Not there yet kids. A couple of problems popped up and until we are assured that the move will be glitch free, we'll stay put. It will be soon though and we'll keep you updated on our progress.
In that vein: My site email has been down for a couple of weeks. So, if anyone has tried to contact me via that email, that's why I've not responded. Please send emails to: oblique.dragoness@inbox.com
(and though we don't anticipate any problems; it's a good idea to back up your handles).
SD will be moving to a newer faster better server. The switch will take place over the weekend. As always please back up your handles but we do not anticipate any problems. Please check for updates and we will let you know as soon as everything is completed.
Any questions please email our tech @ tech@sanguinemdraconis.net
once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far, away (hummm, I think I've heard that somewhere before):
Sanguinem Draconis would like to welcome to public status: Star Wars Saga
It is a time of bloodshed as bands of rebels attempt to form together in the ruins of a once peaceful Republic to stand against a tyrannical Galactic Empire. After the extermination of the Jedi Order at the hands of the newly risen Galactic Empire for various "crimes", brave individuals have stood up against the impending tyranny by standing for democracy, for rights, for liberty, and for freedom. Some have sat aside plowshares to take up blasters, others have stopped driving their grav cars and have taken up starships. What will you do in the face of tyranny? Enter a galaxy at war at your own peril.
Attention Players! Please welcome the new room, Apocalypse Z to public status.
No one knows how it started and the rumors are all over the map. Biological warfare from a terrorist. Mutated strain of a bird or swine flu. Voodoo curse. Wrath of God. Wrath of Allah. Radiation mutations. Monkey bite. Military experiments. Some even say it's simple evolution. Either way it started one year ago.
Z Day they call it. The first incident was in the Avenal, California prison. Initially, it was reported as a prison riot and no one panicked when it was over. The government kept everything quiet while they investigated. Little did they know people who had been affected by the attack went home and it spread.
We all know how these things go. Shortly after the entire town was infected... then more towns in the U.S. popped up with the infection. And towns and cities in other countries quickly followed.
Inspired by books like World War Z, games like Dead Rising and the films of George Romero, welcome to survival horror--Welcome to Apocalypse Z.

We've all heard of things that go bump in the night: werewolves, vampires, ghouls, goblins, etc. Vicious, merciless creatures that hunt in the night and take no prisoners. They are the things of nightmares, and they strike terror in our hearts. We can only take comfort in the fact that they aren't real.
...Or, so we thought.
Like the uncharted lands on old maps, here there be monsters. The streets of Nightfall are haunted by dark figures and sinister plots. Nobody is safe, and everybody has something to hide. So, come take a walk on the dangerous side of the night
Japan, 1175 Heian. A time of refinement, elegance and art. But the spirits of old will not die and the sun now sets on the once great city. Warriors gather to the north, demons gather in the forest. Yet in the city of Heian - the aristocracy drinks, fornicates and spends money as they have for decades. And for the first time - an affair in the court may lead to the fall of a city.
Meanwhile, in the Western land of Koryo, civil war has broken out among the nobility and chaos has spread from city to countryside. The water god himself, Habaek, has gone missing during the chaos and a similar civil war has spread to the immortals. How long until the chaos spreads to Heian and Yanjing?
We'd like to welcome back to public status our Serenity/FireFly room:
Take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out to the black Tell them I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me There's no place I can be Since I found Serenity But you can't take the sky from me... by: Joss Whedon Performed by: Sonny Rhodes
Take a while to look around, explore the forest, relax in the Byron's Rest Tavern,
or even explore Castle Keriathill in your spare time...
Mystic Forest is a land blessed by its people's Goddess, the Lady Mystica, who walks among mortals from time to time in the form of her Children, the Mystic Elves.
The woman who's image I've used to personify Witch for years has passed at the age of 85. This saddens me in ways you probably wouldn't understand. I picked Bettie Page's images almost 10 yrs. ago, not for her sexy, saucy poses (well, not entirely anyway): But because I loved the look on her face; And when people told her no, she did what the hell she wanted to do, when the hell she wanted to do it...EXACTLY the way she wanted to do it.
I am sad, but she lived a long, note-worthy life. A trail blazer for women...regardless of the trail she chose. Good-bye Bettie and give continue to give 'em hell and do things your own way!
It's only the hottest new storyline to come out of the Athenaeum since the last hot new storyline.
Imagine a city, run by corrupted officials and bought-off police, where streets have fallen into disrepair and whole sections of the city are no longer used by either businesses or by anyone who lives there. A city truly run by crews of drivers in cars that have been turned into rolling death machines, mounted with automatic weapons and explosives, oil slicks and flash grenades, and reinforced with armor plating.
