Tribes of the Moon Question
I am working an a Nightbane Campaign and I was looking through Rifters 4 & 5's Tribes of the Moon Article. It made me recall that years ago I saw something about an expanded information about them. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of that article? This would be much appreciated. As I tend to like the Tribes of the Moon.

Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
It was on the Author's website till it was hacked.
Last time I checked it takes a direct request to the author for the text.

Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
Emailed the Author he doesn't have a copy of the stuff collected. It's on his to do list. Does anyone have a copy of the info that used to be on the site they can share or know where I can find a copy.
Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
If anyone knows the URL of the old site we could check the archive.org machine to see if it saved a copy.
I don't understand why someone would want to hack the site of someone giving away interesting source material...

Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
I think the URL of the old site is the same as the current site. Though I am not positive on that.
Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
What's the current site? If I know the URL and what year to look for that'd be enough
Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
Here is the homepage for his TotM section as of 2002

'not found' with the OCCs and Tribes as well, getting tired of cut and paste..
I'm not sure if all of them were ever there to begin with though because the 'not found' errors appear in the 2002 archives. Possibly they were pages he planned to do but hadn't put up?
I only found one linked sub-page there which worked, about Customs:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020719150 ... stoms.html
Maybe knowing the file names could be helpful in searching for them for anyone who has a copy saved somewhere on their computer but forgot what folder they put them in.

Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
Fracking Awesome! Many thanks.
Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
Only the overview and customs pages though, I was also initially excited until realizing all the dead links, though it's less of a loss if not all of them were there to begin with. A lot of those pages were scrolled at the time and got non-display errors....
So this hacking definitely happened in 2009? If so that wouldn't explain why there were dead links in 2002...
Was the page you saw in 09 this one? https://web.archive.org/web/20071014085 ... index.html It seems like there was already problems as of 2007 regarding it being gone.
Apparently the same thing happened with his nations of blood project, except in this case he provides a PDF link like the PDF he proposed making for TotM as mentioned at https://web.archive.org/web/20110629161 ... index.html
I found an archive of it https://web.archive.org/web/20081121091 ... fBlood.pdf but it is unable to load for me. Does it load for anyone else? Not sure which end the problem is on.
There were 4 checks of a downloads page: https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://tr ... index.html it was down as of 2011, the 2007/2008/2010 checks all just had 2 files, the above-mentioned NatofBlood.pdf and a link to a magic item magor for d20 which never got archived.
Here is an archive of his Nightbane section: https://web.archive.org/web/20020719124 ... index.html
and here is Wormwood https://web.archive.org/web/20110628054 ... index.html
and Rifts https://web.archive.org/web/20020823235 ... index.html
Haven't checked the condition of these 3 pages sub-pages entirely, may be in better shape. The more traffic the pages got the more likely archive.org would have scanned them.
There was an HU section at some point but the machine tagged it too late, both checks have it down https://web.archive.org/web/20110702025 ... index.html

Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
I don't recall when it got hacked. I have the Nation of Blood PDF. It was the last thing I got before my hiatus.
The links have helped I am able to backtrack and find some of the pages that work. It does take some work to find a working version but I get there eventually. The help was much appreciated.

Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
If I missed any links to working pages, your sharing them would be appreciated or the Nation of Blood PDF that sounds pretty cool...
Do you think Trustrum would mind if one of us did a 'save page' on the archive and re-hosted these somewhere on an active site with a prettier URL? I can't remember if he still comes here.

Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
PM me in regards to the Nation of Blood PDF. You would have to contact Steven Trustrum about the rehosting question. You can contact him through his website. That was what I did and he responded within a couple of days. And As I find links that work I will post them.
Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
I just got this version up and it seems that all of the links do work.

Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
Nice find! I think I understand what happened, originally it was .html links which fail it, but the .php extensions do work.
Re: Tribes of the Moon Question
Yeah it took a bit of work. I got the main link bookmarked and am slowly copying and pasting it to Worpads so that I don't lose it if those sites ever go down.
