Do you have an interest in Tudor, England? Have you always wanted to learn more about this intriguing and pivotal period? If yes, Renaissance Island’s Parish of Reading Primley may be the place for you! We are looking for volunteers to roleplay in a small English village. At Renaissance Island we learn through doing. Whatever education, general interest, or roleplaying experience you have, this is an opportunity to participate in a living museum. Mix healing remedies in the apothecary! Stage a play at the Globe Theatre! There are many ideas as to how a Globe Theatre came to be in our Parish! Share a glass of cider at the pub—we’ve been told it’s the best in all the land! Create a book or tell a story! Partake of a jousting tournie or some en garde! Attend a period music concert--or play a tune yourself! There are many, many ways to participate! Residency is not a requirement; i.e. you can roleplay without having to rent (though we are always very appreciative for those who do). You do not even have to be human! Although period clothing is unnecessary for visitors, for those wanting to be part of the Parish, it is required; otherwise, it might call too much attention to ourselves. We’ve done well to not have had any accusations of witchcraft over the years! We’ve also never been visited by the plague. Some say it is because of the cats that roam; others say that it’s the vapors that emanate from our sacred well. We are a very welcoming Parish, as a result. Renaissance Island can never be 100% authentic (the streets are too clean for starters!) but we can take certain measures. Ours is a journey to authenticity as we learn more about the period and building/scripting advances. For instance, birds and quadraped animal avatars need to be species that one would find in a Tudor parish or native to England. There was a time a visiting elephant escaped…. There are several options for characters: HUMANS: Librarian (the sim is sponsored by a library organization, after all!) Teacher Apothecary Baker Printer Blacksmith Vicar Manor servants Tailor Physician Townsfolk Theatre Director Actors Children (Real life adults wearing a child avatar) Tavern Keeper From time to time the Parish may need to contribute to a militia, which in turn would need to have practice and exercises. So far, we’ve never been invaded by outside forces ANIMALS: Farm animals (especially sheep) Dogs Cats Birds native to England Or, pitch us an idea!

The Town of Philomena's public library is hosting it's book club, Vintage Reader's, May 10 from 6PM SLT to 7 PM SLT. The current novel selection is Edna Ferber's Personality Plus. The Vintage Reader's Book Club holds a meeting once a month to discuss a text from the 1910s or earlier. If you enjoy books, tea, and good conversation then please do stop on by and join us. If you haven't been able to read or finish the book, that is fine. You are still heartily welcome.

The Town of Philomena welcomes you to visit our small town set in the Progressive Era of 1910-1919. Philomena is designed as a small town set in America. With its nostalgic view of the past, the community boasts a park, library, chapel, trolley, museums, shops, and homes. We are not a strict Role-play community, but view ourselves as a venue for virtual living history where we engage in light, situational role-play and enjoy the lifestyle, history, and education the theme offers. Dressing in period clothing and using period items is strongly encouraged. If interested in joining our growing community, please contact Thaddeus Nadeau.

Does anyone know which places have free Napoleonic clothes? I am looking for historical clothes that I can afford and since I am a newbie, my money is low.
