Ideas for a new 18thc roleplay system are being collected via notecard by Sere.
This collection, including a summary, Ideas for a new HUD system (from users) can be found in the AoR Planning Folder
On August 2, 2020 a "post-mortem" discussion of AES for the Rocca Sorrentina and Queen's Hamlet communities was held.
We talked about:
• what users liked and didn't like about AES
• whether we should look for a replacement system and, if so, what that system should be like
See the discussion transcript, AES "Post-Mortem" in the AoR Planning Folder
Congratulations Renata & Abbondio!
Very much looking forward to this unfolding.
Best wishes all around 
Very interesting indeed! Thanks for sharing
Authentic to Marie-Antoinette's Petit Trianon, this stew stove is a lovely example of an 18th century advancement that saw cooking move from a cauldron at the hearth to a stove with individual fireholes. These stoves allowed for a variance in temperature when cooking in a variety of pots.
In this Second Life version, hexagonal tiles grace the top while burnished dark bronze doors are fit for a queen's kitchen.
Touch for the HUD to turn the fire (low-lag animated) and the sound on/off. Please note that these scripts are copy only.
See it inworld or on the SLM .
Cheers!

How time flies! It's been more than six months since my last journal entry; apparently I've been so engaged playing that writing rather fell by the wayside.
Shortly after the last journal entry, back in June, the focus of our farming in the Queen's Hamlet switched over to using the brand-new Household (HH) functionality. Anastasia, Duchesse de Coeur, stepped in as the QH HH Owner and we adapted our production strategies to better suit our HH needs.
I'm glad to say that controlling the scope of our endeavours proved to be a wise decision. Our QH HH has slowly grown to include seven members, a size that seems to be easily sustainable even during times of transition. It's always good to keep in mind that this active roleplay is for fun!
Tatiana reached level 30 (January 5, 2020). Along the way she worked as a farmer, herbalist, doctor, brewer, and beekeeper. She eagerly grabbed her first official noble title "Chevalier de Provence" (pricey but worth it) and stepped up as the QH HH Manager. She is currently retaining her role as a doctor. Given that no further XP can be gained from crafting after level 29, she expects to be called "the horse of Provence" for the foreseeable future.
Mikhail reached level 20 (January 10, 2020). He has tried his hand as a farmer, butcher, brewer, beekeeper and tavern keeper. As a "townsfolk" he plans to always retain his farmer title but enjoys trying out the new professions as they come along. Perhaps pastry chef is in his future.
We both have enough pocket money to walk around with but the majority of personal funds went to paying for Tatiana's knighthood . A word of advice; if you plan on climbing the ladder of nobility make sure you include a financial strategy early-on so you're not disappointed. This makes for an interesting challenge that certainly adds flavour to the roleplay.
All-in-all, the quest for personal advancement has mellowed allowing for more time looking after the HH including the QH Market and QH Branded Products.
It's wonderful to report that life is good in the Queen's Hamlet!
Experience the joys of baking with this delightful bread & cookie making kit. Mix ingredients, knead dough for bread or roll dough for cookies and when you're all done baking enjoy a slice of fresh bread or a beautiful snowflake Christmas cookie. Lots of little details help add to the overall experience; bread steams when rezzed then cools as it sits, rolling pin pops off the counter into your hand as does the mixing bowl and wooden spoon.
With a variety of lovely accessories, this kit makes your Second Life roleplay both beautiful and a whole lot of fun!
See it inworld or on the SLM .
Happy Baking!
