Hey everyone! Just a little information update on the GRPG Welcome Center - This location has been specifically developed for folks who are brand new to Open Sim and the Virtual Life and do not have a clue about how to get around and do things in the virtual world that we love, called Open Sim. We have tutorials on how to move and use your camera even information on how to slow down your flying so you don't smash your head on ceilings and trees. We have three large tutorial buildings and the first is how to move and view, the other two are made available after the new comers finish the first tutorial on how to move and view. Those two tutorial buildings are how to build your avatar one building for the ladies and one building for the gentlemen. There will be forth coming tutorials on how to drive a vehicle, ride a raptor (just for fun thank you Ares Halostar) and how to ride a horse. I will be creating and adding "How To" video tutorials on various subjects including how to update your region page on the OSW Directory, how to do your settings in Firestorm (sorry not doing one for Singularity because I don't have it) and all of the videos will be available at the touch of a button in our GRPG Information Center in the GRPG Welcome Center. You will also find a large Teleport Board there that will take you to those regions that we have open for public visitation. I hope to see you there an I hope these videos and tutorials will be helpful to everyone. Blessings and much love, Lavia

"Obeisance" is a striking sculpture that symbolizes the delicate balance between reverence and connection. The fluid, intertwined forms suggest a deep, almost ritualistic act of respect, as if two entities are bowing to one another in mutual acknowledgment. The bold curves and flowing lines evoke a sense of movement, capturing the essence of a moment frozen in time.

Thank you Marianna for this beautiful gift to the Art Gallery. Welcome to the Le Beau Retrouve Art Gallery family. I can't thank you enough for this thoughtful gift. I love it!!

Discover the Chapel of Tranquility: Your Sanctuary Awaits

Step into the Chapel of Tranquility, the perfect addition to your town. From the moment you enter, you’ll feel an immediate sense of peace and calm, enveloped by the sacred atmosphere of this serene space.

Unlike a traditional church, which serves as a gathering place for communal worship, a chapel is designed for personal reflection or small, intimate gatherings. Here, you can worship and reflect on your own terms—no need for a pastor or priest. This space is yours to experience in solitude or with a few close companions.

The chapel features a bell tower that chimes on the hour, adding a touch of timeless grace. You can also touch the bell to hear its resonant tone at any time. The benches offer a variety of animations, with two different poses in each of the four benches.

At the altar, you’ll find scripted animations to enhance your worship experience. The Eucharist plate and goblet are also scripted, allowing you to partake in communion with the Body of Christ (wafer) and the Blood of Christ (wine). Simply add either to immerse yourself in this sacred ritual.

To further enrich your experience, a leather-bound Bible, a Hymnal, and altar candles are included. All of these items are neatly boxed and placed beside the altar for your convenience.

The Chapel itself is available in a box located outside the entrance, and arrows on the street will guide you there. While visiting, take a moment to explore the other architectural wonders in the region—all handcrafted over the years and freely available to help you build your sim.

Made for my Christian friends, I hope you will enjoy this chapel as much as I did building it. Peace, Love, and Light! ~*Star*~

After being asked several times about my Sphynx Animesh cats with cat tree, I have now decided to release them. They can be found in the Yin Yang Town Backup Store region which you can reach via the teleport board on YYT Main. I wish you a lot Fun with the little naked kittens ;-)

The MAGABAGAS intersim maglevs are now rezzed by rezzers available on all INTERSIM AREAS in all regions(but the sandbox).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intructions on how to use it are in MAGABAGA and in English and its super easy:
01- Click the rezzer;
02 - Once maglev shows up, take a seat;
03- Wait for 10 seconds and maglev will start run automatically, crossing allover the eight (4x4s) regions!! (*)
Have fun!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(*) Thx @cliffordhangar AMV who gave me the hint on fixing the script to keep objects rezzed remaining inworld after a SIM crossing. and Thx also @lonewolf AKA Furball that had sent me script that make it all work.

Avedon Park is happy to announce that (after many noise complaints and much rowdy behavior) The Back Cat Radio Station has been moved to Avedon South! Come by and check out the new radio station and the new Good Sounds Music Park, a music festival ground that would make the folks at Woodstock blush. You can access the station and festival grounds by either TP or boat. Grab a free radio at the radio station and swimming and overnight camping is welcome at the park. Avedon South is an adult region and Black Cat Radio is located next to "Nervous Charlie's" 24 Hr Fireworks and Liquor Store. Find out why Black Cat Radio offers you the best music in the metaverse!

