Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Winter Shelter

December 21, 2025

A quiet shelter deep in the winter woods lies abandoned save for a cloven-hoofed visitor, who seems to idly wait around for the usual occupant, a lone hunter, to return.

You still have to get your last Christmas gifts for yourself or someone else from We Love Role-Play. Why not the Hunter’s Rest shelter from Lore, a new release together with the Hunter’s Cot and the Supply Sled, which comes with or without firewood. Or, perhaps you would like to spend Christmas on four hooves thanks to the Goat Avatar from Jinx? It includes an AO and texture HUD with three eye options and two coats, including a sinister black one.

The beautifully sparkling trees are Fanatik’s latest release. These trees have subtly glowing lights and come in 10 sizes, from 3 to 15 meters tall. They really add a bit of magic to a winter woodland.

Tribal

August 14, 2025

For this round of WLRP, Lore invites you to take up residence in a cosy mud hut, perfect for your tribal hunter living a solitary life in the middle of nowhere. The set also includes a swamp lantern, which I could totally see reusing for Halloween, and a selection of pots with tribal decorations. The hut and the lantern come in PBR and regular texture versions; I am using the PBR options.

For a suitably tribal outfit, I selected a release from Petrichor & Ersch for this year’s Fantasy Faire called Karvani, here worn on the Legacy male body but it also includes sizes for several other male bodies. The texture options are extensive and a separate Hide & Show HUD allows you to customize which elements of the outfit are shown.

Moonshine

June 14, 2025

Lore’s release for the current round of We Love Role-Play will let you setup a shack in the middle of nowhere to make your very own moonshine. The shack has a realistic, run-down look and the distillery comes in a few variants, from worn to shiny new. There are also various other props such as crates and bottles. The simple, single-room house with the open shed on the side could also be used for other purposes, such as an old farm with a small stable.

My inventory is not exactly full of suitable clothing for this kind of scene, but I do think that Rakshasha’s Philip outfit—which also is out at WLRP—works pretty well, especially if you opt for hiding the sleeves and the frill on the shirt and making it a simple linen material. But there are many other ways of wearing it too, thanks to the options on the HUD.

Visions of Egypt

May 26, 2025

A short and sweet one for today. Grasshopper Street’s release for We Love Role-Play in May is the beautiful Nefertiti Crown and their gift for this Birthday Round is a matching handheld mirror with Egyptian decorations. I found an Egyptian-inspired outfit—rather loosely inspired, admittedly—from Aurora for a previous WLRP round and wandered off to my little oasis to setup an evening scene with decor from Lore and Libertine.
