The Winter Fair Has Opened — Gloves On, Fun Guaranteed!
Now that the Winter Fair has officially opened, there’s even more to enjoy during the holidays! As every year, the legendary 11 Cities Skating Tour is back — a delightfully icy adventure. Skates are provided, warm winter sweaters are included, and dignity is optional.
At the starting point, you can choose your destiny:
Explore the snowy little city with its charming winter market (yes… freebies 👀),
or
Strap on your skates, grab a map, and vanish into the snowy landscape in search of all 11 stamps. Collect them all and earn the highly coveted 11 Cities Trophy — bragging rights included.
And don’t worry: hot chocolate with rum is available along the way. Purely for warmth. Obviously. 🍫🥃

For Captains Who Prefer Strategy Over Slippery Ice:
Captains who want to stay informed during the holidays can join our alternative program, guided by a different battle coordinator. To make sure you haven’t missed a thing, all recent stories are available online (facts… or gossip? You decide 😏).
There you’ll find:
-Updates from the past weeks
-The latest tactics
-And last but not least: early whispers about the plans for 2026
-News, Gossip & Glorious Chaos
Or maybe you just want to read the blog because it’s fun — and slightly insane. Follow the latest news, group updates, and the heroic (and questionable) adventures people survived last month:

How to Get to the Skating Fun
📍 grid.kitely.com:8002:Catronian Archipelago
At the landing point, simply choose the sign that says “Winter Fair” — you can’t miss it (unless it’s snowing).
See you on the ice… or flat on it! ❄️⛸️

From all of us at My Virtual Beach Merry Christmas and Happy NEWYEAR.

No matter the time of year, Christmas Dreams is open 365 days. Please come check it out plus the goodies of freebies.

January 18th of 2026 Will mark 3 years of me owning the grid, my how time flies. I never imagined something like this back when I was a member. Thank you for all of the support over the years.

Cheers to many more years to come.

hg.trianon-world.com:18002:Christmas

We all love freebies—and this year the Kitely Winter Fair is packed with them! Enjoy exclusive, free designs created especially for the fair by some amazing builders, including Kim Starr (animesh), Cooper Swizzle, Koshari Mahana, Elin Egoyan, Masha Core, Sea Pearl (art), Fayre Scribe, and many more.

What makes this event truly special is that several designers have crafted unique Christmas gifts just for this fair, so you’ll discover exclusive presents and one-of-a-kind creations. Wander through the booths, search for the gift boxes, and see what treasures you can find!

For winter lovers, there’s plenty of fun too: we’ve created a 12-sim-wide skating tour complete with checkpoints—and everyone who completes the full tour can win a prize!

Join us for the grand opening party on Sunday, December 14th at 12:30 PM, with music by DJ Melanie Auxifur. All attendees will be entered into a special lottery with a $25 prize!

During the event, we’ll also announce the winner of the Fair Design Competition, who will receive another $25 prize.
Hop over and celebrate with us:
grid.kitely.com:8002:Catronian Archipelago

Kitely Winter Fair: your booth design can be rewarded!
After the huge success of our 2024 Winter Fair, we simply had to bring it back for another sparkling edition! ❄️✨
And this year… we want YOU to be part of the enchantment. it will be in the Kitely world Catronian Archipelago.


We warmly invite all merchants to reserve their spot at our charming winter market. Each participant can claim two stalls to showcase their creations — and yes, we love freebies… we really do! 😉 For the best design we offer a prize in dollars ( you need a PayPal account).

Imagine your stall set in a picturesque, old-European village square (think Dutch–German vibes), gently dusted with snow. Around you: twinkling Christmas lights, cosy market huts, waffles and warm drinks, music in the air, excited visitors hunting for decorations… and of course, talented artists turning the little houses into a magical gallery trail.

Our market is nestled in the heart of a 12-sim-wide Winter Wonderland, home of the legendary 11 Cities Skating Tour!
Find the checkpoints, collect the stamps, earn the trophy — and maybe even secure a proud place in the Skaters’ Hall of Fame. ⛸️🏆

This fair traditionally attracts a huge crowd, so early reservations are highly recommended. Many booths are already taken. There is no need to be a highly skilled designer or builder, it is for the fun of participating.
To secure your two stalls, please send an IM to Trouble Ahead.

The new Safari season is well underway, and here are a few posts about places we've been to so far...
A really clever Maze by Forest Azure and Poppy Fields that entertains and promotes hypergrid adventures. OSgrid features heavily in this new season - join us if you can, there are 8 weeks of trips ahead of us, upcoming tours are always advertised on OSW in Events, it's Wednesdays at 12 noon SLT.
https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2025/09/forest-in-fall.html
Cherry Manga's new build - lots to see, to experience, to freebieze
https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2025/09/safari-gets-desolate...
A trip to a Russian language grid where we made some new friends (which is kind of the point of Safari)
https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2025/09/a-red-safari.html
A trip to see the legendary Lofoten Islands, on SoA BAD and Siwas' grid - always a delight!
Plus this post about a 9/11 memorial on LFGrid .
https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2025/09/9-11.html

Kaze has changed names and has expanded. It is now Kaze no Chiiki and has been designed on a 2x2 with VivoSim, drive-able vehicles, 10 areas to explore and more. This is a work in progress, but open to all. In time there will be shops (freebies, Japanese style furniture, decor, etc), VivoSim Japanese expansions and more. Don't forget to stop in the shop at the landing and get your free Kimono (female only right now) and become part of the region!

