Are you into role play? Have you ever tried it? I have met people who say
“oh no, I would not like that !!" and when they try fall in love with it! Though
I have been visiting Tombstone, Arizona as a traveler and like it very much, I
was interested to see the birth of a new role play region called Salt Lake City. I joined the group as a traveler so I could see how it evolves. 
The history
period is the 1860's, a most interesting time in the western USA. It
is in one sim so far and is collecting members who want to be in certain
roles or just live there as citizens. The owners hired a custom builder to be
sure it would be authentic. The grand opening was August 10 though the
building continues. There is a Cavalry already with an imposing fort. One of
the first places to be opened was the orphanage with a nun to take care of
the poor orphans. There will be a native camp, forest and mountains
already surround the town. Of course, there is a saloon complete with poker and
other games, and the bar is open for business. 
Over the past few days it
has been a busy time for the owners who seem to be deluged with questions and IMs just to talk. The hotel is open for daily rentals as well as some small
homes in the town , furnished and unfurnished. There are strict rules in the
roleplay with fines or jail time for breaking them. I saw some big guns there so
I think there will be serious outlaw arrival. The sheriff is working and has a
female deputy, so that will be interesting. The country church is ready
for weddings and services. Roles still open at this time Judge, Blacksmith,
General Store Owner, Saloon Owners. People who role play in other places are
invited to join the group or anyone interested in becoming involved in role play
for the first time. There will be mentors and classes to help them orient to
that historical period in the old west. 
I believe there is already a war
between the Native tribe and the newcomers. Good thing the Cavalry is already
there. The Navajo Nation is setting up camp in the mountains, well hidden from
the town, though I encountered several in town when no one was around. That
may be why the 15th US Cavalry is doing heavy recruiting.
The banking business is getting ready and I am sure will be robbed first
thing. There is an extensive shopping area at the arrival location with clothing
and arms to outfit you for your life in Salt Lake City. Co-owner,
Zaclegend Usher sent this notice the other day, “Well its that time again where
students are gearing up to go to school again and we are starting our brand new
course here in Salt Lake! Introductions To Roleplay! We have mentors which are
here to help you and we strongly advise our newcomers to stop on by! Feel free
to stop on by and get back to school.” I also met one of the co-owners, Keneu
Karu, who is enthusiastic about the new city and has experience with role play.
If you are interested you can travel to the entrance and take a look around .
