Freebies ~ RP Realm Gifts!

Newbies these days are SPOILED! Spoiled, I tell you! Back in my day, we wore freebie dungeon non flexi MS paint wings and bling eyeballs and system skirts, and RPed uphill both ways!
No, but seriously. I've been digging through a lot of RP realms lately and I've noticed they all set out a lot of freebies that are actually very nice! I took the boxes of freebs half expecting to be blinded as soon as I rezzed the box to open it (the freebie dungeons scarred me), but I was very wrong, and I'm very glad I was! Here's a couple of things I've found so far that I love: ~

Dress ~ Mystara (landing) ~ Saltorello Blue & Brown Dresses (0L)
Hair ~ Boon ~ Hair OCI185 Mat (0L)
Shell Jewelry ~ Fire Storm Creations ~ Shells of Ua, White & tan (Notfree)
Location ~ Pirate Island of Jabberwock (Pirate RP sim, info at landing!)

The Saltorello dress comes with both a blue and brown corset & skirt, which I've mixed and matched. Thanks, mysterious creator of Mystara! 
And below, we have a male and female RP outfit from Everwind ~


Outfits ~ Everwind (landing) ~ Sean (men's) and Grace (Women's) (0L)
Hair ~ D!va ~ Chisato, Cat's Eye (Former group gift, more gifts and Lucky Boards up now though!)
Necklace ~ Fire Storm Creations ~ Shells of Ua, White & tan (Notfree)
Location ~ Mirromere

The outfits free at Everwind are done by (I think) Fantasia of Fantasia & Elements, who are absolutely amazing. (Are they one store? Two stores? Peanut butter and jelly? If I'm being honest... no idea) I could've guessed it was them when I first put it on and saw the beautiful, unique design and delicious textures. I stared at that dress for ten minutes before thinking I should maybe take a picture, heh. It's now moved to a permanent spot in my inventory, in my RP dresses folder! Yaaay!

Thank you to the creators who've made these available to us! Also, thanks to the sims who're open to visitors and provide so much info and help and, in these cases, beautiful freebies to fantasy and roleplayer geeks like me!

Freebies ~ Elvenbreath's Key and Overt Gift!

More freebies tonight!
First off, it looks like ~*Elvenbreath*~ is holding a little hunt! TP in, and look amongst the keys scattered across the store for one marked for sale, and inside will be a christmas gift for you! I'm not sure how long this hunt will last, but I'm guessing till Christmas. Go!

Dress ~ Elvenbreath ~ Cinnamon (Hunt gift, 0L)
Hair ~ 3636 ~ Noella, black (Christmas gift under the tree, 0L)
Feet ~ Mayden Couture ~Profile Pick Gift (0L)
Earrings ~ Tekeli-li ~ Lantern Earrings (1L)
Jewelry ~ Tekeli-li ~ Inanna (Notfree)
Ears ~ Plastik ~ Animalistic, Plain (Notfree)
Skin ~ F'd Up ~ Elai (Store no longer exists)
Location ~ the Hollow Earth, outside Tekeli-li

I'm not sure why I'm a dark-haired faerie drow, but lets go with it. I feel preettyyy, oh soo preettyyy! Elvenbreath is also going to be holding another color-specific 50% off sale this next week, on RED this time! It's not up yet, but I'll post when it is!

You can't tell really well from the pictures, but the eyes I'm wearing in these pics are different from what I normally wear. They're freebies from the amazing Ibanez Eyes, which can be found under the christmas tree at Evie's Closet! Ibanez Eyes is one of the best ~ especially for fantasy ~ eye stores on the grid. If you like eyes and things, definitely be sure to stop by Evie's christmas tree. For more info on the gifts at Evie's, check this post!

Also, while wandering around, I found an awesome store and in it was an awesome free dress. Go!

Dress ~ Overt ~ Patterns Gift Dress (0L)
Backpack ~ Everwind ~ Travellers Backpack (0L)
Hair ~ 3636 ~ Noella, black (Christmas gift under the tree, 0L)
Location ~ Everwind (Fantasy RP realm, info and pack at landing!)


My, was Everwind pretty. I didn't get to take a long look before I crashed to death - might've been shadow's fault, alas - but it looked amazing. One more RP sim added to my LM folder! Also, go to Tekeli-li and visit the Hollow Earth. Everyone needs to go at least once. It's one of my favorite places to go and just... sit. It's so interesting.

