[OR from the Visitor’s Center, use the scripted teleport for the White Mansion.]
In NeoVictoria, we do free-form dark roleplay. Free-form means there is no script; scenes evolve out of real-time character interactions. Dark roleplay means characters may act in aggressive, predatory, criminal and/or plain uncomfortable ways.
We use a simple dice-based wearable HUD called the NeoVictoria Roleplay Tool; avatars must wear this to see the roleplay chat. The item is free and available in our Visitor Center and various locations on our out-of-character skymall.
Players don’t have to be a member of our group to roleplay here; we do ask newcomers take a tour of the Visitor Center in NeoVictoria SIM to learn about the storyworld before joining in the roleplay. [Observer tags are also available for players who want to visit the land level, but not roleplay.]

Fantasy Faire is Second Life’s largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts & performers. It’s eighteen day of commerce, special events, music & fundraising in sixteen SIMs created specifically for this event. Proceeds go to the American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life” fundraising effort. Last year’s Fantasy Faire raised more than US$50,000!
And we’re doing meet-and-greet events on Riven’s fantastical Arabian steampunk-inspired region named “Tensor’s Flying Market“. These are out-of-character events where players from the NeoVictoria community will be available to discuss the project, the story-world and how to get involved. [There will even be a stage where folks can practice role-playing!]
Taught by MadMechaMessiah
Throughout fiction, we regularly encounter three basic character arcs: Positive, Negative, and Flat. This class is devoted to breaking down these character arcs, explaining why they all can make for satisfying character progression, and discussing why not only writers should make use of them but us roleplayers.
The NeoVictoria Project invites all citizens and wanderers of the Fairelands to join us for our Meet-and-Greet on the Tensors’ Flying Market SIM. We will talk to them out-of-character, explain our storyworld, and let them practice rp on our in-character stage.
Many groups do them; some folks love them and others avoid them like plague. This class will delve into how SIM-wides can be used to bring communities together, how they can be abused, and what we can do as players and admins, to make them better!
