Every year we do a special roleplay cycle to celebrate our anniversary. This year, we’ll be ELEVEN years old! Look for many days of roleplay revolving around a terrible sickness that starts in the mind and ends …well, join us and see!
Begins 15 October and ends 15 November

In association with Radio Nightingale, NeoVictoria is having a Halloween Costume bash to celebrate one of our favorite holidays. Radio Nightingale will broadcast the event over their main channel and we’ll have a costume party in the NeoVictoria Skyclub with a steampunk theme. Dress your avatar in scary Steampunk, Victorian, Mecha, or Goth style and join us in Machinima SIM.
5 November
To celebrate the 533rd anniversary of Guy Fawkes Day, the city of NeoLondon plans a gala event. Mr. Fawkes was a famous shapeshifter who used his skills to amass gunpowder (and it was rumored there were other fell objects) beneath the parliament building in 1605. In imitation of Guy, don masks, change your shape and hair, disguise your voice (or rp style) and join in the frivolity.
11 November
Often sponsored by local veteran associations, “Clockwerk Galas” are very popular affairs, serving as fund-raisers and recruitment. The most amazing is held every Fall in Old London on Old Earth, it runs a fortnight with the oldest houses vying to raise the most money with fantastical parties and auctions. The “Royal Clockwerk Ball” closes the festivities; its held in Buckingham Slithen and all the Court attends. Here the most valiant of the year’s warriors are awarded the Sidhe Cross.
21 December
Our traditional end-of-year IC celebration. As ever, tied to the actual Winter solstice!
Lots of roleplay happens that’s not planned, or only planned a week in advance, so join our in-world group or public announcer for as-it-happens alerts!
Please join us for an out-of-character town hall tomorrow (Friday, 20 August 2021)! We’ll be discussing the September anniversary events and the state of the project. We are doing two townhalls, the first for folks in the UK and EU, and the latter for the folks in the Americas.

It’s an 8 gift mini-hunt!
The only Victorian Steampunk-themed grid-wide hunt in SecondLife is produced by Historical Hunts. This is our 11th year contributing and this year we’re stop 82!
We usually do a mini-hunt: this one features lovely, pirate themed props and accessories!
We have eight gifts staged throughout our Pirate Lair (created exclusively for this hunt!) on the skylevel of NeoVictoria SIM.
Our skylevel is always out-of-character (OOC), so hunters won’t disrupt the roleplay.
Here’s the list:
A special thank you to MadMechMessiah and Paisley Dawes for producing this event, and to contributors Studio Yue and Ava Bloodrose Delaney for their generous gifts!
We had a great party in the skyclub on 30 December with Gabrielle Riel as our DJ and streaming it live on Radio Riel’s steampunk channel! Below are some pictures from the event!
Claire Morset did not attend the event.

And we’re having a party in the NeoVictoria Skyclub to celebrate the excellent work and reward the folks who did it! Live DJ Gabrielle Riel of Radio Riel will be spinning tunes and there will be a very special souvenir given to all the folks who attend.
