Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

The Mysteries

June 04, 2025

We Love Role-Play invites you to its June round. And at the same time, I thought I would invite you to partake of the Mysteries in Mithraeum, courtesy of Del-ka Aedilis beautiful rendition of this temple, which I surrounded by grotto pieces from Fanatik since these were often in hidden, subterranean locations.

Now, it is unclear how much of a role women actually played in the cult of Mithras, but here you find yourself guided into the temple by a priestess, wearing an ornate headdress (by Angelicus for WLRP) and a long draped gown in royal purple (by Sweet Kajira for WLRP). Both the headdress and the gown include HUDs for texture options.

The elegant low pony-tail, draped across one shoulder, is the Isa style by Kuni, which you will find at the Hair Fair. Each sale at Hair Fair donates to Wigs for Kids, so please shop for a good cause!

A sumptuous bed of solid wood, with a solid canopy and opulent velvet drapes. Classic style, comfort and privacy is what the Heritage Canopy Bed by DICTATORSHOP offers, naturally with all the features you have come to expect from the brand. In terms of customisation, you have the choice of 10 wood textures and 16 fabric options. This release features a new and improved animation engine, which also includes some exclusive custom animations. The bed is available in Adult PG (134 animations), Adult Vanilla (313 animations) and Adult Kink (435 animations). It supports 1 or 2 avatars, with two menus of solo animations and the rest being dedicated to various couple animations I used mainly the solo menues for the photos, though the one featuring the chains is part of the Adult Kink selection of animations.

The romantic-yet-sexy outfit, sort of a lingerie with integrated jewellery pieces, is from the Muses. Philomena is available in two different fabrics (this is the velvet) and includes a HUD for colour changes of fabric and gems. The boots are also from the Muses and in the same romantic, ornate style.  My hair is from Magika, I picked it up at her 40% off sale, and I am wearing an eyeshadow from alaskametro’s Hair Fair gift. And yes, there will be more from Hair Fair in the next few days.

Villa Urbana

May 06, 2025

One of the releases in the new Rome series from Del-Ka Aedilis, which includes buildings to create a whole Roman city, is the Villa Urbana. This is a two-storey city villa for the rich and famous of the Roman upper class. At the entrance you are of course met by an atrium and there is also a banquet hall and a study, as well as a small garden at the rear. Upstairs, there is a lovely balcony and two bedrooms. Additionally, there are rooms that can serve as kitchens and other utility areas. The villa is available in red, light blue and dark blue.

For this setup, I’ve added a few furnishings from the Del-ka Aedilis range: the Banquet Triclinium from the Civitas series and also a chair, table and writing set from the same series for the balcony. The walls surrounding the villa to keep out the city noises are the Roman Walls from Fanatik‘s Forum set.

A Traveller’s Welcome

April 04, 2025

For the weary traveller passing through the countryside, an inn is a welcome sight. And within, there might be more on offer than just food and drink…

We Love Role-Plays April round is open and full of great new releases. NOT, however, the updated version of the Tavern Aris from Del-ka Aedilis Rome Series, that is a mainstore release. But I thought it was a nice build for featuring three of the new items from WLRP. First, the Octavia Dress from Rakshasa, which is a very versatile Roman-inspired outfit that can be worn either short or long and with several different options for the top. There’s also a matching leather breastplate, which I left out of this version. Here, I went for a saucy serving wench in the short version, the colours a bit earthy. I matched that with the Eva arm & thigh bracelets from Antaya and gave those a coppery metal look rather than something more expensive. Finally, I used decor from PROPS!, a brand that I have not come across before. They have a nice set called Crossroad Inn at WLRP, which among other things include tables, benches, candles and pitchers. There’s also a hearth and some wall panelling, which I did not make use of here.

The hair I am wearing is a Truth Collective release from Truth and Wasabi, a sassy shoulder-length style with four different styling options.

The tavern itself features an open main area accessible from three sides. On the right side there is an anex that contains three individual rooms that can be used for a variety of purposes.
