Designing Worlds discovers the mystery of the stolen books in New Babbage

Now available on the web - our seasonal New Babbage show! 

There's a coal shortage in snow-covered New Babbage, as Saffia and Elrik pay one of their periodic visits to the steampunk city. But they're just visiting some of the libraries there ... what could possibly go wong?

An Unexpected Encounter in New Babbage

Before long, Saffia and Elrik, aided by the Assistant Maceholder Victor Mornington and Librarian Bookworm Heinrichs - accompanied, of course, by a hapless Mr Biggins - are dragged into an adventure involving stolen books, seasonal curses and a highly dangerous book, fit to be mentioned in the same breath as the Necronomicon and the Book of Al Azarine ...

Designing Worlds pays a seasonal visit to New Babbage - what could possibly go wrong?

Join us at 2pm SLT today, Monday 10th December, for the new episode of Designing Worlds at our studio in Garden of Dreams when we'll be taking a seasonal trip to New Babbage. A rather chilly one too, if all the reports we've heard about the coal shortage are true!

Now, our trips to that industrial steampunk city have not been entirely without incident in the past - what with murders, dangerous dark mermaids, mendacious Santas and purloined diamonds ... to say nothing of Elrik being mistaken for Sherlock Holmes, or that time we discovered the dark secrets under the lost Asylum ...

But really, we're visiting libraries this time! What could possibly go wrong?

Although we might wonder why it's necessary to keep a certain children's book chained up in a locked desk ...

A Taste of Halloween in darkly beautiful Venexia – with Designing Worlds

Venexia

 Join us at 2pm SLT today, Monday 29th October, for the new episode of Designing Worlds at our studio in Garden of Dreams as we visit the darkly beautiful region of Venexia for a really gorgeous Halloween show special.

Venexia is an adult roleplay sim with a vampire theme. It's set in a time when La Serenissima, the beautiful Venice that inspired this region, was at the height of its power and, some would suggest, its decadence. This stunningly lovely region, created by Baal Zobel and Kora Zenovka, certainly promises both power and decadence, and the enthusiastic patrons have evolved a rich and complex roleplay, befitting the surroundings.


The canals of Venexia

Visitors can join in or, if they wish to remain out of character, can simply visit (although we'd recommend you adapt a suitable costume to allow you to discreetly blend with your surroundings).

In the company of the Contessa Seabreeze (who is, under another name, an old friend of the show!), Nena Easterwood and Amberlyssa Marie Bauerhoff, we explore some of the beautiful locations and discuss some of the roles and traditions that are practised in Venexia.



Vampire Ball in Venexia

All this - and a Vampire Ball to attend; very appropriate for Halloween! It makes for a very dark and very beautiful show. So do come and join us at 2pm!
