Old Website

Here is the archive of my old Geocities GarouMUSH site with its links (many broken) and associated pages.

Most people are simply interested in the log section of that website. I’ve started converting them to blog posts, which makes them searchable, tagged, categorized, and dated. Until that’s done, here’s links to all the “unblogified” logs I had on Geocities.

Teachings & Preachings

Moots and Other Seasonal Disasters

  • (2/14/00) Feralia 2000 (37K) A rare view of the Striders doing their thing. Unfortunately, the Wyrm pays a courtesy call.

Rites of Passage & Other Cub Tricks

Combats & Mayhem

Gatherings

  • Fangs including Thorn.(38K)
  • (4/10/95) Gathering for those who died during the Ice King battle. (18K)

Sepdet RP

Newer Stuff
  • (7/01) Sebastian returns from an umbral adventure and receives Sepdet’s usual odd touch.
  • 10/7/00 Sepdet Challenges Brian. In more ways than one.
  • RobinLogs. Joseph went off on a dreamquest, to purify himself before his fiancé’s arrival. And he didn’t come back. Sepdet’s personal world is still reeling from all this, and it’s really good RP.
  • (11/10/00) Waiting for the Warrior Sepdet can’t fight with those who killed Chloe. She and Robin play the role of women the world over instead.
  • (11/19/00) Robin’s house. Just some more wonderful, perfect roleplay.
  • (2/26/01) We’ve got a problem. Sepdet reports a dire discovery to Robin & Joseph.
Old Stuff
  • 11/96: Broom lizard. This is the “cheerful” Sep I’m always alluding to: Groundskeeper, cub teacher, bright star of Whispers on the Wind.
  • (9/28/95) Sepdet Sings the Dawn with Joseph, not long after his arrival and the start of their friendship.(20K)
  • Wheel Dancing. This is how Sepdet tended the caern while she was Groundskeeper. Ah, innocence of youth! (37K)
  • (10/95) Sebek, a precious glimpse of Sepdet’s lost brother (Shattered Truths Plot). The Gnawers helped her rescue him from the Dancers. Little did she know it was far, far too late. (39K)
  • (1/96) Sepdet’s Harbinger Test. Most of it, anyhow. ;) (59K)
  • (1/98) Sepdet’s encounter with a water-spirit breaks her phobia of deep water, the hard way.(28K)
  • (10/95) Another vision of Sepdet‘s run by Adele.
  • Timeline of Sepdet from 1994-1996. Someday I really need to get back to this.
  • Sepdet’s cubhood. This isn’t roleplay. Just a brief glimpse of what she was.
  • The full Sebek Logs from Slick’s Shattered Truths plot have been reposted. I still think they make great browsing. I’m biased. There’s some fine glimpses of Eligio, Anubis, Quiet, Hazmat, and Chloe herself.
  • Extract from Sepdet’s app, her cubhood as told by her mother (the last two paragraphs were added in Jan 95); plus a short dream sequence I wrote later of what she was like as a cub. Yes, her background is twinky. This were different when I started on Garou!

Others’ RP

random folks
  • Bigfoot Scare. Glissa, Garou CounterIntelligence Agent, reports back to base.
  • The Case of the Contemplative Coyote–if this doesn’t amuse you then you need counselling. (20K)
  • (dinotime) Red Talons: a classics staredown. Humans kill; wolves are more civilized.
  • Jade gives new gifts to pack Ouroboros. I played the snake. (5K)
  • CafeWar. Rholeen’s totally inconsequential RP was better than many player’s important roleplay.

Chloe-related

  • New: (6/98) Sepdet and Chloe sing, and then talk of their respective tentative positions in sept and chantry.
  • (10/95) meeting a mage. First encounter. Long ago, when they were children and Sepdet was still a city Garou patrolling Regan Street. (39K)
  • (11/95) Metamorphosis. Betrayed and nearly killed by her brother, broken in mind and body, Sepdet meets the strange mage-lady a second time and is changed forever.
  • (11/95) Brief glimpse of Chloe at the beginning of the log of Sebek’s death. That was the beginning. This is the end:
  • (10/23/00) Great Train Bane: A bizarre spirit-encounter for Sep & Rik, and Chloe finds Sepdet possessed
  • (10/24/00) Chloe wows Squall
  • (10/25/00) Chloe’s Death
  • (10/25/00) Brian comes to mourn
And the mess continues…

Pack Whispers on the Wind
  • (12/95) Whispers on the Wind is born on a winter’s night after a long hard fall. (20K)
  • (2/96) Excerpts from Whispers’ year-long Totemquest: see especially The Silver River.
  • (1/22/98) Ishikor 1 and 2: One of the pack’s many odd umbral adventures. This one into a magical storybook land.
  • Investigating a river-bane: One of Whispers’ old missions.
  • (5/96) Twilight Zone. Whispers-on-the-Wind’s patrols during the new moon occasionally went very badly, since they were on umbral duty year round. This time they got stuck in the Mirror Zone, and it ain’t pretty. (49K)

Major events, plots

The Collapse of the Wheel Renewed
    In 1996, the Wheel Renewed was critically weakened by a mad mage and his agents, dropped from power 4 to 2. Many, many people participated in many adventures trying to fix it. Eventually, a Wyld fetish was used to try to regenerate it, and the rite destroyed the Wheel Renewed’s totems, then, after a few bleak weeks in which it looked dead forever, it was reforged into the present-day caern. Here are just a few logs I happen to have kicking about.

  • (5/22/96) Sepdet’s foolish attempt to sacrifice her Harbinger’s gift to help strengthen the Wheel Renewed (because it was a caern of Vision as well as Strength) . Dream she received.
  • (7/24/97) Z-minus 3 days. The Rite led by Quiet which was meant to heal the Wheel Renewed.
  • (8/22/97) Post-mortem by Andrea and others after the Wheel Renewed died.

Valley of the Dinosaurs
