Remember my post about Samurai Japan? You know, mikeD Streeter’s newest RP (Role Play) Sim which is also part of what is now known in Second Life as the RPG Empire. Well, the good Emperor of Samurai Japan kinda gave me a cool title which is “Scribe of Japan”. LOL!

To visit other areas of Samarkand you must find the teleporter which is at the other side of the market. Also, upon landing you will be given notecards with rules and other informations about the sim so read them well. [...continue reading Samarkand Explored]