Looks like OpenSim users are getting increasingly anxious that e.g. Mississippi and UK law enforcement will kill every last OpenSim grid on the grounds of their age verification laws, what with none of them having verified the real-life age of all their users. Even if a grid runs in Kazakhstan under a Russian domain with a Kazakh and Russian admin team.

"This will so totally happen!"

The self-same people, however, appear not to be afraid at all that Linden Lab and SL content creators will kill ANY OpenSim grid on the grounds of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what with almost all of them blistering with stolen SL content. Not even if a grid runs in the USA under a US domain with an all-American admin team.

"This will so totally NEVER happen!"

Pray tell, why should the former wipe OpenSim out in no time while the latter hasn't even happened to one measly OpenSim grid in over ten years of copybotting tons of expensive premium luxury content in SL and offering it in OpenSim as full-perm freebies? Not even after these announcements by Linden Lab themselves from early this year?
https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/01/linden-lab-sl-ip-rights-...
https://avadelaney.co.uk/musings/a-message-to-sl-content-t...

Oh, and OpenSim cannot survive without selling the most private personal data of every last one of its users to some big, commercial, corporate age-verification service? But at the same time, OpenSim cannot survive either without breaking international copyright and intellectual property laws left and right?

Oh, and by the way: The most that Mississippi and the UK can do against a grid is try to fine it. The most that Linden Lab can do against a grid is Cease & Desist it out of existence.

A curious message landed in my inbox today, bringing to light a common frustration within the virtual world: someone had picked up a Xara body on a specific grid and was stumped by its "Auto Alpha" feature. My immediate thought was, "Well, you should really go back to the grid where you acquired it and ask them for assistance." And if they can't provide the answers, it truly highlights a significant issue: why are entities distributing freebies of products they clearly don't understand or support themselves? This ongoing problem underscores precisely why, if you're genuinely seeking a LaraX or Xara body, it's always best to come directly to the source. Let's be clear: Vesti is the original creator of the Xara body, and any other versions or distributions you encounter are, frankly, the work of thieves. Ultimately, for genuine support, authentic products, and the true understanding of features like "Auto Alpha," trusting the original maker is paramount, as all other offerings are merely unauthorized imitations.

Hi everyone! It's ME! Jojo/Harmony...or is it Harmony/Jojo?? LOL! Well, I'm not confused about this! I still have spots open! This is FREE advertising for your grid, shops, club, beautiful regions or more! There are a few small rent free shops for you too! Who doesn't like FREE ADVERTISING! Come see me!!
(NO! You don't have to be from OSG!)
Hi everyone! I just want to offer a few small shop rentals for FREE at Mermaid's Cove and let you know I have a Discovery shop too, where you can share your LMs to your grids and regions, also for free! Please come visit, the tpers are at the landing! Check it out! The shops are small but perfect for vendors (no monetary system on OSG so freebies are welcome)!

It's the summer here and so HG Safari is on break until September 3. But the Safari blog continues, and here are a few recent posts you may enjoy.
As many of you know, Mal Burns died recently. Here's a post about his impact on Opensim, through the voices of people who knew him well

The List That Really Matters.

I recently listed the shops that were recommended in the What Are You Looking For group in the past six months as a way to encourage these and other shop owners to join the group and help people find stuff they are looking for.

But here is the list that really matters. If anyone helps people find stuff in the What Are You Looking For group, their help is acknowledged and their regions promoted. It’s the least I can do to thank our members who make the effort to help people find what they are looking for. It’s been three months since I’ve done that. Here are the people who have helped in that time.

• JamieWright. Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. Visit their profile for info on their regions. https://opensimworld.com/user/JamieWright
One thing I especially love about Jamie's shops is that they are supportive of the 2SLGBTQIA+ (2Spirit/Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual/Aromantic + many more) communities.

• Felix Mafia. Visit his profile for a list of his regions. One of them, Kingman City, has been a place for 5 years to find the finest animations. https://opensimworld.com/user/FelixMafia

• FallenAngelAbsent. Visit her region Circus. It features Bumper Cars (my favorite as a kid!), and the Ghost Train.
hg.osgrid.org:80:Circus

• Mistressdalgato offers many things on her Virtual Beach Grid region. I’m going to highlight just one: Free little land without the need for a local account. See her profile for more info. https://opensimworld.com/user/Mistressdalgato

• Jupiter Rowland Moderator of the group and one of our main helpful persons. He has no regions. He's just a freelance helper who is one of the most informed people in OS about where to find stuff.

