🔥 New mystical-decorative gem from Sciattisi! 🔥
Yes, you read that right: today we're going beyond the Zen garden and officially entering the "backyard worship" category.

Here's our brand new and surprising:

Celtic Altar – Special Outdoor Furnishings

Perfect for those who want to give their green space a spiritual touch, a little Druidic, a little Nordic design, and all very scenic.

Here's what the sacred combo includes:

🪨 Stone altar – carved to withstand time, the elements, and the chatter of neighbors.
🔥 Celtic pyre (yes, we're talking real fire!) – to summon ancient spirits.
🍲 2 Offering Bowls to the Gods, one stone and one steel – to use for ritual offerings, incense grains... or maybe chips if friends are coming over.
✨ Polysurface – elegant with dry branches

Most of the noise about “theft” tends to come from people who are also moving content around that wasn’t theirs to begin with.

In OpenSim, the ones who actually make original work from scratch usually don’t waste time on witch hunts. They know the culture: once it’s out there, it’s going to walk. Instead, they keep building, share because they want to, and let their reputation speak for them.

The real creators aren’t guarding the door—they’re busy building the house.

AMV SummerFest has just kicked off with DJ Kitty at the Festival of Arts Stage [SE], located on the AMV Special Events region!
This year’s SummerFest is bigger and better than ever!

Enjoy 5 full days of fun packed with:
Some of the most popular live performers in OpenSim
Talented DeeJays spinning your favorite tunes
Live entertainment shows, including a dazzling Burlesque Show
The fabulous Complete Avatar Fashion Show
The epic InTribute Palooza 9

This is more than a festival — it’s a celebration of community, music, art, and friendship. Reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and dance the days away!

Join us at:

Don’t miss out — see you at SummerFest!

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

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.

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!

I create these images with KI, Photoshop, Gimp and edit them with an KI Photo Editor
I exhibit them in my gypsy camp in a small gallery they are freely available for sale (copy)

Visit our new shopping mall at Ardent Town.

Everything that was in the stores in Ardent Lake - plus much much more and constantly growing!

Everything free - and easy to find from the teleport in the middle.

Introducing AI Atlas, an AI powered NPC. AI Atlas was designed to run with different LLMs (Large Language Models) and make user-to-NPC, or NPC-to-NPC chat a little less boring that it use to be. Emphasis on short, fast and casual answers rather than the pedantic parrot LLMs tend to be. Work in progress as we are still discovering how we can infuse somme intelligence into NPC's behaviour. On display tonight (April, 7) at atlasgrid.fr:8002:Atlas-Studio.

Première présentation ce soir de AI Atlas dans nos studios.

Thanks to everyone who came to the French and German sessions of the HIE yesterday!
The event continues today of course, with the Italian and Spanish from 9am SLT. Attendance hovered around 50 people for each session, peaking at 52 for Cherry Manga and MorlitaM's unforgettable immersive experience.
Thanks everyone for being there and supporting this adventure!

I've nearly completed a full PBR remodel of the Medieval Area in the store by updating all existing items and adding new ones as well. Pictured here is the redone King Arthurs Round Table, part of a larger collection of Arthurian items like Excalibur, the Grail Tapestries, as well as a group of items utilizing my imagining of the Arthur Pendragon heraldry.

The table group is done in reflective copper, gold, mahogany and leather, and includes Siege Perilous - the one chair of the Round Table reserved only for the most worthy knight, and would kill anyone else who dared sit in it. The platform under the table is marked with Merlin's triskelion symbol, denoting a kingdom created and established by magic; the table above bears the Knights Oath, denoting a kingdom governed by the rule of law and equity.

You can find the Medieval Area on the left at the back of the lobby.