Now go forth and gobble freebies, little ones, and make your own little fantasies!

Freebies ~ Piles of Presents from EMO-tions and MORE!

EMO-tions is in the holiday gift-giving mood, which means presents for us!

I feel like I'm about to go Super-Saiyan.
Dress/kilt ~ EMO-tions ~ Harmony (Mainstore giftpile, 0L)
Hair ~ EMO-tions ~ Ricarda, black (Mainstore giftpile, 0L)
Gloves & Boots ~ Super Possessed ~ Marauder (Lucky chair, 0L)
Sword ~ Super Possessed ~ Fenrir's Tooth (0L)

Eye Scar ~ Overt ~ (notfree)

I've combined the men's outfit (kilt - cape also included) with the women's (dress top - boa and skirt also included) 'cause I'm cool. There's a LOT of gifts, located in the mainstore on a table inside, including more hair, accessories, a christmassy outfit, and more!


Speaking of piles of presents, Evie's Closet has added to their pile too! (Click here to see some of their other presents!) And be sure to check back to Fallen Gods Inc, because their presents are being added to as well.


I love the Holidays! Thanks to all the stores here for their awesome generosity.  <3

Freebies & Cheapies ~ This week's WHITE ARMORY gifts & Free Ice Skates!

It's Sunday, which means a new group gift and cheapie from The White Armory!

Dress ~ The White Armory ~ Crimson Solstice (Group gift, 0L)
Hair ~ Truth ~ Janelle (Notfree)
Ears ~ Plastik ~ Animalistic, Plain (Notfree)
Location ~ Mystara (Fantasy RP Sim, visitor tag and info at landing!)

And this week's 50L gown is the light version of the Fairie Gown set! Ooooh, so pretty.


Thank you Bee & Colton! <3
I like how their advert pictures are so amazing, too. They're gorgeous and artsy, but show you perfectly what you're buying, but doesn't exaggerate the beauty of their gowns at all!

Also, not exactly fantasy, but The White Armory also put out free male and female old-fashioned ice skates in their new Fantasy Ice Ballroom! Just take the red teleporter up when you TP in, and run into the warm lil cabin ~

The realm of Mystara, by the way, is a gorgeous sim. I wandered around forever with my little observer tag and took a thousand pictures ~ most of which I wasn't in, heh ~ and had to take great pains to avoid the many RPers. It looks like a promising Fantasy RP realm, and it's been added to my LM folder for places to have one of my lil fantasies. ~

Freebies ~ MORE SILKS and other goodies!

While traveling the grid today in search of more fantasy roleplay stores to add to the directory, I found a few random freebies I thought I'd share! This post'll show you some cool freebies from House of Alcott, Fire Horse, and Trident.

Silks ~ House of Alcott ~ White Pearl Silks (0L)
Hair ~ Exile ~ Rina, Chocolate Swirl (Subscribo gift, in history 0L)
Feet & anklets ~ Mayden Couture ~Profile Pick Gift (0L)

Not much coverage there on that one, but then again that makes a good silk set. Also, these silks were made for GUYS! (Yum!) In fact, one of the cool things I noticed about both House of Alcott/Damian's Desires and Fire Horse is that the majority of outfits and things there were made for guys. I definitely approve; we need more fantasy and roleplay gear for the male population! Amongst the men's fantasy outfits at Fire Horse though, I spotted two boxes for a white Roman-style toga - one for guys, one for girls. Here's the girl's one ~

Outfit ~ Fire Horse ~ Roman Toga (0L)
Hair ~ MAGIKA ~ Delora, Brown (0L)
Feet ~ Mayden Couture ~Profile Pick Gift (0L)
(Sandals, worn on same attach point as feet and modded to fit, are ooold, and I can't find them)

And not only is almost everything I'm wearing free, but everything else IN these pictures is too! I don't normally go looking for things other than clothes and accessories, but the bath and tower and tree in those pics came to me, and I'm glad they did!
At the House of Alcott in front of the nearly naked man cutout wearing the free pearl silks you'll find two boxes set to 0L - one with the bath, the other with the tower. As you can see, they're gorgeous!
And at T R I D E N T, under the yule trees, you'll find a gift with the wintery Robin Tree inside!

