Sacks of Gorean Vegetables



Trace is a fanatic right now when it comes to sculpties and has been on a mission to find as many as he can! He ran across these great sacks and threw them out and then did what he does best ... convinced me that I was better at making food look realistic and went off to roleplay while I tried to make these sacks into something we could be proud of. The only problem with this is ... Trace is an expert at making amazing things AND being quick about it. It takes me FOREVER to make something be just the way I want it to be. (You think this has anything to do with me being a female???)

So I tried to find/create some textures that I felt were realistic but I just wasn't satisfied with the one prim texture and opted for the multi-prim foods instead. Yes, they make the build a bit more prim-heavy but I am MUCH happier with the result. Trace and I both agree that we'd rather have more prims with a better quality item than a low-prim piece that left a bad taste in our mouth.

With that said, we present our newest addition to our kitchen/tavern line ... gorean sacks of vegetables including suls (potatoes), yellow onions, and red onions. Enjoy!

Rustic Tavern Table & Dance Pit Set


I am always roaming about, looking on Gorean sims and other medieval-type roleplay areas to get ideas for builds that I want to create. Trace and I have agreed that there are already some amazing things out there but that, sometimes, in haste to get things out there, quality is pushed aside. I happened along one Gorean sim a while back (I think the sim has been rebuilt by now) and saw a tavern that I wasn't too impressed with but I LOVED the way the dance pit had been sunk into the ground with a lil table area wrapped around it. It reminded me of the one in Treve way back when I had first danced for my Master. Inspired, I tucked the idea back into my inventory and finally got around to making my own version of it.

It is, of course, like my other dance pits, completely modifiable. All the great dances I have found are (of course) no copy, no transfer so the ones included in this set you DEFINATELY want to replace. With the script included, it is totally easy to add your own dances and make this pit the highlight of your tavern or even private residence. Be sure to read the included notecard on how to do this so you don't mess up along the way!

This new release is offered as a set (pictured) or you can buy the pit and pillows seperate to mix and match to your heart's content!

Broken Windmill Tower


We were building a camp for Trace's new outlaw group in the Sardar Passage and he had mentioned how it would be cool to have a windmill as a lookout tower for the camp. Gotta love my business partner ... he had this great idea, started on it and then got side-tracked (for those of you that know him, you KNOW what I mean!). Well in the process, the sandbox we were working on self-cleaned and we basically lost what he had started. So I took the idea to our building pad, embellished it with my passion for broken-down things and *wallah* ... we present the newest addition to our rustic line. My thought on this was to make it more than just a broken-down windmill. I wanted a place where one could not only look out from the tower but maybe even snipe incoming attackers, etc. from the expanded platform. We added a "climb" script so all you have to do is right click on the ladder, "climb" and you are ready to rock-n-roll!
