Celebrate the bounty of the harvest with the beautiful Vangsta table from NeonSheep, available both with and without the decor (the decor also included separately) and with and without PBR. It has a rustic elegance which works both for a more modern setting and for a role-play setting. Here I have also added apples in baskets and sacks from Lore’s Apple Harvest fatpack. I am also using the holdable basket and the holdable apple. Don’t they look delicious? Each item comes in four different apple textures to represent different apple varieties. Both of these great autumn decor sets are available at We Love Role-Play for a discount and you still have a few more days to get them before this round closes.
My outfit is also from We Love Role-Play, a very pretty Norse-inspired gown by Rakshasa with a coat that has a knitted look belted over it. The gown and the coat can be worn separately and there are also bracers included for wearing over the sleeves. As usual the fatpack offers excellent customisation options where you can mix and match all the available colours. And with it I am wearing the final piece from the event, the Yrsa necklace from lassitude & ennui, with runes inscribed on the central spiral piece. It comes in three colour variants, each of which also includes a blood-streaked version.
Strange, moss-covered trees, enormous brambles and a persistent mist surrounded the house at the outskirt of the woods. By appearances alone, not the most welcoming place. On the porch stood its current occupant, a pale woman in a wine red gown, at her side a tall black dog. And what was that in the strange cylinder that seemed to float beneath her hand?
Alright, now its time to get spooky, with the Fantasy Witch’s House from Nocturna Deed for We Love Role-Play as the centerpiece. The house comes in a convenient rezbox that makes it easy to setup and place. There’s a whimsical spookiness to the design and plenty of room for decorating inside. On the outside, I mixed items from Fundati, Lore and Botanical to get a creepy forest feeling.
The beautiful gown is by the Muses, a high-waisted and high-necked design suitable for a variety of fantasy and role-play outfits. You will find that at WLRP as well, together with the Cindy skin from Poema as well as the floating reliquary from En Pointe which comes with several options for what bones to have within it.
Finally, we have the Teeglepet Classic Doberman, which was released at the Dog & Pony Show and hopefully should be in the Teegle mainstore now or at least soon.
It may be October, but I am holding off on the spooky a little longer, even though there’s actually plenty of it at the brand new round of We Love Role-Play. But for my first post for this month, I just had to show off Zaara’s new male outfit, the Naksh Kurta which consists of kurta, dupatta and pants. I have also added the Kolhapuri sandals, also by Zaara, and a headband from Angelicus which is also from WLRP (technically for female avatars, but it works).
And while sandals would not be my choice of footwear for riding, I did think this was a good opportunity to show the Oasis set from Teegle for the Akhal Teke Teeglepet. The Dog & Pony Show is now closed, but the new Teeglepets and all the accessories for them are now in the Teegle mainstore instead.
The beautiful palm trees are a brand new release with PBR from Fanatik and I am also using a Day Cycle from Fanatik to get this gorgeous lighting.
The current round of We Love Role-Play is almost over, but you have until the end of the 28th to take a look! For my final post for the September round I picked out the Cecil gown from Lorien, which makes really great use of PBR for the dress texture and to bring out the embroideries on the dress. Sometimes it gets too shiny, but this one really sells a fabric texture with a more metallic decoration. I paired it with the tiara from NeonSheep which has a classic medieval look and which also is available at WLRP.
From the Engine Room comes the final new release, the cool Four of Swords hair style from Magika. I turned off the optional bangs and matched the colour of the swords to the tiara and the gold of the dress, but there are more metal options included on the HUD. And, of course, the HUD is a fatpack of hair colours for just L$ 450, quite the steal.
We Love Role-Play meets the Dog & Pony Show in today’s post, which dresses up the Teeglepet Akhal Teke with the brand-new Regalia tack set from Cheval D’or (which includes both PBR and fallback textures) and the Akhal Teke Gold applier from the Texture Barn. On this handsome eastern steed, a rogue rides into a medieval city, wearing a PBR-textured outfit from Project and a very fancy bejewelled eyepatch from Pendulum, both from WLRP.
The Teeglepet we’ve already looked at in a prior post, though I think I forgot to mention that the default texture is a PBR-texture, just like on the Marwari. The Regalia set, like the Dune Lord set, draws inspiration from traditional Marwari tack, but it has been made available for the Akhal Teke as well and looks fabulous on it. And of course it offers a number of texturing options for all the different pieces. The applier from the Texture Barn is a classic Akhal Teke colour, a burnished gold, which also shows off how lean and thin-skinned these horses tend to be, by including detailed muscles and veining.
