Welcome Aboard the HMS Prima Vista!
The HMS Prima Vista sails the skies above London in the year 1890. The golden age of piracy has come and gone, but a few brave souls still dare to eke out such a living. One such group is the Tantalus Troupe of the HMS Prima Vista.
Set in a world of steam power and clockworks, amazing creations and abominations abound in this wondrous pseudo-historical London. The imagination is almost quite literally the limit, so think large, wild, creative, and most of all, fun.

Hello Ladies and Gent,
I just wanted to let you know that I've upgraded the system we use to run our site to NOVA 2. There were some new features added, and other things rearranged. As far as I can tell, everything's working okay... and I started work again on a new skin. So far it's pretty much finished on the main sections of the site (home, crew and adventures), as well as the login panel.
Please give me a yell if you find anything amiss or there is anything that you can't find or would like to see added to the site. Also, if there's any info (world building, vocab, or anything else) you'd like to see in the wiki, feel free to either add it yourself or put in a request for it to be added.
Thanks,
Amy

Good Afternoon ladies and gents!
Amy here, the lunatic behind Anwen, and I just wanted to check in.
We finally have liberated the ship, and I've got one more log in the hopper due to come out shortly. I should hopefully get it released tonight or tomorrow as it just need some minor tweaking before it's out. With that out of the way, feel free to settle in on the ship and post character development logs if you wish. I'm always available for joint logs, shoot me a starter or IM me.
Kevin's away for the holidays, through the 26th, but he and I have been talking about our first plot line which should start either right after Christmas or at the beginning of the new year.
I apologize for the delays in getting moving here, and I thank you for your patience. Don't hesitate to contact me or Kevin if you have any questions!

Greetings everyone,
I'm the creator of the HMS Prima Vista Kevin also on IRC I go by Aza and I play Elsy Dowe on the SIM. Anyways I just wanted to send this little announcement out mainly to introduce myself (yes I know how belated this is) but I feel like I should introduce myself before we finish up the "prologue" plot.
After speaking with Pond who plays Anwen Cadwalader we're very close to finally stealing the ship which is going to get the SIM going. And then we'll start the first actual plot which I'm hoping to get the summary up sometime tomorrow.
I'm also going to try and be more active in the IRC that was added by Pond you can find it on the home page of the site. So this is just a run-down of what I'm going to do to try and get this SIM moving.
As for the chain of command it'll Pond again who plays Anwen Cadwalader and myself who plays Elsy Dowe. And please use google or anyother search engine for help playing in this time period and genre and if you find a good site please let myself or Pond know about it so we can add it to the wiki allowing easy access for all.
Anyways thanks for reading my little introduction and I do hope once things get moving you'll find enjoyment for writing for this SIM.
PS, if you know anyone that enjoys any kind of PBeM type role play please bring them by and see what they think.

Things had been a kind of a chaotic fog since they'd liberated the airship. Anwen had assumed her father would pursue; both because he was usually fiercely possessive of things and people he owned, and because he knew just who had taken his ship. So as soon as she'd gotten…

After they'd returned to their room that evening, Anwen quickly changed from the somewhat dapper looking attire she'd worn while gathering information in The Pirate and Flask, to more simple attire. Almost entirely black, not specifically masculine nor feminine, her primary goal was to wear something easy to move in…
