The Wait Is Over! Announcing: The Lost Mine!


MadPea Productions, creators of innovative gaming, shopping and interactive art experiences in the virtual world Second Life, are teaming up with Dwarfins, creators of the amazing Dwarf Fantasy Community Building Game, to bring you a brand new hunt! 

The Lost Mine takes the classic form of a MadPea hunt and sprinkles it with Dwarfins' magic, resulting in something that's sure to appeal to hardcore hunters, adventurous gamers and curious casual folk from all corners of the grid.

"We wanted to make sure this hunt was attractive to as wide a range of people as possible, not just our normal demographic," said MadPea Games Marketing Director Fugazi Rubanis. "We're really proud of the crop of designers who're sponsoring the game, and we think all of Second Life's hunters will be incredibly happy with the prizes they're going to receive!"

“Dwarfins and MadPea Productions have paired up to bring you this fresh, exciting, puzzle-filled, adventure. Collectively, we are creating the The Lost Mine hunt, with the whole SL community in mind. Your overall hunting-gaming experience on SL will undoubtedly be changed. The Lost Mine is surely going to be a delightful hunt, that you wouldn't want to miss.” -Hope Leissa Marketing Manager for Dwarfins

Hunters will be able to get a taste of the prizes they're searching for starting from March 24th, when the first three designers will be revealed on the MadPea blog (http://madpea.blogspot.co.uk) and Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/MadPea). With 20 top-quality stores from the worlds of fashion, decoration, accessories and poses already confirmed, you won't want to miss out on the daily reveals leading up to the launch on April 1st! 

The fun begins at 12:00PM (NOON) SLT on April 1st in Mad City (here's a SLURL to the park!) with an opening gala party, with prizes and freebies courtesy of MadPea Games and Dwarfins. Dare you take on the challenge issued by the mad scientist, Dr. Madrigal Peabody, and cross time and space into a land of only spoken of in fairy tales? Can you steel your courage enough to navigate a derelict mine filled with traps, pitfalls and danger at every turn? Can you keep your wits about you and find the lost treasure? Run along to Mad City on April 1st, and happy hunting!

Queen Pea really singing at Furry Fair!?


"I didn't know you could sing!" 
- Is a typical comment I'm getting these days 
after Furry Fair announced me as one of the singers in a list of 
MANY TALENTED ones! 
"I didn't know it either!" - Is my typical answer... 
So how on earth did I end up singing at Furry Fair 
and even bigger question: Am I going to be able to do this?

10 AM : Samm Qendra
11 AM : DJ Bcreative (Classic soft / romantic Goth)
12 PM : Nadine Morani
1 PM : DJ Louise
2 PM : Obeloinkment Wrigglesworth
3 PM : Dragonfly
4 PM : Queen Pea and the Surprises



This all started a few weeks ago when we organized the huge Celebrity Auction for Feed-A-Smile charity. 
I didn't want on the board in the first place thinking that: 
1. No one will buy me anyways 
2. What can I offer to the winner?

Eventually I thought that every little bit helps and that I will do anything I can 
in my power to make sure that these precious children in the 
Feed-A-Smile programme 
will be getting a significant amount of money for their meals. 
However, what I didn't think was that IF I write I'm willing to do ANYTHING 
for this, then I should be truly prepared for ANYTHING!


In the end I went for $61 000L to Chloe Seljan, 
a crazy woman who owns the Potpourri Markets 
and the organizer of Furry Fair. 
She had one request: 
"I need you to sing at Furry Fair!"

As a person who keeps her word, I decided that I WILL SING!
It's been neverending practise now to make sure that 
my voice will be smooth as silk and lots of training (wine) 
to keep my nerves calm as I don't like to be in front of an audience. 

A rehearsal with a very appreciative audience

Will I sing like Jigglypuff and send you all to sleep? 
Will I break all the glass and clear the room in seconds?


The gorgeous DJ KESS is going to be the stage manager 
to make sure things don't get out of hand 
- too fast anyways!  
No matter what.. there will be plenty of SURPRISES 
and GIFTS for the audience. 
Don't miss this out. 

See you all at FURRY FAIR today! 



March 21 will be a special day at Furry Fair : The Feed a Smile Day

Steampunk Gacha Fair is now open!



Come one, come all to the steamy park filled with gacha machines.
Will you win a backpack with tentacles, a flying pig,
boots that make your toes scream for mercy or exclusive hot new skins?

Take your chances and try them all! 

Parade of steamy gacha machines at Mad City

This is our first ever in a series of Gacha Fairs
to be held at Mad City and we're so excited!
The event is being graciously sponsored by Gachatopia and NY Healthscape.

The festivities began yesterday with an opening gala party in Crying Peacock Park. The event runs until Sunday March 30th, giving gachaholics a little over two weeks to grab some truly exclusive items at amazing gacha prices!



Bubbles and steam to get you feeling all steampunkish

In honour of the 11th round of the Steam Hunt, one of Second Life's oldest and best loved hunts, the chosen theme for this round is Steampunk! Fusing influences from the Industrial Revolution, Victoriana, classical futurism and technophilia with a punk aesthetic, Steampunk has been an enduring trend in Second Life - mostly because its creative possibilities are nearly endless.

Exclusive MadPea Cthulu Hunter gear 

All of the participants in the MadPea Steampunk Gacha Fair are seasoned creators, offering prizes ranging from dresses, suits, goggles, hats and boots to beds, bric-a-brac and living room sets.

Steampunk Gacha Items from MadPea:


When the Pigs Fly Series: 

When Pigs Fly is an English expression meaning 'It is never going to happen'.

Each unique Pig comes with their own backstory.. Let's meet Stanley Steampig!


Stanley was awed by the spectacle of the huge steam locomotive that rumbled daily by his pen near the railroad tracks. He was amazed by the voluminous plumes of steam pouring out of the engine along with the huge mechanical pushrods. He not only wanted to ride on this magnificent machine but he also wanted to be one too. He told his uncle Pigsy about that and he replied, “When pigs fly”.


Steampunk Paraphernalia: 



The accessories that are a must for a steampunk fair, goggles, hats and a scarf for only 25L a try.


The Cthulhu hunter: 



This set contains everything that a well prepared Cthulhu hunter needs to catch the mighty beast! 
The backpack even has a taste of a tentacle in it and the pistol is scripted to shoot what else than Bubbles!


Get your steam on and don't miss these out!
