    Ohh man, now you tell -- ah, remind me... X-P

    I'm working on something right now with Edriliane (it's like mostly hers; I'm just a junior partner :D), and we're gonna finish that, but... :-/

    Brb... ;->

    How in the world is today the first day to read this particular post. (didn't understand what PCC23 was & usually too little time for reading forums) Literally had no idea about this challenge when I began my Muppets themed Opera House. Cool, still two whole months to finish this.

    Silly question. the challenge was written as "Simply decorate a home of yours .. .. using the following categories". Did you mean to say "one of the following"? Because that's a lot of items on the list to throw into one house. (though it would make for an intense challenge :p)

    Guess I need to get back in to finish the Muppet Show, lol.

    Correct. You can choose any of the categories listed, or 2, or three if you're feeling really ambitious. :D You may enter as many homes in the challenge as you wish.

    Post / Rules have been edited to be more clear. Sorry for the confusion.

    Once again, like others, not Published yet, but a Work In Progress (about the third attempt, after my second attempt kept eating my TARDIS bits! :mad: Should be done by 11:59 PDT; just putting in the details):

    Your Server: Maj'Dul
    Home Address: Lower Tenements, Gorowyn
    Leaderboards Location: [see above; not Published yet] EDIT: It is Published, as of 11:59:56 pm PDT on the 30th, and is #1 in Small Homes...out of like, SIX, so that's not saying much. But it's there. ;->

    Any Other Information you find useful or valuable: There is a Book of the House, at the beginning...and it's a wee bit smallish and slightly cramped in the beginning (though both a male Barbarian and male Troll can get through), and takes quite a bit of loading; let it do so... ;->

    Thank you to everyone who decided to participate in my first Challenge! I hope it was fun AND challenging!

    I am hoping to get to video tour them this weekend, so with that being said if anybody has a last minute submission they'd like to put forward, it will likely be Saturday before I get a chance to do the videos. (Vis a vie - an informal deadline extension.)
    :D

    I would have loved to get to tour them this past Sunday but unforeseen events have kind of derailed my whole week and mental state. :(

    With all of that being said, I am currently brainstorming what my next challenge will be and hope to announce it within the next couple of weeks. Stay tuned! ;)

    So I was really hoping to actually video tour these, but I have a persisting audio issue that I can't seem to fix. ( I am somewhat, alas, technologically impaired in these things. :() I started to video tour them but there's a very loud, obnoxious buzzing noise from either my headset or my computer that I can't figure out how to get rid of. So...slideshows will have to suffice for the time being.

    With that being said, I really enjoyed my visits to all of the submissions!

    First up was Monopoly (BTDC) by Aabari, I was really impressed with the creativity on the board spaces and the use of the books to describe each property on this one. My favorite parts were the Railroads! :)
    (Challenge Selected : Board Games)


    Next is Fae Stock '23 - Andreasjahn's Norrathian take on Woodstock '69. It is absolutely adorable and I love it. My favorite part was all the concert-goers dancing to the band and having the time of their lives! :cool:
    (Challenge Selected : Music)


    And finally : Under the Norrathian Sea with the Fab Four by Pirupoika.
    Wow. I was astonished at not just the beauty created in such a small space but also the cuteness of the actors for the band. (I can't lie, I've always been a John Lennon fan, even though The Beatles were a bit before my time, my dad was a huge fan so I grew up listening to them.) :D
    (Challenge Selected : Music)


    The details for each home are included in the slideshows. I highly encourage you to visit and vote, as each of them are a lot of fun and worth seeing for yourself!

    Hope you all enjoyed the Pop Culture Challenge! I shall be announcing the next Challenge SOON!™

    Only three of us? Sigh... :(

    Gotta love the other two as well (Piru's my main Carpy on Maj'Dul, and Taumuone's one of my latest Hordelings there; thanks for your comments, but I'm glad it was such a small space! :D Went with Gnomes so I could get glasses for "John," but then I couldn't get him a mustache...so I gave that to "Paul")! But Monopoly isn't a Music category; check your screen card(s) again on that video... ;->

    And I think if your music soundtrack is okay, it might be something with your headset. If it's not wireless (and I'd love to get my hands on a good wireless one that would work for my Win 7 desktop, my Win 10 lappie, and my ancient-of-days boombox), it may be that the teeny little wires in the silly thing may be conking out... X-/

    I've gone through a number of them, so I could quote you chapter and verse. X-P My current set has lasted way longer than I anticipated, and the mic still does pretty well, judging by my Zoom meetings. Have you tested your 'set that way recently? Even in a "room" with friends/neighbors/Decoraiders/etc.?
