Sadie : The Mask

"My eyes glanced over the butterflies as all the warmth from the colors surrounded me. I sat down for a moment onto the hard surface and peered out over the darkness in front of me. My eyes drifted to the mask in the corner. It’s dark eyes seemed to penetrate through me. As if it could see and hear every thought in my head. With each blink the area around me changed. Little flecks of fire soared through the air." Read more on the blog.

"I imagine that it might be difficult to find things to appreciate, with COVID and all, but where I live, we just 'celebrated' Thanksgiving. It was not easy, as family had to stay apart instead of coming together as usual. At least, though, we were alive to hopefully meet in person next year ... and in times of stress and uncertainty, it is very vital to focus on positives. It certainly made me grateful that there are technological advances to allow us to communicate with each other, which at least allowed my family to talk to each other!" Read more on the blog.

Second Life Destinations: Nord Storm
https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/6593-second-life-destinations-nord-storm/
Nord Storm is a vast steampunk roleplaying experience featuring an abandoned laboratory, a sacred cathedral, retro gadgets, and more in a wintery mountain town.
For those unfamiliar, steampunk is a retrofuturistic subgenre of science fiction, and it has a sizable devotion in Second Life with many steampunk regions to explore. Nord Storm is a huge region with architecture and technology bearing the distinct aesthetic of what would be considered futuristic through a 19th-century lens.
Upon arrival, you are greeted with the message: “Here you can fight monsters, solve puzzles, upgrade avatar skills, craft, cook your own food, earn experience coins, play team games, fish, compete with other residents in skills, and much more... The game is available to all users.” Sounds like enough activity to fill up what’s left of 2020!
You first enter Nord Storm at an open air train station. In order to participate in the game component of the experience, you can receive a HUD from a machine nearby. The HUD has a built-in collision-based combat system. To hunt ghosts, you don't have to wear a combat system, but if you want your avatar to be able to deal damage to them, the combat system will allow you to do so.
You are free to explore on foot, but who wouldn’t want to use the time machine? All you have to do is launch the portal by reclining in the car seat. Click on the monitor to select one of the many locations in this world.
Be sure to keep an eye out for places marked with gold coins. When you sit at the designated earning spot, coins will be credited once a minute and can be used to purchase different items that enhance gameplay in the shop. You can also redeem prizes in the factory once you accrue enough experience points.
More details, pictures, and maps can be found at the official Nord Storm website.
For those more interested in admiring the architecture and environment than the gaming aspect, there is no pressure to conform to any specific gameplay rules. Everybody is welcome to visit the church, peruse the library, enjoy a quiet moment in the garden, or take a ride in the steampunk train.
If you’d like to adorn your avatar in steampunk attire, the marketplace has outfits and accessories for all levels of commitment. This region takes winter wonderland to the next level with the highly detailed levels of interactivity, gorgeous terrain, and hidden treats. Let Nord Storm whisk you away today.