Cocky Clocks
This first set includes dark and light models. In addition to the clock hands moving, a certain *ahem* something ticks away the time for you. Click to adjust the time difference and try to enjoy, just not too much.

Additional cocky clocks are on their way, just need a bit of time to finish them up.

Pickup is at the OSW Exclusive gift area, located below. If you have issues arriving there directly, you can use the OSW door to your left once arriving in the subway to access the exclusive area.

It has come to my attention that as of late, the metaverse is just packed with more and more people. Everywhere I go, I meet people. It's getting hard to find an empty sim anymore. People are packed into dance parties like beans stuffed in a fat burrito, so tightly you can barely move for all the lag. Everywhere you look more and more people are signing up every day. The numbers show it, and numbers don't lie. The reason for this is very simple. People are tired of paying for secondLife now that you can get the same quality or better here. People are tired of advertising sign packed regions of secondLife and come here initially as a camping trip, only deciding to build a cabin and live by the lake. It's amazing! Everywhere you look new people. I bet every time I go out I make new friends and meet new peoople! :)

I'll be performing LIVE at Black Sun today!
Come over to Kitely & join us for some fun!

I left the confines of my grubby room of questionable privacy. The desert called to me, so I went. The further away I strolled revealed more signs of life...but I question the variety thereof.

The hills have eyes...

"Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison."
-- Heinrich Heine

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant
Walk right in it's around the back
Just a half a mile from the railroad track
You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant

-- Arlo Guthrie

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night...

-- Don Henley, Glenn Frey

After spending most of the day working with it, we won't be doing the Dreamgrid Smart Start after all.

After crashing repeatedly with three different versions of Firestorm, and finding with no Smart Start the crashes ended - as well as the very large and heavy regions we have not loading as they need to -- it's just not working for us. It's a great concept, however. With a pretty powerful dedicated 64 gig Server we should be okay.

I think this works well for some grids and not for others, depending on what has to be loaded in etc etc.

Many thanks to Mistress Delgado for all her advice and help trying this out! :)

Welcome to Port Arcadia in the Avedon South Region. Arcadia is a festive little gypsy port in the waters of Oceana. Much to explore!

Avedon South is an Adult region. Please join our group and be sure to READ our simple rules to help you enjoy your adventure.

It has been 8 days since the Tenth Dimension Grid was born and became a world within the Metaverse made up of many diverse and beautiful galaxies we call the Hypergrid.
Hammers have been banging the nails are flying and progress is being made on the grid. The two shopping regions are still under construction. I have most of my inventory for my shop rezzed and am now in the process of sorting it all out...a big job. I didn't realize I had made so MUCH STUFF! :) If you see something you like and it isn't set for sale $0 yet, let me know so I can be sure you get it.

The region called The Tenth Dimension Project (not listed here yet) can be accessed through our portals if you want to learn more about the project I have spent the last 5 or 6 years researching and dreaming of. The region is divided into 10 parcels, with a platform in the sky above Imagine 6- Space exploration as this one will require both ground and sky and different environment settings. Some of the parcels already have the EEP made and applied, so please enable your settings to see how that "world's" atmosphere may look, (it could change as I go along). On each parcel, I have put out an Info board that shows 2 possible timelines for each parcel.
In the Tenth Dimension, there could be an infinite number of timelines and possibilities so I have narrowed it down to 2, A or B as these possibilities appeal to me and will challenge my abilities. I have many projects going on all the time as it is my nature and I have so many different interests, so this is a long-term project that will at times progress rather quickly and will also be slow to completion.
I welcome anyone to visit and check out the progress and have a nice chat if you wish if I am around. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them.
While you are here, check out the other regions. We are small but have lots to explore, especially in the Land Of Xzar, so take your time and have fun. See you soon!
PS Are you looking for a vacation retreat or a honeymoon adventure? Lots of places in Land Of Xzar to stay. A castle? There are a few. A large Manor on a farm? A small cottage in the forest or the mountains? A beach hut? A beautiful Moracan-styled hotel or the 1960s-style motel down the street offers two very different experiences. See me for more info.

Are you a fairy, wizard, or other magical being in need of a beautiful wand? Check out Abby Willowroot's custom made magic wands. Beautiful wands adorned with a jewel will make any fairy smile. :) https://willowrootwands.com/product-category/01-all-wands/ Many styles and designs to choose from!

@Ferdzee crafted a dynamic tapestry woven with threads of digital elements, textures, and lighting. The grandeur of the Grand Tower and the welcoming embrace of the city gates collectively symbolize the spirit of Japan. Thank you 🏯💗
