It’s built out of bits and prims in SecondLife (instead of bricks and plaster), but it’s as “real” a place as Paris or Mumbai. People from all over the world “go” there daily to build fantastic machines,

From our New Babbage correpondent, Beq JanusAs previously reported the pigmented attacks on New Babbage were defeated after a combined assault by the New Babbage navy and an ad-hoc group of New Babbage citizens. And now, as the ship lays stricken in the port still leaking its foul cargo into the sea, the city is faced with the challenge of removing the visible stains left by the onslaught.I

Today I have some sad news to share with you.After a lot of reflection and discussion, we have decided to close The Primgraph as a magazine. It will continue as – I hope – a very active blog, with its mixture of news and events and the occasional story.The Quest for the Golden Prim will also continue as a free-standing quarterly. Indeed, we are looking into ways to bring this to a wider

Breaking news from our reporter in New Babbage, Beq Janus.As reported earlier today the patience of the citizens of New Babbage had been pushed beyond breaking point. This evening a purple posse descended upon the Port area of New Babbage with only one thing in mind. To put a stop to the perpetrator of this purple pigmented persecution. Gathering upon the quayside armed with wrenches and all

For nearly a week not the citizens of New Babbage have lived under fire; a barrage of burgundy bombs launched upon the city by an evil genius.Our New Babbage reporter Beq Janus who broke the news of this attack last weekend posted the following report this morning.I woke this morning, this the sixth morning since the barrage began, and stared out across a sea of purple rooftops.

I attended a show of the Changhigh Trinity Sisters for the first time two years ago at the Fantasy Fair 2009 and I was immediately hooked. I became a fan and I started to follow them as often as I could. At the Fantasy Faire of 2010 I bid hard to win a show of theirs at the fair auction. Attending their fire show is an a amazing experience, as one is caught in a variety of colors and sounds.

Storytelling is an old art, almost lost, that in Second Life has found a new renaissance. Aianna is a veteran and a star of SL storytelling. Her debut in July 2007 filled almost two sims and since then she has told her stories in too many occasions to be counted. She has read original work, poetry, classical fairytales and also told stories made on the moment for the audience.  For this Relay

We were live for 13 hours today on Fantasy Faire Radio. It was on-air fund-raising at it's best. It told Relay's story. Our story. It raised alot of money. Up $1400 USD to bring us to $16,000 USD.  Tone Uriza played his heart out & an army of great DJ's kept the dance party moving. It was fun & exciting! Faire Justice fell on Erin Talamasca, Morgaine Price & Khyle Sion but generosity freed them.

The annual Fantasy Faire is a 9-sim extravaganza celebration with a slant toward elves, fairies, dragons, mermaids plus many more role playing fans. The 10 day event features some amazing and impressive builds to visit and is part of the Relay For Life in SL campaign to benefit the American Cancer Society.Sadly, we were only able to share with you a relatively small part of this terrific event -

This was easier yesterday. Compare this years numbers to last years. Where were we on this day a year go? This Day 3 is like that Day 6. Simple math really. Nice neat little charts. But you guys couldn't let it go, could you? Now with over L$3 MILLION RAISED, a 1/2 million MORE than last year (and still 4 days left!) the charts are not so neat! I need bigger charts!

Let me tell you what passes for a slow day around here! We add L$200K to the total. That total goes over $10,000 USD, our final total from 2010 on our 4th day of 2011. It rained L$ as Opal Lei, Lerochelle Destiny, & IshtarAngel Micheline were bailed out and Piedras Chama's beautiful Trees were offered up. But my favorite moment was a visit from Captain Ozz Seattle "These totals are unbelievable

Despite two sim crashes, problems with SL at large, and a tornado in my backyard, day 3 of the Faire has raised over L$250,000.  Also, we learned a few things; Evie can bring in the bucks even when her sim is offline; Saffia looks smashing as a Mer even in leg irons (tail irons?);  The Captain has the Lindens on speed dial;  And there is no challenge we can't meet working together.  Yeah, we knew

Day 2 of Fantasy Faire  saw celebrities Jailed and Bailed, matching challenges issued & met, milestones reached and even more outpouring of generosity.  Day 2 raised more than L$500,000, took the total to the 2 Million Linden mark and beyond and saw more green dots on the map than any day of any preeceeding year.  Fantasy Faire is the top pick in the SL Destination Guide, and with good reason.

What on earth was happening?It was not long before I came upon a man with a small satchel of these posters. He claimed to be a deputy of Sherif Nevar Lobo of the Friends Fighting Cancer.
