It's here, LESHMOR HOUSE!!! One of the structures to be used in the "Deceptions" role play which is a fan fiction spin off from the Witcher after Season 3 on streaming. With the shake up in actors and their stray from the novels, watching season 4 is not in the books for me, but I wanted the story to continue, so I threw in my own changes and twists and plan to have a great RP for those interested in being involved in this fan fiction future for our canon characters and for new characters that the players come up with (within reason). If you just like and want the house, come and get it, it's there for the taking and will make a great western or medieval building. It is copy, modify, transfer but keep in mind it is partial mesh so modifying will not be easy, but it can be done. If you just want to re texture it, it's easy, peasy lemon squeezy. Have fun with it and let your imagination run wild! Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Today, especially for you, a short documentation of how I generate images, which can be a bit tricky, but doesn't have to be. Depending on the situation, I sometimes work quite differently.
Top left: the image I had an AI generate according to my specifications.
Next to it, on the right, after image fusion, for which I also have a program on my computer. I then had an AI modify this image again, as shown in the bottom right. The final result, bottom right, after post-processing (color, sharpening, etc.), also with a local program.
And now:
🧡Have a nice weekend everyone🧡

Another fine classic coming to you from the Homelandz Public Library...Kidnapped, by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Kidnapped is a historical fiction adventure novel by Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, written as a boys' novel and first published in the magazine Young Folks from May to July 1886. The novel has attracted the praise and admiration of writers as diverse as Henry James, Jorge Luis Borges, and Hilary Mantel. A sequel, Catriona, was published in 1893.

The narrative is written in English with some dialogue in Lowland Scots, a Germanic language that evolved from an earlier incarnation of English.

Kidnapped is set around real 18th-century Scottish events, notably the "Appin Murder" and the Highland Clearances, which occurred in the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745. Many of the characters are real people, including one of the principals, Alan Breck Stewart. The political situation of the time is portrayed from multiple viewpoints, and the Scottish Highlanders are treated sympathetically.

The full title of the book is Kidnapped: Being Memoirs of the Adventures of David Balfour in the Year 1751: How he was Kidnapped and Cast away; his Sufferings in a Desert Isle; His Journey in the Wild Highlands; his acquaintance with Alan Breck Stewart and other notorious Highland Jacobites; with all that he suffered at the hands of his Uncle, Ebenezer Balfour of Shaws, falsely so-called: Written by Himself and now set forth by Robert Louis Stevenson.

And now a change of pace from so many "classic" novels, as we branch into more genres and tastes...a personal favorite of mine is welcomed to the Homelandz Public Library...American Psycho, by Bret Easton Ellis!

American Psycho is a black comedy horror novel by American writer Bret Easton Ellis, published in 1991. The story is told in the first-person by Patrick Bateman, a wealthy, narcissistic, and vain Manhattan investment banker who lives a double life as a serial killer. Alison Kelly of The Observer notes that while "some countries [deem it] so potentially disturbing that it can only be sold shrink-wrapped", "critics rave about it" and "academics revel in its transgressive and postmodern qualities".

A film adaptation starring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman was released in 2000 to generally favorable reviews. Producers David Johnson and Jesse Singer developed a musical adaptation for Broadway. The musical premiered at the Almeida Theatre, London in December 2013.

The book has garnered notoriety for its graphic violence and has led to it being censored in multiple countries.

Rappel !!!! Prochaine réunion de préparation de la chasse au trésor intergrid, Samedi 7 Juin 21h00 à l'accueil de BloodMoon . En attendant voici le compte rendu de la dernière réunion pris en note par Ladyka:
----------------Réunion Préparation Chasse au trésor - Jeu de piste - Le vendredi 23 mai 2025 - 21h ------------------

Principe(s) retenu(s) :
- passer obligatoirement par toutes les régions ou grilles engagées

Idées / suggestions / questions :

- Découvrir un code ? résoudre des énigmes permettrait d'obtenir un bout du code ; à la fin, celui qui détient l'ensemble du code obtient "quelque chose" mais quoi ? -> Lot(s) à définir (tenir compte qu'il peut y avoir plusieurs gagnants)
- Faire le parcours soit selon un ordre alphabétique des régions ? A priori, option non retenue puisque pour découvrir le code, ordre alphabétique pas forcément nécessaire, il faut obligatoirement être passé sur toutes les régions participant.

