One of the things you should really be aware about role play is that it can be quite time consuming. In better sims there is always something going on, you can try hard to achieve perfection in it, you can study a lot, talk a lot and so on. This can lend to the fact that some …

One of the most askes questions: is Gor about discriminating women? (Getting to know about Gor, Part 4)
One of the toughest and most asked questions around is, if Gor is quite discriminating against women or not. Many just find the whole setup and role play quite disgusting because of the use of slaves, pleasure slaves, their punishments and the role women at whole play in that kind of medieval society. So, how …

The Lindens just continue as they planned to do…
Yesterday M Linden aka Mark Kingdon, CEO of Linde Lab, published an open letter to the community, in which he heralded the nice community base of this world, their devotion and layed out the future plans of Linden Lab for the Open Spaces sims.

Is there such a thing like just one true Gorean role play at all? (Getting to know about Gor, Part 3)
One quite frequent discussion on all Gorean groups and channels in Second Life is, if there is such a thing like one true Gorean role play or not. Normally the people then take two main stances. There are the people who want to play as according to the books in Second Life as possible and dislike …

An open spaces sim is 1/4 of a normal sim, so four of them are running on one core of …

Some common prejudices about Gor and reality (or: Getting to know Gor, Part 2)
In this article I want to talk about some common prejudices the public has normally about Gorean roleplay, well the stuff I’ve encountered so far yet, and how it is for real or not.

SLim not so slim — yet
The Lindens have recently announced a new preview of the SLim client, free for download. First you need to download a normal, special prepared, fully blown SL viewer, then you need to download the SLim viewer, too. Both are no leightweight downloads at the moment, so it wonders how “slim” SLim is going to be in the …

Getting to know about GOR — Part 1
This article has been wandering in my mind for quite some days now, since I’ve been taking recently a lightly interest in so called Gorean role play in second life. I am now over two years in Second Life, but never really paid any attention to it until now, so this is how the state of affairs …