The crews run high-stakes races for prizes ranging from valuable car parts and cash to territory, for those drivers good enough to take it. The street organizers run the biggest crews and have their own turf and territory inside the city, while the racers may or may not belong to a crew at all. The police are bought and paid for by the drivers, so that a blind eye is turned to their activities, as well as those of the arms dealers who run the guns into the city for them.
Come one, come all to the Sanguinem Draconis Costume party!
Everyone who would like to come creates a new OOC handle as a "costume". People who have not registered on the site in awhile, are encouraged to create new logins to add to the mix.
Through the course of chatting during the party, everyone will make a list of who they think each handle belongs to. The day after, the lists will be compared and whoever has the most right, wins! The prize is webspace, and bragging rights that you know everyone behind the "disguise"
With the exception of administration, everyone has a chance at winning the webspace
Date: October 31, 2008(Friday) Time: 7:00 EST-whenever
We would like to welcome, The Athenaeum, to Sanguinem Draconis. A free form roleplay room for those of you who don't want to limit yourself to a single type of storyline. Drop by and say hello!
I just wanted to give you guys a little update. The site is definately seeing more activity. As you know, we have a new, wonderful room with a dedicated staff (Fractured Fairytales). Registrations have been on the increase for awhile.
What you don't see pubicly, but we as admins do see in who is on; PRs are made every night. Quite a few of them and they are populated heavily. These people are visiting other rooms, investigating possible rp and checking out storylines. So, if you're interested in getting the life's blood of your realms flowing again, this is definitely an opportune time to do so.
I myself am more of a presence on the site once again. And *gasp* I might even rp again. You don't need medical attention, do you? *grins*
And once more I would like to thank all of you, everyONE of you, for sticking with SD through trying and unpleasant times. Your loyalty and devotion has touched me deeply, all the of SD staff as a matter of fact. It stuns me, that in this time of fair weather chatters, you have remained steadfast.
We may not be, or ever be the biggest chat site out there...but forgive me if I think we are the best. And most of that is due to you guys, your chatters and my wonderful staff. Thank you again and....come on home.
The Legion is still here, there is still a Scourge presence with tension between he Alliance and the Horde. All storylines and such pertaining to the Warcraft universe, past, present, and up and coming. (Timelines in past games, books, lore, etc). So bring your characters you play in the game to rp in the room and for those who haven't ever played the game to get a glimpse into the rich universe of Azeroth and Outland.
Sanguinem Draconis warmly welcomes, Fractured Fairytales, to our little community.
Welcome to Fractured Fairytales.
The Story: Everybody grows up with fairy tales. Be it Grimm's, Mother Goose, or tales of your own design, there are countless stories that simply love to be told. However, as we grow, fairy tales get pushed aside in favor of real life, and those stories that want so badly to be told remain, chained by life and silent, in the backs of our minds. But not anymore. Here, finally, is a place for those fairy tales to emerge, to grow, and to flourish. The classics, and brand new tales, and old tales with a new twist abound inside this room. If you have a tale to tell, come in and sit a spell. We're always waiting to hear more fractured fairy tales.
I would like to welcome some of our people back home to Sanguinem Draconis. And I would also like to add that anyone that wishes to come back, are certainly welcome. No hard feelings, no questions asked. The past is just that, the past. Re-hashing it will do no good. We can only leave it where it belongs and hopefully move foward.
/the end
Addendum
Now that I have had the proper amount of caffine (is there any such thing?) and a hot shower; I want to clear up some things:
1) No one, NO ONE was banned from SD. If you think you have been or someone has speculated that you have been, they are wrong. If you've tried logging in and found your account gone, well, that is because the system removes accounts if they have not been logged into for 90 days. It's built into the ER code and we have not gone though the trouble of changing it. No, you were NOT banned.
2) Most of the realms no longer on the public list have been moved to hybrid. Not all, but most. Some for sentimental reasons...others *shrug* because they were not.
3) SD has been in the past, and continues to be, based on community. Sometimes communities have problems and fall apart. There were lots of problems a few months ago, some technical, some personal. The strength of a community depends upon the people that form it. All of you have always been the heart and soul of SD.
I have been told that many of those problems can be laid at my feet. And that is nothing but harsh truth. I apologize to you all for letting you down. I claim them and own them and can only say I'm sorry for making mistakes. I am, after all, only human (sadly).
That I could have, and should have, risen above the bullshit and acted accordingly, is without question. Again, I can only offer you all my sincere apologies.
4) Don't let the past dictate the future. If you want to come home (SD will always be your homes no matter where you go)...Then do so. I assure you again, no hard feelings, no questions, no attitude (*grins* what attitude?). I'm not begging, I'm offering.
5) Those of you who have, and have had my phone number. Feel free to call me if you wish to discuss things.
6) To those of you who have already found your way home. Have a cookie.