The outfit from Project includes shirt, breeches and boots and very extensive texturing options for all pieces, including the ability to separate out buttons and different parts of the boots. The PBR textures look amazing on the boots in particular, but it is tougher to get non-shiny surfaces like the shirt to be completely realistic. However, this is definitely a brand to keep an eye on if they plan to keep making such nicely texture role-play outfits for men. Finally, we have the eyepatch from Pendulum, which comes in a left eye and a right eye version and includes both PBR and fallback textures on the HUD. I would have liked the design to include how it is supposed to be fastened, I admit, even if it is obviously designed for the visual impact rather than being at all functional.
Oh, and I lied, I did have one more thing to mention. The Courney hair from Magika is a new release that is out at Access and I do love that she keeps including male sizes on all her hairs.
Time to get in touch with my Viking roots and set sail on a longship. At least virtually and once this ship is ready to be launched. Right now, it is still in the shipyard and needs to be guarded against those who might steal or sabotage it. Fortunately, I have some wickedly sharp weapons from Angelicus on hand.
The shipyard with the in-progress longship is a new release from Moon Coven for We Love Role-Play. It comes in a handy rez box that allows you to easily adjust the positioning once it is rezzed out. This is a beautifully detailed build with ladders and walking planks that allows for proper roleplay as a worker on the ship and there is a room with tools and drawings of the design as well for added atmosphere.
The weapons from Angelicus are also from WLRP, a set of prop weapons with different options for how you hold the spear and on which side the knife and axe hangs. They are modifiable, which is good because I needed to size up the belt.
Finally, we have the Fosca dress from Les Encantades, also from WLRP. A bit of a ragged dress with some runic embroidery at the neckline and a raven design on the skirt, so very appropriate for the Norse theme.
A priestess of the moon awaits you in her temple, the sacred pool behind her reflecting the sky above the atrium. What mysteries can she reveal to you?
Welcome to the September round of We Love Role-Play, where you will find—among many other fantastical releases—the Cyclus crown from Bliensen+MaiTai and the Corabella gown by Luas. A discount of between 15% and 30% is offered on all new releases, so there are great deals to be had as well.
The crown is unrigged mesh that can be resized and repositioned if needed. It is adorned with two full moons and three crescent moons and mixes various metals that have a slightly worn and tarnished look, which adds to the realism of the piece.
The gown comes fitted for several different bodies, including Lara X. It includes a HUD for texture changes, allowing for a two-toned dress and a separate corset/belt colour, as well as a choice of gold or silver for the jewellery on the belt. It is a bit on the long side, which usually isn’t an issue with mesh gowns, but here I found it seemed to expect a pair of high heels.
I am heading off on vacation tomorrow and will only have my laptop for a couple of weeks, so I am not expecting to do much—if any—blogging. But before heading out, I just had to show a few more pieces from We Love Role-Play.
Alia Baroque’s Libertine brand offers decadent furnishings and the Swan daybed is no exception. Rich textures (there’s a variety of fabrics included) draw your eye, inviting a virtual touch. The Swan comes in Adult and Mature versions, with both single (male and female) and couple poses (cuddles, sex, vampire). In the background, I added the rustic mirror from Constraint, well suited to the roughness of the bare castle walls. Finally having real mirrors can add so much depth and life to a scene.
I thought the Leigh fantasy lingerie from deviousMind was a great match for the Swan, seeing as its a fanciful mix of pearls and feathers. Very minimal and very pretty.
Deep in the desert, a tall gate reaches towards the sky. It is set in no wall and seems to offer entrance into nothing at all, yet legends warn against passing between the enormous pillars. Those who have, or so it is claimed, have never been seen again.
Out now at We Love Role-Play, the awesome Metatron Gate by Vae Victis is a huge piece of fantasy decor, with beautiful texturing and detail. Up close, there are swirls of energy along the insides of the pillars. The HUD allows you to mix and match 5 metal textures across different parts of the pillars.
The gate made for an excellent backdrop in this desert scene, where I am also showing off Rakshasa’s release for WLRP, the Roman-inspired Stefanos outfit (with a sword from LR Weapons added to it). The outfit is highly customizable in terms of the textures and colours, offering both clean and bloody or tarnished versions.
