Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

High Seas Adventures

High Seas Adventures

With the No_Anchor style from No.Match, you are ready to set sail and embark on a high seas adventure. Out not at We Love Role-Play, the style includes both male and female fits and a hud for customising the textures of the rakish hat. The Ephiane tunic from Senzafine is also available at the event, as are the Florence boots by Evil Baby. I admit, those are a bit more Victorian high fashion than high seas, but who says a pirate can’t be stylish?

The ship is my old favourite, Neptune’s Revenge from Rustica, sailing the tropical seas of Kingdom of Islands landscape by Landscapes Unlimited.

Timeless Reflections

Timeless Reflections

I am mixing my time periods wildly here with several new releases from the November round of We Love Role-Play, but I love the end result. In the pre-furnished Shadow Mansion from Death Row Designs, I setup the Tudor Wall Table Set from Simply Shelby. It has a really fantastic reflection cube and great dusty textures for the mirrors, making for lovely reflections with a really old-timey look to them.

The dress is by Senzafine, very gothic in its style and beautifully textured. The Zelda pumps by Grasshopper Street are a little late in style, but suited the look nicely even so. And the final touch from WLRP is the very cool Mechanism Hand by lassitude & ennui, a delicate Steampunk-styled replacement hand that comes in four different textures and can be used on both hands at the same time or just on one. Very ladylike and elegant.

Errand Girl

Errand Girl

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.

Fantasy Faire 2024: Walk the Plank

Fantasy Faire 2024: Walk the Plank

Adventure calls at Plankbarrow Harbor, where many broken ships have come to rest and a twisted array of ropes and planks shaped into a town of sorts. A hideout for pirates and treasure seekers, with dangers lurking both on the rickety wooden piers and below the waves. If you plan on visiting, you had better keep your wits about you and a trusty dagger at hand. Not all encounters will be friendly, especially after dusk.

The Muses Wanderer outfit almost looks made for the Atriane Gloves from Senzafine, or vice versa. A great base for a pirate look, with the ostentatious hat by Attitude is an Artform adding a lot of flair (and sitting nicely on the curly hairstyle by Analog Dog). The necklace from Portal is rather understated but has an interesting design and the obsidian dagger from Oblivis Solem looks appropriately menacing.

I am late to report this, but LL has allowed the Faire two extra days before the Fairelands fade away, which means you will be able to explore, shop and raise money for RLF until the 7th of May!
