Third issue of The Primgraph now available!

The Third Issue of The Primgraph is now available!

Our featured sim this month is our most steampunk yet – the amazing group of sims that make up Steelhead.  And yet, on closer exploration, you might decide that it is more gaslit fantasy than steampunk …

What’s the difference?  Read the magazine and find out!

You may have notice that the “look” of this magazine has changed.  This is all due to the energy and enthusiasm of our new graphic artist, Miss Wren Carling, and we hope you enjoy the results of her efforts as much as we do!

Our primary focus this time around is the marvellous steampunk sims of Steelhead, where the Pacific Northwestern United States comes alive in the Second Life world in the form of a friendly and active community.  We also take the opportunity to introduce you to one of Steelhead’s more prominent sub-groups – immigrants from another dimension known as “Europa Wulfenbach”.  The estimable Baron Klaus Wulfenbach maintains a consulate in Steelhead (as well as other places), and has also brought through a number of … interesting individuals called “Jägerkin”, who have an active presence in Second Life.  In addition, our Book Review section includes a look at the ongoing history of Europa Wulfenbach called Girl Genius, amongst several other literary offerings of both the print and Aetheric kind.

We also, of course, have our several continuing items, beginning with the next instalment of The Mysteries of London, which introduces an important new character.  “Clio’s Mirror” reflects on the year 1830, and our excerpt from Miss Henrietta Sowle’s I Go A-Marketing is a bit longer than usual this time, as we wanted to share with you her thoughts on the culinary aspects of both the American Thanksgiving and of Christmas.  We also have a shorter item from London Labour, focusing on what one might have heard on the streets of Victorian London.  Sir JJ Drinkwater of the Caledon Library has kindly provided two further updates on their collections … and we also have received permission to print another pair of letters from the two gentlemen who are “Exiled on the Grid”.

On a different note, Miss Ceejay Writer has given us a report on “Burlesque for Polite Society”, which mentions both the history of this art form and New Babbage’s New Champagne Rooms.  And we also are delighted to introduce two new writers on matters of Fashion and Style: Miss M0lly Dench, who provides her thoughts on her visit to Steelhead and its shops; and A Lady, whose regrettable addiction to Shopping should, nonetheless, provide our readers with very valuable information about the clothing and items that are available across Second Life.

How do I get my copy of The Primgraph?
