We Love Roleplay in Second Life is a monthly shopping event aimed at nerds … in their words! I’ll say it’s aimed at Roleplayers. The aim of the event is described on their website as :
Our goal is not to make money, but to spread the word of awesome creations delivered by our favorite designers and support the role-play community with an event that offers great deals and quality items. We wish to support true creativity and true talent, especially with the current influx of ripped content, which often lets the motivation of true designers diminish.
This goal generally is visualized, too, by a carefully and tastefully designed location with attention to details. We wish to deliver a feeling of a true role-play event, almost as if you could come shop in character.
The event usually starts on the 4th of each month, although they do make an exception in July.
The themes you’re likely to find here are described as :
Medieval (Fantasy), Gor, Ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt, Victorian, Vikings, Barbarians, Native American, Wizards* (Merlin etc.), Steampunk, Fantasy and similar themes.
However the organisers are open to other themes, so if you have a theme you think may be suitable for this event, contact the organisers.
To get an idea of the sort of designers who display at this event, visit the designers page. However please note that all of the designers do not participate all of the time. I’m familiar with some of the names on that list.
The organisers of the event include :
- Arica Storaro – Event Owner
- Adara Cascarino – Event Manager
- Anabelle Marquis – Social Media Manager
- Tricky Button – Event Manager
- Jikiro Silverblade – Event Manager
Some of the people involved are currently taking a break.
One word of warning, Arica Storaro, the event owner, is also known as The Blogging Elf, I’ve warned people often enough of the dangers of Elves! I sneaked past her to explore the sim. I was not offered any mead for writing this blog post either!