• RafaGuzn: A mystery man from Mexico.

• Chelsea Louloudi. This is so cool! One of her regions is Pepperland, based on the 1968 ground breaking animated cartoon, Beatles 'Yellow Submarine". lfgrid.com:8002:Pepperland

• Sharpened Razor: Visit Norti Farm for the Vivosim Farming System & Shop with new Farming Item's Freebies & Much more
utopia.outworldz.net:8002:Norti Farm

• Bink Draconia: Among their many regions is the Black White Castle. It's a "monochrome region that gives you the feeling of being in an old black and white movie”. How cool is that! pangeagrid.de:8002:Black White

• Wolf Territories: I had to take my shoes off to count all of the regions Wolf has, and even counting up to twenty was not enough. Check it out.
https://opensimworld.com/dir/?grid=grid.wolfterritories.or...

• John Sheppard  has regions devoted to Dragonriders of Pern Roleplay, and Highlander the TV Series based Roleplay. For more info: https://opensimworld.com/user/johnsheppard

I encourage you to visit these places and thank these helpful folks should you meet them. I also hope you will join us and help out. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

Next up to our opensim public library is the #1 selling book on the planet...the Holy Bible! We hope you have use for this and can gain strength and inspiration. Bearing that in mind, i am aware there are a number of different faiths and beliefs out there. I am respectful of others beliefs, so keep in mind i will be deleting and maybe blocking anyone that tries to take a positive thing for a large group of people, and turn it into a heated debate, flaming, trolling. This is a peaceful freebie FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT. :) nobody is under obligation to come claim this free item, and thus, nobody should complain. Thank you in advance for being polite, rational and kind :)

A *BIG* shout out to Cyberglo Cyberstar, who has been so generous and kind with his time, adding 1 fix to take us to version 1.1 and allow pages to move backwards. Then the next day taking us to version 2.0 and allowing us the potential to make books in minutes rather than days and hours. and yet a 3rd update already to take us to script version 2.3!

New Features from 2.0 to 2.3:

Can now view the cover by clicking left side from page 1, to close the book/show cover. Adds a professionalism and another level of realism to the book experience. (also close book from menu)

Which leads us to the bigger features...a menu is added! holding down the left mouse ANYWHERE on the book for 5-10 seconds will give a popup menu:
1)page number 2)bookmarks 3)close book

We already mentioned 3 and self explanatory.
1- page number: push this to jump to any of the 1119 pages of this book
2- bookmarks: that's right, save your place, or simply remember some significant pages. you can name each page and you can create a bookmark using the menu, or you can edit the notecard (PATIENCE! it DOES take some computers a bit of time to load 1,119 images!)

Now keep in mind, you want to follow the examples already laid out in the notecard that is included. you can simply edit or erase this once you have the jist of how to name and format the notecard. (dont be silly like me and try to save a page as "John 3:16"....it needs the : to tell it what page to go to...so rather than take me to page 987 or what have you, it took me to page 16.

Yes, I am already aware some adjustments need to be made to the numbering system/script. For now, use it for what it is, and be grateful for the minutes to hours it will save you getting you relatively close to the page you wish to jump to or bookmark. We will obviously do our best to make this more accurate. ENJOY!

First, just a general piece of advice.
If Xenon Darrow ever offers to drive you somewhere, and if there is a bus involved in her plans, make sure your travel insurance is up to date.

Tipi Tacos Truck Freebie. I know, more food...lol. Tipi Tacos are an Indigenous fusion cuisine and very popular. Sometimes called "Indian Tacos", Navajo Tacos or Bannock Tacos. Open tacos made on bannock with all the fixings and very delicious. The Tipi Tacos truck is over by the gas station and free to copy/buy for 0 for anyone who wishes for one for their region. In the contents of the object are some separates. this build uses the old Airstream camper trailer from Arcadia Asylum as well as a cool generic soda fountain I found on sketchfab and some veggies:

A huge thank to Lampi, Marlon and Kitty ♥

The Grove Bistro is a freebie little restaurant anyone can come and copy/buy for 0 on Birch Grove Spring. A while back I found both this cute little building (on Klamotto region) as well as a really cool collection of food on Sketchfab from a RL restaurant. I have been meaning to make a restauant combining both elements. Be aware there are some separate parts. The tables are LK from the Moonlight series and they have all the plates in them. I didn't like the square plates the originals came with so it's all on some classic round plates made by Sunny from OpenSimCreations. It was sorta supposed to be for Valentines day but the time got away on me so it's just for anytime and a cool place for your avs to go pretent to eat...lol. Not everything is free to copy/buy for 0 if it came from other creators and the perms were not so. Beside the cemetary and behind the Afree Hair Salon. Enjoy!
