Freaky Village

Freaky Village is a German Urban/Fantasy Roleplay destination. Those who experience Freaky Village for the first time often cannot get rid of the feeling that the villagers are keeping up a façade in order to hide any secrets. This is certainly due to the fact that most of the people who find a place of refuge in Freaky Village often conform to the usual stereotypes of an oddball. Are you ready for them?

Victorian London in Time Portal

Step through the Time Portal in the mysterious laboratory and visit London during the Victorian and Edwardian era. The time machine has a virus, so the time zones have been a bit mixed up. Visit some of the shops and buy clothes from a time when people still dressed in style or buy furniture from a time when these were crafted by people with real experience and talent. Once you're all dressed up, go for a meal at the oyster seller, say a prayer for the poor at the church, have a dance at the music hall and end your evening with a sing-a-long and few pints of ale at the Ten Bells pub. But be careful... the slums and backstreets are the hunting grounds of Jack the Ripper!
