Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

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.

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!

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.

Beautiful Mirage

May 22, 2025

A beautiful pavilion is set in the middle of an oasis. Open from all sides, it takes in the light of the desert sunset and is also illuminated by bronze lanterns. Within, a woman dances, her garb embroidered with metallic thread that catches the light of the sun and the lanterns.

Lore’s Mirage pavilion and its matching lanterns are gorgeously textured to take advantage of PBR, with both stone and metal looking strikingly realistic. There is also an enclosed version of the pavilion, which could be furnished and serve as a more private meeting place, perhaps in a palace garden.

The exquisite Desert Wind Dancer outfit by Web Dew offers several choices of base fabric and then the ability to tint these. This patterned silk stod out for me, as it really makes excellent use of PBR to let the pattern shimmer in the light.

You will find these releases at We Love Role-Play and the birthday round is still open for a few more days, so don’t miss out on all the great new items and the generous gifts!
