It is not easy to keep our balance
when the world beneath us is falling apart.

Hate, violence and greed pull at us,
while fear and despair grow louder.

Perhaps we cannot change everything.
But we can try to keep moving forward –
holding on to the hand of someone
who walks this narrow path with us.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Es ist nicht leicht, die Balance zu halten,
wenn unter uns die Welt aus den Fugen gerät.

Hass, Gewalt und Gier ziehen an uns,
während Angst und Verzweiflung immer lauter werden.

Vielleicht können wir nicht alles ändern.
Aber wir können versuchen, aufrecht weiterzugehen –
und dabei die Hand eines Menschen festzuhalten,
der diesen schmalen Weg mit uns geht.

🌙 BloodMoon Marketplace – Information

🇬🇧 ENGLISH

The BloodMoon Marketplace is currently under development and open for testing. 🧪

Please note that the Marketplace is designed to be used with a BloodMoon grid account. You therefore need a BloodMoon avatar to log in, purchase products or use the seller features.

🌐 This does not mean that products are restricted to BloodMoon. Once an item has been purchased and delivered to your BloodMoon avatar, it can of course be transferred to avatars on other OpenSimulator grids through the Hypergrid, provided the item's permissions allow it.

💰 At the moment, Marketplace transactions are available in BM$ only, the BloodMoon in-world currency.

💳 A PayPal payment option is planned for the future, allowing creators who wish to sell their products for real currency to receive payments through their own PayPal account. This feature is not available yet.

❤️ BloodMoon is not intended to become a commercial grid. Whenever possible, we encourage creators who wish to share their work with the OpenSimulator community to offer their creations for 0 BM$.

Of course, every creator remains completely free to decide whether their products are free or sold for BM$, and to set their own prices.

🛍️ BloodMoon Marketplace:
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace

Thank you to everyone who tests the Marketplace, reports problems and helps us improve it. ❤️

🌙 BloodMoon Marketplace – Information

🇫🇷 FRANÇAIS

Le BloodMoon Marketplace est actuellement en cours de développement et ouvert aux tests. 🧪

À noter que le Marketplace est conçu pour être utilisé avec un compte sur la grille BloodMoon. Il est donc nécessaire de posséder un avatar BloodMoon pour se connecter, effectuer des achats ou utiliser les fonctions vendeur.

🌐 Cela ne signifie pas que les produits sont limités à BloodMoon. Une fois un objet acheté et reçu par votre avatar BloodMoon, il peut bien entendu être transféré vers des avatars d’autres grilles OpenSimulator via l’Hypergrid, si les permissions de l’objet le permettent.

💰 Pour le moment, les transactions sur le Marketplace sont uniquement possibles en BM$, la monnaie in-world de BloodMoon.

💳 Une option de paiement PayPal est prévue à l’avenir, afin de permettre aux créateurs qui souhaitent vendre leurs produits en monnaie réelle de recevoir les paiements directement sur leur propre compte PayPal. Cette fonctionnalité n’est pas encore disponible.

❤️ BloodMoon n’a pas vocation à devenir une grille commerciale. Lorsque cela est possible, nous encourageons donc les créateurs qui souhaitent partager leur travail avec la communauté OpenSimulator à proposer leurs créations à 0 BM$.

Bien entendu, chaque créateur reste entièrement libre de proposer ses produits gratuitement ou en BM$, et d’en fixer lui-même le prix.

🛍️ BloodMoon Marketplace :
https://bloodmoonpack.com/Marketplace

Merci à toutes les personnes qui testent le Marketplace, nous signalent les problèmes rencontrés et nous aident à l’améliorer. ❤️

THE OBJECT OF THE GAME / GAMEPLAY
🕵️ WHO’S THE IMPOSTOR?

Think you know the secret? Prove it.

At the start of the game, every player—except one—receives the same secret word. But there’s a twist: the Impostor doesn’t get the word. Instead, they receive a clue and must use it to blend in.
🎯 HOW TO PLAY

Each round, every player takes a turn giving a ONE-WORD response related to the secret word.

Players with the secret word: Use your word to come up with a clever response without making it too obvious.

The Impostor: Use the clue to figure out the secret word and give a response convincing enough to fool everyone.

Then comes the fun part…
👀 SPOT THE IMPOSTOR

Once everyone has answered, it’s time to review, discuss, and investigate. Analyze every response. Question every answer. Trust no one.

Finally, everyone votes for the player they believe is the Impostor.
🏆 WILL YOU CATCH THEM?

Can the players uncover the Impostor before they escape?

Or will the Impostor blend in, fool the group, and get away undetected?

The word is secret. The answers are suspicious. And one player is trying to fool you.

LET THE GAME BEGIN!

Come dressed for a night on the water — moonlight, music, and memories under the stars. See you at the dock!

back with an empty region....

