Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Luxorious Lounging

March 17, 2026

Pardon the pun, but given the luxurious Luxor set from Lore, I couldn’t resist it. This opulent new release is available at We Love Role-Play and includes the sofa, the cartouches and the scarab. The sofa and the scarab come with texture huds and the cartouches in four metal options. The scene I ended up with mixes a bit of fantasy with a touch of art deco and a drop of art nouveau and I love the way the colour combinations came out in the end.

In addition to the set from Lore, you will also find most of the other elements in the scene at WLRP. The saucy little outfit is from Sweet Kajira and I accessorized it with earrings and a hair ornament from the Muses and a kiseru—a Japanese smoking pipe—from Tealeaf Treasures. I also added in another decor element, a rug from Dreaming Thicket that is part of a large set of different rug shapes.

From the just-finished Skin Fair comes a new head, Justine by LOGO. I am generally wearing LeLutka all the time these days, since my other head brands have not updated for ages, but it is always nice with some options and this head has a very nice profile and a pretty versatile look. I am also using the alaskametro skin that was released at the Skin Fair and the combination looks great to me.

Digging Deep

February 20, 2026

The road narrows as it rises, carved between rough stone and scrub grass, until it reaches the entrance of the mine. Inside rests the promise of riches, but also danger.

Lore has been creating some really interesting landscaping for roleplay lately and their most recent release at We Love Role-Play is no exception. The set features a mine entrance (with or without doors), mine carts, rails for the cart and of course a pickaxe. I wanted to combine the mine entrance with some Fanatik landscaping that I’ve yet to cover, so I opted for a dirt road leading up to the mine rather than building out the rails. This also makes it look more like an ancient fantasy mine, where you’d be working entirely by hand to haul out your treasures.

My miner is so far looking clean and tidy in his shirt Eamon shirt from Stitched, but it does include dirty and bloody versions as well if you want a more worn and rugged look. The slightly scruffy skin, a SeraPlus gift from Not Found, suits the look perfectly.

Like I said, the landscape is all made up of different releases from Fanatik; cavern, road, rugged rocks, shrubbery and rock walls.  Together they create a believable transition from open terrain to carved rock, with subtle elevation shifts and texture variation that keep the space from feeling flat.

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.
