort, so most of the time this is a fairly simple thing to do. The following commands are examples of how to set your species:

@set me=species:cheetah
@set me=species:wolf
@set me=species:badger

You can of course be anything you want with the exceptions listed in Policy Humans.

Describing your Character

When you look at someone, you will see a description of what their character looks like. This is the next thing you need to set. In general this should be described as the person will see when they look at your character, rather than telling them how they feel about it. Try and keep your description objective.

This will almost certainly take some work to flesh out later. Most descriptions range from 1000 to 2000 or more characters in length. The initial one you set here will likely be very short unless you are already experienced with Mud use.

This is an example of how to set a very basic description:

@desc me=You see a lanky cheetah wearing a black t-shirt and old worn jeans.

Entering the World of Tapestries

After you have set yourself up, you can enter the world of the Muck itself with the command furry. This will put you in the homeless shelter, from there you want to use the command out to exit onto Dragon's Way. There are usually a few people there, and you should see something like:

Town Center: Dragon's Way
Dragon's Way, like many of the "roads" in the area, is simply a wide footpath.
 It is lined by thick pine trees on either side, with brass lamp posts spaced
 out along it. The buildings of the local government rest in the trees to each
 side, as well as a smaller path that wanders around the Town Hall and to the
 Temple Mount to the west. The path deadends to the north in a thick forest.
 Snow covers the land, crunchy under your paw, and an ocasional gust of wind
 blows the pouder around. The trails are only recognizable beacuse by the
 paths of compacted snow, otherwise lost under it. The sun is up and the lamps
 are out. The trees provide shade for most of the area, keeping the daylight
 pleasant.

 Shelter (ne), Town Hall (w) ]

Getting Help

If you have problems with these directions and need assistance, you can use the command helpstaff, which will give you a list of people that can help you. These are volunteers who are offering their time to their fellow users to aid them using the Muck. An example of it's output is:

Displaying List: Helpstaff
