What's New

There are also separate "What's New" pages for the Chaos and Amber home pages.

27 May 02

Several new trumps of PCs have appeared on on players pages in the past 6 months or so. Check out Kyasi, Jarath, Galiena, Diana, Aleanor, Tahion, Constantina, Michelina, and Shoshana if you haven't already.

7 November 01

Tips for submitting a good trump description request to the run trump artist are now on the mechanics page.

1 November 01

Nothing at all is new. You must be imagining it. [Feel free to notice inconsistencies in character, if you notice any, or to ask for clarifications.] I'll try to get recent events up in the near future.

1 October 01

Some more trump lists updated.

8 August 01

I've added a link to a list of all your remailer aliases, for those who've forgetten. Those who are shapeshifters: most of you are missing demon form aliases. Check out the remailer information page for guidelines on how to pick these.

31 July 01

Welcome to the new and improved Hydra website. I'm sure you'll all notice some broken links or other goof ups here and there; please e-mail me the url and I'll try to fix it. Links to trump descriptions are currently still largely broken, so don't complain about those.

The biggest actual improvements are on the pages for the player characters. You should find on your secret page a link to a directory with lots of useful stuff like mail archives and logs from the remailer and the mud. The remailer instructions are back (minus the address to hopefully prevent piles of mail from the clueless) and I'll be putting mud help on the Mechanics page at some future point. Also in the future, more content (I'm taking suggestions for more House Words, Chaosites), a mobile edition, & more trumps.

22 July 01

Major overhaul mostly complete. It's mostly a new look and some recoding to make it possible to have a mobile edition (yay AvantGo & palm pilots!) and to use style sheets. There's also some reorganization and the start of some new content. Also, please welcome the new players who will be starting soon.

3 July 00

I've started a major overhaul: cleaning up broken stuff, bring things up to date, and maybe produce a compact form to fit in Illidor's tiny brain.

21 March 00

For those with athena access, watch for remailer logs to appear in your hydra directories in the next couple weeks. Those without athena accounts, web versions will probably appear eventually.

20 August 98

A bit of vampiric silliness during the interim while the GM writes a thesis.

1 August 97

The new list of available ranks.

24 March 97

ADVANCED POWERS section of the rules is complete. Enjoy.

20 March 97

Artifact and creature worksheet added; see rules for more details. Advanced powers section nearly completed, more details on character advancement, general editing to the rules.

10 January 97

Online trump decks for all the players are finished, please put a link to your trump deck from your secret page if I haven't already. (URL is stuff.mit.edu/people/endeavor/Hydra/your-secret-dir/trump-deck.html.)

6 December 96

Instructions and rules for the remailer added and linked to both the top level page and the rules page.
