Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

Fairy Falls

August 21, 2025

An island floats through the sky, a waterfall cascading down one side and pooling onto a cloud. That fanciful image is conjured up by Blue Blood’s Waterfall Retreat, still available at a discount for a few more days at We Love Role-Play. To give a taste of this unique piece of landscaping, I imagined myself as a water fairy, wrapped in a stream of bubbles (courtesy of Puke Rainbows and wearing a minimal bikini and some sparkling beads from Aurora. A touch of colour under the eyes is provided by Rubedo’s Emelie makeup.

A release from earlier during the summer, but not from WLRP, is the Truth Collective hairstyle Darcy, two short and messy pigtails that has an impish charm.

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.

The Brewer is in Town

August 12, 2025

The brewer has come to town to sell his wares, with a wagon full of bottles and barrells. This neat prop by RiG! Artifact Design is available at the current round of We Love Role-Play. It includes two seated and one standing animation for male and female avatars. The horse is not included, it is Teegle’s Irish Cob which I just added in for some colour. The house in the background is also a new release for the event, Moon Coven’s Medieval Fine House, an elegant two-story building for a medieval town or village.

Finally we have the Marl Tunic from Stitched, available for Jake and Legacy. The belt is integral but the tunic can be worn with or without sleeves.

The Bath Nymph

August 06, 2025

I am back from my vacation which means it is time to put my avatar back to work as well. A new round of We Love Role-Play was waiting for me and I dove right in to explore what it had to offer.

My first pick was the Roman Bath Sulis from Del-ka Aedilis. This build recreates an authentic Roman bath with great attention to details. Roman baths involved several different rooms, such as a warm pool, a steam room, a cold pool and a sauna, and these are all represented here. The walls and floors are beautifully decorated with mosaics and in the public toilet area—complete with sponges on a stick—there is even some graffitti. Most of the rooms offer animations, both singles and couples, for an even more immersive experience.

The photos give just a small taste of the bath, so do make sure to check out the build yourselves at the demo area. The build comes with a convenient rezzbox, allowing for easy placement on your land.
