Fantasy Faire 2025: The Maiden and the Wyvern

April 23, 2025

Word went around the village that a great red beast had made its lair in a nearby cavern and disappearances of livestock and even people were blamed on it. A decision was made to try and appease the creature in the old-fashioned way, with the sacrifice of a maiden. But the maiden that they selected had an idea of her own, and thought it would be best to simply go and talk to the new visitor to the area.

I have featured Prehistoricas fantastic dragons and wyverns before, then in the avatar versions. For this years Fantasy Faire, Prehistorica has released animesh decor versions of the Dragon and the Wyvern, allowing you to include them in your photography without needing to get an alt (or your husband) to dress up as a dragon. The decor versions also come packed full of animations and sounds, making them lifelike and very impressive additions to your sim. They have a lower poly count than the full avatars, but the detail still looks amazing. The included HUD also offers the full range of skins, so each creature can have its own look.

But that is not all, as RFL releases you will also find decor versions of the Bone Dragon and the Bone Wyvern, frightening skeletal versions of these creatures. These do not, for obvious reasons, have different skins available. Both the regular and the bone versions include five different sizes, from small(ish) to gigantic.

The maiden’s beautiful dress is from Rakshasa, a simple kirtle with a belt that will suit a variety of role-play scenarios, and the lovely floral crown from Les Encantades. Finally, we have glowing blue grass and rocks from 3rd Eye Perceptions to finalise the look of the Altamira Cavern from Fanatik.

Dragon Cave

February 06, 2025

The February round of We Love Role-Play is open and waiting for you, and of course there is a handy shopping guide available to plan your trip.

I decided to start off with some cave exploration which could have ended badly as the cave was already occupied. Fortunately, the fierce beast was mesmerized by the magic crystal I carried with me. Or perhaps it was the very minimal Lirio dress by Aitne that the coppery dragon was so taken with? It certainly does not leave much to the imagination and shows off the Soleil tattoo by Aerth very nicely.

New-ish, but not from WLRP, is the Fluffy hair from Wasabi, featuring two pigtails taming a very curly hair.

Creatures of Fire

July 12, 2023

Once again, a dragon avatar turns out to be the perfect way of showcasing a new release from Fanatik. Last time, it was a cave. This time? A volcano. And being creatures of fire, of course dragons love volcanos.

The Fanatik volcano includes 11 material/texture versions, changeable via a HUD. It can be dormant like the version shown but also have lava running down its sides. And for your winters and arctic settings, it can be snow-covered. The maximum size is approximately 64 x 60 x 19 m and at that size the land impact is 51 prims.

I’ve used the ramps from the Land Shapes package from Fanatik to elevate the volcano somewhat; one could of course go even further with this. I’d love to see some additional pieces for creating a landscape around the volcano which has the same textures, especially the lava.

My dragon avatar is, of course, from Prehistorica, the fantastic Valorian Dragon released for the Fantasy Faire. You can the dragon avatar from the Prehistorica mainstore or at the Marketplace

Fantasy Faire 2023: The Magic of Dragons

April 28, 2023

The Magic of Dragons is the name of this year’s quest at the Fantasy Faire, for many one of the highlights of the whole event. Featuring a new story every time, the quest takes you across the Fairelands to help the Bard Queen protect the lands from the Unweaver’s threats. This time, the quest is all about dragons, so it seemed appropriate to at least start off the quest in the shape of a dragon! Specifically, the Wyrmling Valorian Dragon avatar from Prehistorica, a brand new release for the Fantasy Faire and a fantastic treat for anyone who is a fan of the dragons of Westeros.

So, in the 100th Otherworldly vlog, I give you a look at the start of the quest as well as at the dragon avatar. I hope you will enjoy it! More details about the dragon can be found below the video and the images.
