. Illusion Bay is a Role Play room, based mostly on Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Series, however there are also aspects taken from the works of Anne Rice, Christine Feehan, Kim Harrison , Sherrilyn Kenyon and others, if you are looking for a room that heavily follows one structure, Illusion Bay is probably not the room for you, here we allow our players to pick and choose aspects they feel work for their characters and it has worked well for us. Please note that we try to make the room all encompassing so that all types of characters can be played here.. you could see everything from vampires, to werewolves, to fey and everything in between.