Thanks to these lovely vendors, who've so generously contributed to my little fantasies. ~

Freebies & Cheapies ~ Gift from ARWEN'S! And Elvenbreath Sale!

I logged in this morning to an AWESOME surprise from one of my favorite stores, !** Arwen's Creations **!
I put on my group tag (free to join!) and TP'd to the store, and above the Free Women Starter Kit gift was another gift - One of Arwen's gorgeous new cloaks in an exclusive holiday red!

Cloak ~ !**Arwen's Creations**! ~ Biera Hood, red (Group gift, 0L)
Dress ~ Madison's Creations ~ Medieval Gown (0L)
Location ~ ViGo Market

SO PRETTY! Thank you Arwen! <3
It comes with different hood and fuzz options. It's absolutely gorgeous, and is tempting me to buy all of the other newly released cloaks! Actually, it's tempting me to buy one of everything in that store. Arwen's gowns and accessories are beautiful and detailed, and have very merciful price tags!


Another good store also had good news - Elvenbreath is celebrating a new release with a 50% off sale this week on all things white! All sale items are marked by a lil gold heart.
So if you were planning on shopping at Elvenbreath and buying, say, the ethereal Linume Dress, now would be a good time! Here's a small taste of what's waiting for you at ~*Elvenbreath*~

Freebies ~ Arwen's FREE Free Women! ~

I love my fantasy as much as the next nerd, but when it comes to my Gorean RP, I am very By-The-Books. One of my pet peeves is Free Women who do not dress or act like it. I know a lot of outfitters don't make clothes more conservative than a tavern wench, but there are options, girls!
In fact, the best and most amazing option - to simply add a touch of modesty and elegance to your favorite outfits - is an easy and FREE option!

BEHOLD! FREE and RECOLORABLE modesty underwear sets for Free Women and other modest women on the grid, courtesy of the absolutely amazing designer at !** Arwen's Creations**! ~


Both sets are included ~ the light, pretty silky set and the warm, course woolen set. Mix and match as you please, as you may only need an undershirt, or just a veil. And it's not just for Goreans; I've used this prettily patterned underwear without the veils and scarves to modest-up some of my medieval dresses too!
The prims are scripted to change color, but all pieces are fully modify, so you can recolor and tint to perfectly match your favorite dresses and outfits! Here's some examples of Gorean Free Woman-friendly outfit modifications:

Before:
OHNO! MY FACE! MY CLEAVAGE! THE SHAME!
Outfit ~ Tyranny Designs/Grixdale ~ Eliza, Sky (Fantasy store currently unavailable)
Hair ~ Truth ~ Janelle (Notfree)
After!
I bring honor to my family and my caste!
Veil, Scarf, Undershirt ~ !**Arwen's Creations**! ~ Free Women Starter Kit (0L)

Before:
Waaah I want to be free and respected but I am only a natural slave!
Outfit ~ Gor Gurls ~ Liberty, red (notfree)
Hair ~ Maitreya ~ Yasmin, Caramel (notfree)
After!
That's "Mistress" Slave, to you!
Veil, Scarf, Undershirt ~ !**Arwen's Creations**! ~ Free Women Starter Kit (0L)
Jewelry ~  Mariposa (on xstreet only) ~ Aubade, Pearl (notfree)

Of course, the level of modesty required in free women varies from town to town - some don't care if you're slave-like if you're a peasant, some don't require headscarves, some require even more bulk to hide your figure, some don't allow you to go outside alone if you're higher caste, etc - most do agree on these things: Non-see-through face veils, covered torsos and arms, and hidden legs.

The Free Woman Starter Kit also comes with a red wool dress, and lots of different caste shawls too! Here I am sporting the colors of the Scribe, my favorite caste ~

Scribe's Caste Shawl ~ !**Arwen's Creations**! ~ Free Women Starter Kit (0L)
Hair ~ Exile (sold @ Savoir Hair) ~ Susan, Coffee (0L)
Outfit ~ **Angelwing** ~ FW Dress, Spring Blue (old MM gift)


And last but not least, we have a Christmas freebie hair wreath!


PHEW! That's a lot of goodies. Thank you, Arwen!

There's nothing better than adding a little variety and spice to your fantasies, and with an internet teeming with slaves and panther girls, I'd say RPing a Free Woman in the world of Gor is the way to go! Especially since getting the clothes for it is now as easy as TPing away. ~
