Build

Living worlds, not empty land

Drop a region server onto your parcel and it becomes part of a working economy — farms, stations, vendors and gatherables that other people have a reason to travel to. No scripting on your part.

  • A finished RPG system, maintained and updated for you
  • Every station customisable to your own mesh and build
  • List your realm in the public directory when you choose to

Craft

Professions that take real work

Gather, smelt, brew, cook and forge. Skills rise through use, and the chain runs deep — starch to sugar, sugar to alcohol, alcohol to something worth aging and bottling.

  • Dozens of documented crafting stations
  • Recipes with genuine input chains, not one-click results
  • Tools wear down; know your durability

Trade

Every coin comes from somebody's work

Nothing is spawned by the system. Every item on every vendor was gathered and made by a player, and priced by what another player will pay for it.

  • Player-run vendors, market hubs and mailboxes
  • Supply chains that cross regions
  • Seal what you make in a crate and sell it for L$ on the Trading Post

Fishing · a game of its own

Second Life fishing, with a real fight

Cast, wait for the bite, then play the fish: reel while it tires, give it line when it runs, or the line snaps. Real species across the realms, rare fish that move to a new realm every week, and record boards for every catch. Free with the HUD, and no roleplay needed.

Two ways in

Whichever end you come at it from

Players need somewhere worth going. Builders need someone to turn up. SL Colonies Roleplay is the same system from both sides.

For players

Pick a trade and work it

Gather, craft, cook, brew, hunt and trade. Professions level through use, and the good stuff is always on somebody else’s parcel — so you travel, and you meet people doing the same.

  • Free to start — you need the HUD and meter, not a subscription
  • Dozens of regions to explore, each with its own rules
  • Achievements, profiles and Discord integration on the way

For world builders

Give your land something to do

Drop in a region server and your parcel becomes part of a working economy — with a reason for players to keep coming back, and no scripting on your part.

  • A finished RPG system, maintained for you
  • Players must visit other lands to progress — that is your footfall
  • Your own realm page, written by you, once you list

33 regions live

One system, no two regions alike

Owners set the theme, the rules and the rhythm. The same economy runs underneath a pirate harbour and an irradiated wasteland.

On the way

Where the system goes next

    Fishing, overhauled

    A real fight on every cast, bait made from what you grow and catch, a live catch used to hook a better one, and rare fish that move to a new realm every week.

    Grafting and grape varieties

    Take a cutting from a ripe vineyard, graft it at the Grafting Table and grow a grape nobody else has. Varieties change the wine itself, and the best only thrive in the soil they ask for.
