I think I would actually be pretty interested in this game, though I am usually a little bit too much of a coward to play RPGs (shocker I know since I do play pen and paper as well as Live Action Role Play.) But I tried both legend of Zelda games and Skyrim as well as another game that I unfortunate...

That makes a lot of sense of course; When you know the song it's a lot easier. And being able to read sheet music is probably also a great help too. Sadly I never got any good at that. I am trying to learn to play the german flute though, so I am simultanously being taught sheetmusic which is pretty...

Heh, I just re-read what you said Emily and well... here we are: Journey to Battuu has just been released; A crossover between the sims and StarWars and I've got to say I am pretty curious to see what it will be like. I haven't yet had the time to look into it too much except that it's there, but th...

In recent years there's been a lot of remakes in general, but it's struck me in particular how Disney is remaking a lot of its animated movies into live action movies and I've even watched some of them; Beauty and the Beast springs to mind as the most memorable one. Most recently Mulan has been rele...

Have you ever learned to play an instrument? If so you'll likely have run into this thing called Practice . And exactly that part is what I've always struggled with. For one, how do I motivate myself to go and do it, but perhaps worst of all; how do I know if I am doing it right when there's no one ...

If you could add any room to your house or flat without having to consider anything at all, what would you add? Or would you rather renovate a room you already have? How would the room look - what would be in there? What would the function be of this room? I think I would want to add a craftsroom to...

I've often pondered this exact question when reading the Harry Potter books; Did the hat really always place students in the right house? And what might it's reasons have been for some of the more unlikely candidates? Like, Hermione Granger - she seems to have been just as likely to have been a Rave...

Congratulations Emily!!
Let's see how long it takes her to notice which books' dustcovers I've secretly been switching out...

The Drabble Babble Challenge Drabble (n.) = "an extremely short work of fiction of exactly one hundred words in length" One theme will be announced per issue. Participants will then write a small piece of fiction (or non-fiction) about that theme. What's the catch? The submission must be a drabble!...

At the start this new term a couple of spots have become available for forum moderators. It is a fun job that allows you to help shape HOL into the wonderful place it is and make sure that the area you moderate stays active and continues to evolve. As for who can apply, we invite everyone to do so; ...

What are your goals for this school year? However big or small, this is the place to share them and to see what everyone else have in mind, and to keep us all motivated to accomplish what we set out to do. And to those who complete at least three of their goals, The Gold Spirit Award will be awarded...

These are heavy news to receive and a great blow to us all as a community and especially to those of us who knew her personally. Polaris was one of the first people I got to know here and one of the people I looked up to so much in my first time here at HOL. And although I certainly talked her ear o...

Congratulations Maxim! I know you will do a fantastic job!

After being in the apothecary world for several years, Mr. Jiggers notices patterns and trends in his potion sales. Whether it is to calm nerves or to combat the winter blues or to use for symptomatic relief of an illness, some potions are frequently bought together. Slug & Jiggers Apothecary plans ...

On a busy day, Flavius Jigger asks you to go collect items from the stockroom.

Today is the day you've been waiting for: The owners of each of the four shops have come back to us with a report on how many items they've decided to invest in from each of our two groups.
