From what I gathered latex isn't specifically banned provided that the minimum safety requirements in construction are met, and the individual chapter's rules committee allows the weapon. It is a case-by-case thing, which is perfectly fine by me. As a potential 'McDonald's patron' I am...

Haha,wow, I didn't realize it was that hard to come by! I would definitely be interested in seeing what you have come up with.

That is what I like to hear =) Weapons that can actually look cool while being safe. I am all for safety, but I would like to bring at least some creativity to the table when designing things. Foam is infinitely sculpt-able, so I don't see why that cannot be used in its favor to make cool and...

As an outsider, I feel it is a valid question. Particularly with constant harping on and on about 'staying in period garb' and 'being as authentic as possible', even to the point of making people who have a real beard wear an additional fake beard on top to show 'true dwarfy-ness'. Those...

The one i posted was nearly $200 online. I have no idea how much work is involved, but the materials + work might not be worth it even as a side job, lmao.

Ok cool. I completely see the failures you mentioned, based on the above picture. Assuming that the components are correct, and that the foam is thick enough and located in all of the proper locations, it should still be possible to make a 2h Blunt that looks almost exactly like this (with...

Jesse do you usually do the food for both seattle and oregon events? How did you get roped into that?!

Why is this worse than foam completely covered in duct tape? I see so many cool weapon ideas, but they're always latex-coated foam. If the weapon met the minimum requirements for foam thickness, foam coverage, and shape (no spikey bits, nothing that could get in an eye socket) would it still...

Hey Jesse, It sounds like you guys are pretty organized on the food-end. For anyone without any dietary restrictions it sounds like perfectly acceptable sustenance. I don't personally have any medical dietary restrictions, but as a lifestyle choice I choose to eat as healthy as possible...

Awesome responses so far. NPCing is completely free then, no membership/regsitration, etc? It does sound like many NPC's would be better off going the PC route and bringing their own food, rather than impose on the quartermaster of the event to cater to their restrictions. Anyone else...

Hey, I found this site through the alliancelarp.com board. When i surfed up the front-page of the site (http://alliance-seattle.com) it is just white, with nothing going on. Is it under maintenance or something?

So that is the site with the actual period buildings and such? I found this website, http://faireplay.org/ Did any new buildings go up or was it mostly cleaning/maintenance? I did find some pics of the site (for anyone who hasn't seen it, it looks pretty cool): http://faireplay.org/photos.php

What is a work-weekend, and what did this one entail? Any pics of it hosted anywhere?

Haha i meant as a player helping the chapter. For example, if you're a software developer, does the chapter need any win32 clients built to interface with the database to make module creation or player tracking easier? Or if your bent is more of the web, does the chapter need help with...

Well played, sir. Well played.