Another round of We Love Role-Play awaits you and my first picks for showcasing from the July round is an expansive Roman merchant set from Del-ka Aedilis and a collar from Drunken Brokkr. The merchant set includes a variety of excellent decor pieces for furnishing a Roman (or Roman-inspired) shop—or a kitchen, for that matter—and the collar works as a slave collar for a variety of settings as it offers texture options for both the leather and metal. I decided to setup a scene of a wealthy household’s slave girl shopping for her mistress; already her basket is full of previous purchases. I took some liberties with her dress from Senzafine (available at Midsummer Enchantment, which closes today), it is rather too fancy and more Grecian-inspired than Roman, and her pretty leather shoes from lassitude & ennui aren’t precisely Roman either.
Remember the Tempest Whip from DICTATORSHOP? They have a new whip out at We Love Role-Play using the same animations but with a very cool new look that fits the role-play theme; it is a whip of electricity. The handle has a steampunk look go with the name—the Tesla Whip—and the sounds are new as well, providing different crackling noises as you hold or swing your whip. I decided to imagine it as a weapon and went out hunting for demonic creatures in what I might call a fantasy version of a Lara Croft outfit. Both the outfit by Jangka and the Samaeal winged snake by Axis Mundi are also available at WLRP.
This “bubble braid” style by Wasabi, with two cute loose curls in the front, seemed like a great fit with the outfit, stylish yet conveniently out of the way.
The latest release from Del-ka Aedilis is a set of Roman cult shrines to various deities, each with different offerings of fruits and breads. You’ll find these at the current round of We Love Role-Play and while there were not truly Roman dresses or accessories this round, I decided to create more of a fantasy priestess look to go with the shrines.
First, we have the Sassa dress from Rakshasa. I absolutely adore the options this dress comes with as you can have long, short or no sleeves and you have tons of different sections that you can choose different textures for. I went for different hues of leather, imagining a somewhat archaic look for this priestess. She also wears a headdress from Bliensen + MaiTai which happens to fit really well with the Karma hair from the Truth Collective, a style which has a braid and also a small section tied off on the top of the head. The headdress has a nice patina, making it look like something that has been in use for a long time.
She also has footwear from lassitude & ennui, but the shots I ended up using do not show them enough so I will have to revisit them.
The warrior creeps through the woods, approaching the clearing with caution. In the middle of it stands a mossy throne, lit by the flickering flames of two torches. Certain that there is no ambush awaiting her, she approaches the throne, her spear in hand.
Tomorrow, a new round of We Love Role-Play opens, offering a great selection of new releases at discounts of 15% to 30%. Almost entirely kitted out by the event, my orc warrior has skin (with great muscle definition!), eyes and tattoos by Fallen Gods, wears an outfit by Athe Fantasy and carries a naginata by Thorn. The throne is by MoonSha and comes in several variants, plus a hud for each variant that offers different shades.
Another event, already on-going, is Hair Fair 2024. It covers six regions and offers hairs and hair-related products, with all items sold donating a percentage to Wigs for Kids. Don’t miss this fabulous opportunity to update your look, for example with the Nyx hair from Exile that I am wearing here.
In the midday heat, the dusty frontier town lay quiet. A horse rested at the watering trough outside the saloon, lazily swishing at flies with its tail. A pretty redhead leaned against one of the posts, idly watching it.
Welcome to HopScotch’s Frontier in a box, a wild west backdrop with all the essential buildings for a classic western town that you can configure as you like. You can find this set at the current round of We Love Role-Play, available as individual pieces or as a fatpack, with a 25% discount during the event.
The gorgeous green dress I am wearing is another WLRP release, this one from Miel. It is for eBody Reborn but I am wearing it on Lara X which works well with alphas. Since this is a Birthday Round for WLRP, the creators have gifts out and Miel actually has one colour of this lovely gown as a gift. The hair is Retreat from Stealthic, a longer style with pretty waves.
You have been invited to take refreshments with a view atop the roof of a desert manse, with shelter from the sun provided by a colourful tent. The company is pleasant as well.
For this round of We Love Role-Play, Aurora offers the Jasmine set, which can be worn with or without the jewellery and customised with materials, transparency and colour options for both fabrics and metals. I really like the sleek shine of the fabric here. As an accessory, I have added a necklace from Constraint.
Also from WLRP are the refreshments from Cerridwen’s Cauldron, the Lantern Fruits set which offers several different versions of the decor and also gives out holdable fruits and drinks. A beautiful set of fantasy fruits and drinks, very decorative. The rest of the decor are older releases from paper moon, from their Oasis series.
My hair is a brand-new Wasabi release called Harlow, an extra long style with sweeping long bangs. Perfect for this sort of look but also a sultry modern style.