ARRIVEE
- Quel lieu d'arrivée ? Proposition : un lieu qui serait le résultat d'un travail collectif/collaboratif ? Cela impliquerait de Builder une région spécifique. Les échanges ne penchent pas pour cette option, plutôt utiliser une ou des régions existantes.

DEPART
- Quel lieu de départ ?
- Lister les informations à fournir au départ (conditions de réalisation, règles du jeu/règlement, etc.
- Soigner le départ en le rendant motivant, stimulant

ENIGMES
- Quelles énigmes ? Un parcours constitué d'étapes comportant des énigmes d'une difficulté croissante ?
- L'énigme devrait être en lien avec la région ou la grille visitée, elle doit également impliquer de visiter ou se déplacer dans la région.
- L'énigme ou les énigmes seront cachées dans un ou des "objets". Elles doivent permettre d'obtenir un bout de "code" / une "clé.

DIVERS / FONCTIONNEMENT
- "Objets" communs à toutes les grilles ?
- Un clic sur l' "objet" ouvre une notecard (comportant l'énigme, un bout d'histoire, l'étape suivante, etc.)
- Possibilité de faire intervenir un NPC (ex un ancien alchimiste) et/ou d'utiliser un panneau commun (texte ou "audio") qui serai(en)t présents à chaque étape.
- Il est important de prévoir d'indiquer au participant l'étape suivante.
- Chaque grille ou région participant à la chasse au trésor devrait être libre d'organiser ce que doit faire le participant mais en tenant compte d'un fil conducteur entre chaque étapes du jeu. Cela implique de tenir compte de l'étape précédente.
- Concernant le *fil conducteur* : une histoire (ex : sur les traces d'un voyageur)
- Chasse au trésor ou jeu de piste entre grilles francophones mais ouvert(e) aux autres langues.
- Quel scenario

Questions en suspens :
Comment le participant propose sa réponse et comment obtient-il le bout de code ?
Si le participant pense avoir trouvé, que doit-il faire ? Envisage-t-on la possibilité de fournir une réponse dans tous les cas (y compris une réponse fausse) ? ou ne fournir un code que lorsque la réponse est juste ?
=> à définir en commun


----------------- Fin de la réunion 22h33 ---------------

Echanges informels après la réunion
- Le fil conducteur et/ou le règlement devraient faire référence au monde francophone
- Minord propose de s'inspirer de l'exercice du texte à plusieurs mains : chaque grille participant au jeu reçoit le texte de la région précédente et rédige sa partie en faisant évoluer l'histoire. La grille transmet l'ensemble à la suivante qui fera de même. Les régions ou grilles précédentes ne connaîtront pas la suite de l'histoire (et pourront donc également participer au jeu !)

-------------------Prochaine réunion : samedi 7 juin 21h Chez Vlad ----------------------

Our next release to the Homelandz Public Library is a classic rather short novel that is a gripping and touching tale of 2 unlikely traveling companions, looking for work, and a piece of the American Dream. I highly recommend the modern movie remake of the black and white classic as well. The newer one features Gary Sinise as George, and John Malkovich as Lenny.

"George...tell me about da rabbits?"

Of Mice and Men is a 1937 novella written by American author John Steinbeck. It describes the experiences of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, as they move from place to place in California, searching for jobs during the Great Depression.

Steinbeck based the novella on his own experiences as a teenager working alongside migrant farm workers in the 1910s, before the arrival of the Okies whom he would describe in his novel The Grapes of Wrath. The title is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse": "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley" ("The best-laid plans of mice and men / Often go awry").

