Oh so Scawy!



The kings and queens of cute got together for TAG! Gacha and produced some terrifyingly cute Gachas for halloween.
When meeting one of these in a dark alley you may be tempted to say Awww rather than Ahhh... but be warned... sharp fangs abound!

The Darkness Within










I cannot believe it is already Day 5 of TAG! Gacha. We have been so busy with administration we have hardly had time to sit down and play with all the goodies we collected. The quality of items on offer is astounding from veteran creators and new creators alike.

No Halloween is complete without a creepy scene from a mouldy old 19th century house which may have a creepy doll staring at you from a shelf somewhere. To create this scene I used items from the following creators:

Murderer masks
Contraption

Walton Wainwright could be considered the master of all things weird and whimsical. His style reminds me of victorian steampunk and freaky carnivals with a hint of anime. We watched with anticipation as he released his WIP of his Murderer masks and true to form he didn't disappoint with the finished product.




Second Spaces
The Monster's study set is full of wit and fun. My favourite pieces include the family cameos, the potion ingredients and the barred door. It is a set guaranteed to make you smile.

Nylon Outfitters
I've been a fan of NO since the early days of my SL. Even more so when she produced her Doll Head Vase gacha in 2012. Her machine of Spooks with Pets for TAG! Gacha features original artwork that can be hung on a wall or worn. It is a signature piece that will be cherished for a long time.

ARRRGH its a redback spider mate!

Noctis
Sweet Noctis.... I furnished full RP spaces with her furniture during my life as a vampire. Yelly has full attention to detail, reproducing still life vanitas displays in full 3D splendour. It brings a macabre yet elegant touch to your decor. Definitely not a machine to be missed.



DRD
I would like to nominate Jaimy Hancroft as Gachatopia's resident scream queen. Her ultimate nightmare machine is deliciously gory and is perfectly complimented by her Gorefest machine. Go collect the whole set of her TAG! machines then go play her old gachas in her store for a terrifyingly memorable Halloween costume.

TAG! You're it!



After many months of keeping this project a big secret, it was a big relief to be able to reveal TAG! Gacha to everyone at the start of this month. And before we knew it - the event is nearly upon us and the Gacha Keys are coming in at a steady rate.

Gachatopians spoke... and we listened. All our beloved events had a major flaw in common - and that was having a server capacity that was way below the demand of the consumers. (i.e: the dreaded message: TP cannot be completed because region is full) This is of course not the fault of the organisers but the limitation of the platform that is Second Life. In addition, lag for these crowded events was usually brutal. Again... related to the huge performance demands on a server that was heaving with avatars and lots of goodies to be bought.
For TAG! Gacha we tried to circumvent this problem by spreading the server load and what better way to do this than to bring customers back to the main stores of creators. From Booger's giant nose to Olive's giant um... Olive... From surreal landscapes to fantastical ones... From humble little rabbit holes to spectacular architectural achievements... when you are hopping from store to store and discovering new ones, you'll be wondering why you never visited earlier.
Halloween is our favourite time of year and from what we can see, TAG! Gacha creators seem to think so too! The quality of products on offer is simply outstanding. We have new up and coming brands amongst established and beloved names. 
Playing TAG! Gacha is easy. Visit HOW TO PLAY for more information.
Keep an eye on our TAG! Gacha Flickr feed where you can look at pictures specific to TAG! Gacha. If you have gacha photos to submit, please do so in our Gachatopia flickr group
TAG! Gacha tip: If the region you are trying to get into is full, you can skip it on the HUD and visit it again later.

We hope you will enjoy the event and good luck with the machines! Happy and safe trading everyone :)

Regards,
The Templars
