Wyldwood Bayou Beckons!

Starfleet or shaman, medieval merchant or merman, it's that time again, and you're welcome to the Open Market Roleplay event on Wyldwood Bayou grid. There are two roleplay groups here, Ravenquest and Brigantia. Come along and learn about other RP groups in opensim, and help keep the roleplay community vibrant!

Organized by Contessa Lacombe and Fitheach Eun, this is a chance to share what you know and maybe dip your toe in roleplay. Not a recruitment drive so much as a way to better know what's available out there across the archipelago of grids and groups that actively tell stories in a dramatic immersive way. I asked Tessa how she got started.

Rock On

It's not the news that anyone wanted to hear, that 3rd Rock Grid will be closing its doors in May.  The longevity of the grid, and the circumstances that have led to its likely demise, make the news even more upsetting. But, I say, let's be positive. 

Write Plaza, da Vinci

Why be positive? First of all, because of all the wonderful places, events, and people of the grid who have given residents and visitors alike a dozen or more years of great memories. 

Wolf Leaps Forward

 When a grid migrates its servers to a new rl location, it's often quite a tricky process. Just the words 'grid migration' have your average opensim resident shaking in their thigh length boots, admit it.
But that's not always the case... sometimes it can go as smooth as a silk, or the silky fur of a Wolf...

That was the case today, when Wolf Territories Grid announced they have moved their

Littlefield Eleven

Littlefield Grid turns 11 years old as an independent grid and they're celebrating!

From Nasa to Firestorm, Littlefield Grid is celebrating the past and the future

There's a special Anniversary region on the grid where many of the grid's residents have set up displays that illustrate the range of builds that you can visit here. There's also a gallery that explains the history of Stonehaven, from the days of SL onwards.

Egg Static

Hunting easter eggs - it's your classic springtime activity, and once again Nani Ferguson and Ange Menges have been working on a delightful storybook build that, as usual, will be open right around the holiday weekend, and then gone for good. 

The build is, of course, not yet open - hey Easter isn't until the end of the month! 

This sneak peek gives you an idea of the charming style of the region, called Dhoglin, and located on OSGrid. 

The regular Safari tours are on a break, but there will be a special event for hunt lovers, at the usual time, 12 noon SLT or 9pm in Europe, on Wednesday 3 April, if you want to come and join in the fun!

IDD - Great Idea

 This photograph was blatantly stolen in the night from Zoree Jupiter, there, I said it. 

And what a night it was! 

A night of 30 minute music sets on a special region AMV International,  showcasing singers from around the world, and celebrating the vibrant and fascinating multicultural community we're all part of. 
 The celebration of all things international is of course in the air with the HIE event coming up in April 19-21. HIE is a sort of opensim convention, with a big but simple Expo 

Safari meets its Speculoos

So this was it, the final mass gridjump of crazy Safarians from SharingIsCaring to Speculoos. This Belgian-but-a-bit-caribbean-with-a-side of welsh grid has some idiosyncrasies, in particular when it comes to Inv and Lms, making it a little bit of a challenge to reach, but perhaps we needed to stretch our ingenuity muscles. And it was certainly worth it to see one of the most unusual builds in opensim, Brussels' famous Grand Place flooded and turned into a tropical beach. Global warming, anyone?
