Fantasy Faire 2013 – I Think I Was Kidnapped By Elves!

Fantasy Faire 2013 is held in a land far away and as a blogger for the event, Dwarfins boss Dwarfins Judy has kindly allowed me to take up accomodation at the Dwarfins Store, which also happens to be the home of the Flaming Tankard Inn. On Tuesday night, I had some some strange experiences there, which meant I was out of action all day Wednesday!

Things started reasonably well, I returned to the accomodation after a hard working day.

Once inside I noticed The Dwarfins staff hard at work, meeting and greeting people.

On duty at the time was Olga Rockbeard.

Thorrak Rockbeard was also on duty.

They introduced me to an acquaintance in the shape and form of Fio’O Krolmskull Bethune.

At this stage nothing untoward had happened. I merrily chatted away and then decided to relax in the Flaming Tankard.

Fio : “Who is that?”

Olga : “He’s some sort of reporter, Judy said we need to look after him.”

Thorrak nodded agreement “Fio, keep an eye on him in there, Judy said we’re not to let him get drunk.”

I stepped into the inn.

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Dwarfins Items And Hunt Items

The Dwarfins store at Fantasy Faire 2013 is a hive of activity, that’s me in the foreground looking for a means of escape as their drunken bawdiness spills over into serious rowdiness. However The Dwarfins team have been working hard and Dwarfins Judy managed to introduce me to some of the wares they have for this year’s Faire, then afterwards I went photo snapping the Dwarfins staff….. I may have done this sneakily, although I’m sure this wasn’t the cause of the bar brawl!

“Well for a start we have Wizard and Enchantress Dwarfins – These are Dwarfins that are made specially for Fantasy Faire, we have tried to capture the colours of RFL as well as the magical and fantasy aspects of the faire. The Dwarfins each come with a special food that these people of magic particularly enjoy, a weeks supply of mushrooms. These Dwarfins will be sold at the faire with all proceeds going to RFL.”

An Image Should Be Here — Dwarfins Wizard

“Interactive Magic Book – We felt that any good wizard and enchantress would have a book of magic, this book acts as an interactive with the dwarfins and will work with any dwarfin, it works as all of our interactives work, just set the book down within the range of your dwarfins and sit back and watch them practice their magic. (the red markers are just indicators to show you where the dwarfins will go to interact with the book, if you long left click on the book a menu will pop up allowing you to turn the markers off). The magic books will be sold at the faire with all proceeds going to RFL.”

Fantasy Faire 2013 – Dwarfins Introduction

I’ve blogged about Dwarfins before, indeed I own Dwarfins. As part of my Fantasy Faire 2013 assigned missions, I’ve been asked to blog some more about Dwarfins and this was a welcome task, and not just because they’re releasing wizard avatars and Dwarfins at Fantasy Faire 2013 but that sure helps!

The first thing to remember here is that as well as being a great event for the fantasy community in Second Life, Fantasy Faire is also part of the relay for life fundraising effort. Judy Chestnut explains why this is important for her:

“I have lost a lot of people close to me that were much too young. In particular my mother who was only 48 when she found out she had breast cancer and 50 when she lost her fight. She participated in a clinical trial after she was diagnosed, for a drug that is now widely used and helping other women. My uncle who passed away from brain cancer at the age of 50, was misdiagnosed for 2 years before they correctly diagnosed him. My sister in law who passed away at the age of 36 from breast cancer, her cancer had spread to her brain and had not been found there until it was too late.

Research, diagnostic training for doctors, support for survivors and caregivers and the fight for one more birthday, because by that next birthday, there may be a cure. Those are the reasons that I support relay for life.”

Dwarfins is a breedables venture in Second Life, where you breed, well Dwarfins! They create birthrocks together that have traits when they are birthed and of course, some traits are more valuable than others.These traits have the potential to be passed on to their offsprings. Jaimy Hancroft, artist for Dwarfins has created some pictures to advertise some of the features of Dwarfins.

Dwarfins also have interactive items, they like a drink that’s for sure!

Dwarfins Release Altar Of Eternity

Dwarfins, the breedable game involving Dwarf like Dwarfins, have released an eternal altar which means you can keep your most treasured Dwarfins around until infinity and beyond …. or something like that.

A blog post explaining how this works has appeared on The Dwarfins Website. An eternal Dwarfin has pro’s and cons. The pro’s:

Never has to eat again.
Does not age.
Still interacts with our Interactive objects.
Still animates, walks around, etc.
Will give you all its gold before becoming Eternal.

However an eternal Dwarfin isn’t as capable as a mortal Dwarfin.

My First Dwarfins Reach Old Age

I’m sad … oh there’s an inviting opening for abuse but yes, I’m sad, it has happend, my first Dwarfins have reached old age and they waved a teary goodbye 🙁

Now I can return Ciaran and Jezebel and cash in the gold they earned mining, but they’re my first Dwarfins and I don’t want to see them go 🙁 I think I will have to keep them, as heads of the family. I mean they haven’t got jiggy with it, because Dwarfins don’t do that, but they have created other Dwarfins together!
