Delicious Bunny Love


The Your Inner Bunny Hunt has two wonderful skins that instantly made me think of roleplay characters.  Both skins are 1L.  You can read more about the Your Inner Bunny Hunt at

If you search for a group called "Please Make This In SL" and check notices you'll find this hair with color change hud courtesy of (love) hair.  The color change feather attachment is optional.

KnickKnack


There is a lucky chair outside of KnickKnack that has themed clothing for men, women and slaves that would be great in a variety of themed sims. The great thing about outfits from KnickKnack is they are so versatile with multiple layers and wear options so you can customize for your character.

LaVie Vigo


I want to try to do more posts for the guys.  Finding good themed gifts and deals is a bit harder for men than it is for women but there definitely are some good ones out there.  Vigo is always a favorite for roleplayers because of the quality and generosity.  The group LaVie reguarly offers free skins for both men and women.  There is a $300L fee to join but it's a good investment as it's less than the price of just one skin.  Exile has three male hair styles all in fatpacks of 40 colors.



Outfit 1: "Odysseus Brown" Lucky Chair in the square at Vigo
Outfit 2 "Jack brown" Mini Mania upstairs at Vigo
Skin: " Andre SE" in Store Group Gift at LaVie (note a $ 300L fee to join this group)

Creative Chaos D!va


There are 10 group gifts as well as freebies and dollarbies available at Creative Chaos that would be great for women playing in Medieval or  Fantasy themed sims. With a few minor adjustments or modesty shirts these could also work in some Gorean sims.

Vigo Al Vulo


I sometimes forget to blog about Vigo because I think everyone must know about their generosity and incredible selection of clothing for roleplay.  In case there are some that might not, Vigo has four mini manias upstairs and several lucky chairs around the market. When I won the Keira outfit I thought it would work well with this month's group gift skin at Al Vulo.

Yasum Amacci Exile


I read about a sarong from Yasum on Chic at Phil's Place blog http://chicatphilsplace.blogspot.com/ and I thought it would make a cute outfit for slaves.
Outfit: "Elfenground*Candy Bond*" in store group gift in blue and grey at Yasum http://slurl.com/secondlife/Fathom/185/84/27

Themed On Location


This was originally posted over a year ago but I'd like to revive it.

Roleplayers are such an interesting group of people. They love to talk about their characters and the places they play. I often get notecards or messages telling me about sales, group gifts, freebies and other items that might be suitable for roleplaying. I also run into a lot of people who give me landmarks and information about the places they play.

I’d like to expand this blog to include not only items to roleplay in Second life when you are on a budget, but also feature the places where you can play those characters. Unfortunately I’m not sure that I have the time to showcase all the various RP themes and sims out there so this is where I thought you could come in to help.

If you would like to have pictures of the places you roleplay and the characters you’ve created shown on this blog send me a notecard with the following details.

Avatar name: if you don’t want your name used please let me know and I'll withold it
Character name: if different than above
Pictures: A maximum of three images of your character in an SL roleplay sim
Character bio: A brief description of who your character is and what role they play
Roleplay Location: Include the sim name, SLURL, and a brief description of the theme of the roleplay (although there are hundreds of beautiful sims in Second Life, I’d like to focus on roleplay venues only)

What your character is wearing:
I know many people don’t want their unique look to be imitated but here is your chance to show others the hard work you put into creating your personal style and character. Please include as much information as you are comfortable sharing including store name, store SLURL, and item name. Your character does not need to be wearing any free items, but if they are that would be a great bonus and in keeping with my goal of helping people roleplay on a budget.

Send the notecard entitled Themed On Location and pictures to GoreanGoodies Shuffle and I’ll put them up on this blog as soon as I can. This isn’t a contest, there is no prize. It’s just an opportunity to share a little about your roleplay, your sim, and your character with like minded people.

I hope you have fun with this. I’m looking forward to showcasing some of the amazing characters and places I’ve seen in my grid travels.

Gorean Information Center LaVie


I dropped by the Gorean Information Center a few weeks ago and received an IM letting me know that the freebie skybox had been updated to include items donated several designers, content created specifically for the GIC, as well as retired items from Vigo.

When you arrive at the Gorean Information Center, click the teleporter and chose “Freebie Area” to get to the skybox. Items range from free to 10L. In addition to clothing you can find weapons, animations, accessories and a wide range of notecards and information about Gor.  Here is a sample.


Join the LaVie Skins and Shapes group to receive this months free gift. The group is currently free to join but will be soon be charging a 300L fee so you want to get in now. Wearing your group tag, pay 1L to the month gift sign in store at LaVie to receive this tattoed Andre skin in two tones.

Fashion for Life


Cancer touches all of us in some way, right now I can imagine that you are thinking of someone who is a survivor or who survives in your memory. I am.

Every year I’m touched by the designers and builders, who endeavor to spend countless hours for causes in which are bigger then all of us; you change the world with your pixels. Thank you. G4B

Hunting Season


There are many hunts this month and a few would be great for roleplayers. I haven’t yet had a chance to get most of the items so I’m going to give just the basic details for now.


Hunt for RP March 1 – March 31, 2011

The name of this one got my attention. There are 73 participants and many of them gorean. See the blog for a list of merchants http://huntforrp.blogspot.com/  There is no publicized list of hints and the prize locations will be changing.

Starting location http://slurl.com/secondlife/Brooklyns%20Finest/13/15/601 but this hunt loops so you can pick it up at any of the locations.


Steam the Hunt March 1 – March 31, 2011

Usually one of my favorite hunts of the year for all the cool gadgets and accessories.

