Lampi's Legends

Lampithaler Artist's latest build Cloudshead Worldheart is an enchantment of pixels. To have a heart as big as the world, to have your head in the clouds, that describes the perfect intersection between childhood dreams and artistic inspiration.

The region is all islands, of improbable shapes, and the main party is inside the biggest, almost pumpkin like, but with a distinctly bark-like feel to the outer shell.

Inside, in the base, is the dance floor where we foregathered to enjoy dome tunes ably dished out by DJ Marlon Wayne. 

Safari Magic

And we're off with another season of Safari! Some glitchiness on HG Safari region, but we all seemed to overcome it one way or another, and landed on Wizardry, the freebie shopping region of CyberGlo's grid, Cyberdatastorm. As usual all HG Addresses are at the end of the post.

It was so great to have the usual gang back together, plus some new friends joining us for the first time.

Star Ravenhurst: Hi Lifted! I missed you all! GTS everyone!

Taarna Welles: Hear hear

lifted pixel: Hello! :3

Kelso Uxlay: It looks like people have trouble to TP from HGSafari Clubhouse... I moved back home and jumped from there

lifted pixel: yeah i went back to sandbox plaza and here, no problem

Thirza Ember: we can beat any tp problems LOL

lifted pixel: Safari is Authorized!

Forest Azure: ah, the hop worked

We landed in a beautiful meadow full of flowers.

CyberGlo CyberStar: welcome

Nara Nook: Hi Cyberglo

Safari on Europa

 Second destination for the premiere of the Spring Season of Safari  - Europa! 

This region on Wolf Territories Grid opened a while back, (HG address is, of course, at the end of the post as usual) with a big party celebrating its Mall, stocked with avies, outfits andmesh objects with a sci-fi fantasy twist. 

About 15 of us made it over, and while the lag definitely played some tricks with outfits, Text chat, and people frozen here and there, on the whole it held up pretty well, and experienced safaristas will often just cam to where the people are even if they can't move. So it all worked out pretty well.

The arrival area was full of light, strange signs, and these dancing androids...

Safari Heads Out Again!

 Yay and we're off once again on Safari this Wednesday at 12.00SLT as usual for a two hour trip! 

The familiar courtyard... the LMs and the drama llama await you

Yes, yet another ten week season of tours to places of interest on a variety of grids, some big some small. We will see all sorts once again this season, from the machines of Leonardo DaVinci, to fantastic sci fi spaces, and then also, there will be opportunities to improve your Mariner skills, your zombie-avoidance techniques, and to learn more about scripted objects, art, and the community of opensim... 

We will be celebrating a few milestones too, for example, in May the Safari celebrates ten years from that first trip that led to all these others. Wow where does the time go.

See you on Wednesday at the clubhouse, if you can make it...

HIE 2024 Starts !

Yesterday at 11am Pacific, the Hypergrid International Expo kicked off with three hours of music. The HIE expo regions are on Craft grid, you can get to them by coming to craft-world.org:8002:HIE Welcome and use the portals to get to HIE 2, HIE 3 and HIE 4, where all the fun takes place.

And what music! The divine Zoree Jupiter kicked things off with a truly beautiful set of Fado, the traditional portuguese songs of love, passion and of course, 'fado' or fate, destiny...

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
