[QUOTE="LunarCrystal, post: 5358486, member: 97310"] Hi there, I realize the post is a bit outdated now, and for all I know, you've learned all you wanted about Second Life. I just hated most of the answers you got, because in my experience SL has been very good to me. Then again, I managed to find a niche pretty quickly. Most people may log into SL and not have anything to do, and they get "bored" and drop it. They didn't look for other people to talk to, or search for events going on (of which hundreds are being hosted every day), or bother exploring . . . I also don't like it when people make a point to tell you that the stuff you can buy through Second Life is NOT free, like the account and basic avatar is. What they fail to mention is that whatever you usually buy through SL goes to a private individual - a small business, if you will. By singing, as I'm a singer, I've been able to make a little income performing around SL and earning tips. Others make clothes, or furniture, or just do scripting, or texturing, and it pays for things they may need in Real Life. I came across your post when I did a random search on Google for Dungeons and Dragons and Second Life. I thought it would be a great use of the tool that is Second Life to host D&D games, since there's voice chatting, costumes for characters, even magical abilities one can use... streaming music, fantasy settings, could be virtual LARPing or just pen and paper style at someone's virtual house. If you ever pop into Second Life, you can look me up. I've got a venue and house and things. ^.^ Selene Audion is me . . . but also known as Carol Belle in real life. [/QUOTE]