The Tartar Manifesto

We explain:
The history of humankind is not a straight line.
It is a web of ascents, collapses, oblivion, and rediscovery.
Anyone who claims that progress inevitably leads from a primitive past to perfect modernity is telling a comforting story – but not the whole truth.

We distrust standardized truth.

I’m delighted to share that I have given Fred Beckhusen exclusive distribution rights to my newest region, Tumbletwig, created especially for the DreamGrid community.

Tumbletwig is a tiny enchanted world of Frog Fairies, magical treehouses, winding woodland paths, ponds, gardens, hidden little inhabitants, and plenty of surprises to discover.

Fred will be making the Tumbletwig Exclusive OAR available in the next few days through Outworldz for DreamGrid owners.

A heartfelt thank you to Fred for giving me a platform where I can continue creating and sharing these lovely little worlds. Having the tools and freedom to turn an idea into an entire place—and then share that place with others—is something I truly appreciate.

I hope Tumbletwig brings a little magic, a few smiles, and perhaps a new appreciation for frogs to many DreamGrids.

Welcome to Tumbletwig — Frog Fairy Paradise.
Where the frogs have wings and the forest is much bigger than you think. 🐸

OUPZ....I made a booboo, peeps....:
the swan's animation sequence got corrupted, it never could play a full animation and grab next, fluently...
I have corrected it, the new version is available in me shoppie!

I rezzed him in the air, but he can be rezzed on ground and ridden. The point of this post is this project is about preserving Fred’s original Second Life creations and making selected pieces available to be enjoyed again. I have been using photoshop, Canva for years when generating ads, most people do. I’m going to leave it there. Thank you.

I am honored to share the news that Fred Beckhusen’s “Phaze” collection will be coming to the Weathered Woods Second Life Marketplace store.

Phaze was the Second Life region of Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards, and the creations associated with Phaze represent their creativity, work, and history in Second Life. Full credit for these creations and their legacy belongs to Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards.

Weathered Woods is honored to provide a new home where selected pieces from this remarkable archive can once again be made available to the Second Life community.

This will be a carefully curated collection. Fred will decide which creations from his archives he wishes to release, and those pieces will be added to Weathered Woods over time. Each Marketplace listing will preserve the appropriate creator attribution and acknowledge the history behind the work.

For me, having Fred’s work represented alongside my own creations at Weathered Woods is an extraordinary honor. I look forward to helping preserve this little piece of Second Life history and making Fred and Debbie’s creations available for others to discover and enjoy again.

Please Note! Platform Availability Notice


The Phaze Archive will be curated separately for Second Life and OpenSim. Items, versions, permissions, and availability may differ between platforms.

Each platform will feature content specifically selected and approved for release there. An item available on one platform should not be assumed to be available on the other.

All original creator credits and applicable licensing will be preserved.

To Address any confusion:

A Note About the Phaze Archive

I would like to clarify the purpose of this project.

The Phaze Collection represents archived Second Life creations by Fred Beckhusen and Debbie Edwards. Our goal is preservation—to restore these precious assets, keep them from being lost to time, and allow selected creations to be enjoyed again in the environment for which they were originally created.

These are not simply files that can automatically be moved to OpenSim. Some contain Second Life-specific scripts and functionality that would need to be rewritten or adapted for OpenSim before they could work properly.

We are also not using Second Life Marketplace primarily as a money-making venture. It is the Second Life distribution portal available to us, making it a practical way to preserve and provide access to selected pieces from the archive.

OpenSim is separate. Fred has generously provided creations to the OpenSim community through Outworldz for well over a decade, and new resources continue to be added there. We do not distribute through Kitely Market. We distribute here:
https://outworldz.com/

Many of our OpenSim friends also maintain homes and avatars in Second Life. Those are the people this announcement was intended to reach. We are part of communities that overlap; enjoying one virtual world does not require us to stop enjoying another.

Most importantly, this project is about preservation, respect for the original creators, and ensuring that an important collection of virtual-world creativity survives to be enjoyed again. ❤️

Added my Onboarding Widget today to the DragonCommand Platform. This should help cut down on Support Tickets for Grid Owners from folks who might find it difficult Creating an Account and/or Avatar:
ONBOARDING WIDGET — THE FLOW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
State 1: Just registered (Hatchling)
→ Right-side popup appears
→ Step 1 ✅ Account Created & Verified
→ Step 2 → Create Your Avatar (CTA button)
→ Step 3 🔒 Log In via Firestorm (locked)

State 2: Avatar created (Fledgling)
→ Step 1 ✅
→ Step 2 ✅
→ Step 3 → Download Firestorm + Login URI
→ Widget shows one more time then gone

State 3: Has logged in before
→ NO WIDGET — they know what they're doing
That's it. Once they complete all steps and they have their Avatar and they are in-world, the widget disappears forever! (It is dismiss-able in the meantime if they get irritated with it. It just appears at each log-in until the user creates their Avatar. Can be disabled for System Admins who do not intend to create avatars.