Although the book is taught in many schools, Of Mice and Men has been a frequent target of censorship and book bans for vulgarity and for what some consider offensive and racist language. Consequently, it appears on the American Library Association's list of the Most Challenged Books of the 21st Century.

hop://homelandz.opensim.fun:8802/Gloeb%20Mall/396/164/23

The next addition to the Homelandz Public Library is the 3rd request from Remmy Ravenhurst...none other than Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo.

Les Misérables (/leɪ ˌmɪzəˈrɑːb(əl), -blə/,French: [le mizeʁabl] ) is a French epic historical novel by Victor Hugo, first published on 31 March 1862, that is considered one of the greatest novels of the 19th century. Les Misérables has been popularized through numerous adaptations for film, television, and the stage, including a musical.

In the English-speaking world, the novel is usually referred to by its original French title. However, several alternatives have been used, including The Miserables, The Wretched, The Miserable Ones, The Poor Ones, The Wretched Poor, The Victims, and The Dispossessed. Beginning in 1815 and culminating in the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris, the novel follows the lives and interactions of several characters, particularly the struggles of ex-convict Jean Valjean and his experience of redemption.

Examining the nature of law and grace, the novel elaborates upon the history of France, the architecture and urban design of Paris, politics, moral philosophy, antimonarchism, justice, religion, and the types and nature of romantic and familial love.

The next title to be released at Homelandz Public Library is a request from Ankh Senaton/Lionheart... a classic by HG Wells...The Time Machine! Find it upstairs on the bookshelf marked T for Time ;)

The Time Machine is an 1895 dystopian post-apocalyptic science fiction novella by H. G. Wells about a Victorian scientist known as the Time Traveller who travels to the year 802,701. The work is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle or device to travel purposely and selectively forward or backward through time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle or device.

Utilizing a frame story set in then-present Victorian England, Wells' text focuses on a recount of the otherwise anonymous Time Travelers journey into the far future. A work of future history and speculative evolution, The Time Machine is interpreted in modern times as a commentary on the increasing inequality and class divisions of Wells' era, which he projects as giving rise to two separate human species: the fair, childlike Eloi, and the savage, simian Morlocks, distant descendants of the contemporary upper and lower classes respectively. It is believed that Wells' depiction of the Eloi as a race living in plenitude and abandon was inspired by the utopic romance novel News from Nowhere (1890), though Wells' universe in the novel is notably more savage and brutal.

In his 1931 preface to the book, Wells wrote that The Time Machine seemed "a very undergraduate performance to its now mature writer, as he looks over it once more", though he states that "the writer feels no remorse for this youthful effort". However, critics have praised the novella's handling of its thematic concerns, with Marina Warner writing that the book was the most significant contribution to understanding fragments of desire[clarify] before Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, with the novel "[conveying] how close he felt to the melancholy seeker after a door that he once opened on to a luminous vision and could never find again".

The Time Machine has been adapted into two feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions and many comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.

Pre-emptive disclaimer: The is a magazine of great historical significance. If you personally object to nudity, his views, the man himself, or any of the words *I* typed, please continue on your way. Imagine yelling at a zookeeper because the camel you wished to see, only had 1 hump, and not the 2 you desired to see!

hop://homelandz.opensim.fun:8802/Gloeb%20Mall/407/163/31

For those who missed out on issue #1 from December of 1953, with Marilyn Monroe, here is issue #2, January 1954. (All issues will be found on the magazine rack upstairs...simply paste the hop into your map for a 2nd time, once you arrive at the region, and it will take you right to the correct bookcase.

These magazines can be rezzed in world to proudly display on your coffee table, bookshelf, whatever you wish. You can also simply "add" them and they attach as a HUD to your screen, and read in comfort, and only you will see!

I hope many will enjoy to see firsthand the evolution of an iconic magazine known worldwide for culture, class, style. I hope many will read the articles, jokes, and interviews. For instance, when we reach March of 1954, we find the first of 3 parts of Ray Bradbury's novel "Farenheit 451" Wow! It is truly like taking a step back into the 1950's, and seeing how things were!
