 ====== Furscape is... ======
-A MUCK set in the not-so-distant future.
+A place set in the not-so-distant future.
 A place where we say "let's pretend", but in a realistic manner.
-A MUCK with a hard science fiction setting where, oh, by the way, you can play a character that has fur/scales/feathers and a tail. But you don't have to.
+A place with a hard science fiction setting where, oh, by the way, you can play a character that has fur or scales or feathers and even a tail. But you don't have to.
+A place where players are encouraged to create original character concepts - within the setting's theme and rules - and then interact with others.
+A place where nothing happens to your character without your consent.
 ====== Furscape is not... ======
-Tapestries, Blue Velvet, or any other place with a primarily adult theme.
+Tapestries, Blue Velvet, or any other place with a primarily adult theme. What your adult-aged character does in the privacy of their bedroom with another consenting adult-aged character is nobody's business but those involved. But keep it there in the bedroom.
 The Haloverse. You aren't the Master Chief. But that's ok.
-Dark Angel. You are not the end result of a secret government program to create supermodel/supersoldiers.
+Dark Angel. You are not the end result of a secret government program to create supermodel supersoldiers. Or any other kind of supersoldier, for that matter.
 A galaxy far, far, away. Please check your Force sensitivities, blasters, and lightsabers at the door.
-Star Trek.  Leave the technobabble and handwavium to the experts.
+Star Trek.  Technobabble and handwavium have their places in science fiction, but not here.
-Pirates of the Caribbean.  While we do have space pirate characters, don't expect them to rescue themselves from slow death on an asteroid by using a pair of giant space turtles.
+Pirates of the Caribbean.  While we do have space pirate characters, don't expect them to rescue themselves from slow death on a deserted asteroid by using a pair of giant space turtles.
 Tooniversal Studios. Save those characters and their hijinks and enjoy them in their rightful place, Saturday morning, accompanied by a bowl of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.
+The World of Greyhawk. Our admins sometimes joke about robes and wizard hats, and swords are definitely in-theme, but keep sorcery where it belongs, at at table with dice and Mountain Dew.