See the blog http://steamthehunt.blogspot.com/ for details about the stores involved and preview of some of the items. Appears to be 193 participating locations at last count.

Starting location http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mieville%20Doyle/79/72/26


Twisted Hunt March 1 – March 31, 2011

Great gifts for the more devious minded and darker characters, this years theme is Nevermore. It has historically been one of the most difficult hunts on the grid with 250 partipating locations. The prizes are moved around so hint lists and SLurls can be outdated.

See the blog http://twistedhunt.com/ for more information and prize previews.


If you compare the participants list there are some merchants listed in more than one of these hunts so you might be able to pick up multiple gifts while you are there. Be sure to read and click the signs at the locations, many will give hints and offer groups to join that can be not only helpful but fun to chat.
Good luck and Happy Hunting.

Mother Goose's LoQ Roawenwood (and a message about resize scripts)


It's well worth a trip to check out the 21 lucky boards for skins at Mother Goose's. Many of them would be great inspiration for a roleplay character in a variety of genres. The subscribomatic gift at LoQ is a hairstyle that is partially a hair tattoo; a first for me. The combination I put together might seem a bit fierce looking for silks and camisks but I liked the contrasting ideas in these characters.


Skin: "HENA(2)B0" lucky board at .::Mother Goose's::.
Hair: "Tiramisu Auburn and hairbase tattoo" subscribo gift at LoQ Hairs
Outfit: "Andromeda in Green" with long skirt and belt lucky chair at Roawenwood

Skin: "Oyat_LB" lucky board at .::Mother Goose's::.
Hair: "Tiramisu dark brown and hairbase tattoo" subscribo gift at LoQ Hairs
Outfit: "Andromeda in Green" with short skirt lucky chair at Roawenwood

Roawenwood is newly reopened with a whole new look. In celebration the lucky chair prizes have been changed.  After two days of trying I just couldn't win the mardi gras outfit but I have the two other prizes to show you. As one of the sponsors of the upcoming Twisted hunt, Roawenwood will be hosting a mini hunt within the hunt on March 1. Subscribe to Roawenwood and stay tuned for more details.

The scribish looking fellow on my shoulder was a tip sent to me inworld via notecard today.

Skin: "Choi_LB" lucky board at .::Mother Goose's::.
Hair: "Tiramisu jetblack and hairbase tattoo" subscribo gift at LoQ Hairs
Outfit: "Wrapped N Netted Green" lucky chair prize at Roawenwood
Shoulder Pet:  "DM FREEFRIENDS" a gift at The Dahu.

Skin: "Trudy_LB" lucky board at .::Mother Goose's::. ((this skin makes me think panther girl camo))
Hair: "Tiramisu platinum and hairbase tattoo" subscribo gift at LoQ Hairs
Outfit: "Wrapped N Netted Green" lucky chair prize at Roawenwood
Shoulder Pet:  "DM FREEFRIENDS" a gift at The Dahu.


I'd like to take a moment for a little personal aside. While waiting around the chairs at Roawenwood I saw this sign. As a roleplayer in various themed sims, lag can often ruin my night so it caught my eye.
I clicked on the sign and this came up in chat.

[20:35] GoreanGoodies Shuffle has 3 activ from 3 scripts attached using a total of 48 KiloBytes

Not too bad.  I am usually very careful about how many scripts I wear. I removed items and kept clicking and found out those scripts are from my AO. I had time to kill while waiting for the chair so I experimented with different AO's I have and got dramatically different results.

[20:38] GoreanGoodies Shuffle has 3 activ from 3 scripts attached using a total of 144 KiloBytes

Good information and well worth the time I invested. I think I'm going to rip out my anims and try to learn how to use the built in viewer AO, that might help.

I wish every roleplay sim had a sign like this. I think there are a lot of people out there who aren't aware of how many scripts they are wearing or the effect on not only their own experience but the experience of those around them. For example this person came over to the lucky chairs and also clicked the lag sign.

[21:38] (name removed) has 177 activ from 178 scripts attached using a total of 10 MegaBytes

If you are nervous about removing the scripts out of your item just make a copy first. Leave the original in your inventory, wear and resize or recolor the copy, then remove the script from it. Most scripted items now even provide an option right on the menu encouraging you to do so. From then on just wear the copy unless you need to resize or recolor again, then you have the original as a back up.

It's worth trying, it might improve your experience and even if it doesn't help it can't hurt. You probably can't do anything about your scripted meters or weapons, but you might be surprised to learn how taxing titlers, huds, radars and those green text converter things can be. This is why I am a big fan of the display name feature, it has greatly reduced the need for many of those.

If you don't have one of these signs near you there are other ways to find your script count. In the Phoenix viewer just right click on your avie and choose S.Count. There might be similar abilities in other viewers but I don't know what they are off the top of my head.

If you are a sim owner and are reading this blog I'd like to say I think these signs are a great idea. Many of the people I saw in the time I was chair stalking clicked and it generated some interesting conversations about the subject of lag and scripts and generated some useful information for many.

Why is she crying? Well haven't you heard? On March 1st Torvalds Forge will be closing it's doors.


If somehow you missed the signs, they are having a 50% off closing out sale. You have one week to stock up on furniture, chores, roleplay props, clothing for slaves, men and women, particularly those of Torvaldsland but many items are easily transferred to Medieval or Fantasy themes as well.

UPDATE:  Torvalds Forge is now hosting a mini hunt.  Eight boxes to find around the sim containing many of the playful freebies that we've enjoyed from this pair over the last two years.  Get them before March 1.

Thank you Jericho and Jona for your contributions to the roleplay community. I wish you well.

Visit Torvalds Forge while you still can.
