A City Asleep? > 09/28
The entire population of Freeland awoke this morning wondering if they had been asleep for two weeks. This strange feeling cannot be explained by even the smartest clockologists, so who are we at the Globe to try and figure it out. We'll let you know though if the mystery is ever solved...
Bappingedam > 09/14
This latest community project is a fictional authentic-looking Dutch Village and is well underway, but is now open to any and all contributors. So far in the town of Bappingedam there are almost twenty beautiful new buildings and squares created by the four Dutch bappers who have started and developed the project to this point [dullemond, vanderaap, ladylettuce and roopanop]. Along with these landmark buildings, there is also an expanding collection of props available in the examples section, which include humanos, animals, roof elements and other assorted objects. Also in that section are pictures of Dutch buildings to help those of us who would like to contribute, but have no idea where to begin. Finally, a new section has been set up in the Freeland Forum for obtaining additional help from the originators themselves. So please visit Bappingedam today, download the city, plug-in the landmarks, get inspired and add your own Dutch touch to this wonderful little but growing Village.
New Salem > 09/07
One of the more anticipated collaborative building projects is now complete and available.

Hats off to all who contributed to it and especially to the guy who not only came up with the challenge, but did the bulk of the work - phantom.
