Two questions about the molds, then. Firstly, could you use a metal example of what you wanted to make, like an actual metal breastplate, as a mold? And secondly, could you create a modular mold by making a base, say an unadorned breastplate mold, and temporarily attaching details to the base...

Tell me about it. I've got about a third of a functional shop crammed into a closet in the back of my apartment. Still, ~20 dollars for a piece of armor is a pretty good deal, especially if one were to make it in numbers that would help to bring the price down. Painting and making the forms...

So my brother asked me to make him a suit of stormtrooper armor, and after telling him no and directing him to some DIY sites I started wondering if a home made vacuum forming table could be used to make a lot of cheap, reasonably durable armor bits to spruce up monsters, NPCs, and other plot...

Thanks for the responses.

I think I owe Libras several cookies now.

I was wondering about this. Let's say bob the Fighter has two sets of armor. One is just a breast and backplate with some simple pauldrons, bracers, and greaves. Bob wears this when he's knocking around because it looks nice, it keeps his insides inside, and most importantly it breathes well and...

I once killed a physicist that way. about two hours into describing the flavors of quarks he got a sort of amused look on his face and just collapsed.

Didn't Conan become a King by his own hand, give it up when he got bored, and go on to die of old age having fought with sorcerers and demons, wizards and Picts, Gods and armies? I seem to recall Wulfgar was last seen as a thin paste after he dropped a ceiling on his own head. That said, Conan...

I find this rather confusing myself, having just come from my first event. How do you tell a naked human, a naked gypsy, and a naked barbarian apart if they've all got gags on and you're trying to decide who to sacrifice to the Golden Serpent? When does a pattern stop being interesting and...

Great things about being a human. 1. General Omnivore - You can eat just about anything. Enjoy your potatoes while the kitties are starving! 2. Evolved from monkeys - Everyone likes monkeys. 3. Not Angsty - Take that, Dark Elves! 4. Ain't know one gonna tell me how to dance - Be whoever else...

Where are the limits on choosing critters to base Scavengers off of? Are there even limits? Would, say, a Mandrill, or a Fer-de-Lance, or, god forbid anyone do the makeup for it because it would be terrrifying, a gulper eel be acceptable? I'm poking around the wide and terrible internets looks...

I'm uncomfortable with the idea of Gypsies as a separate race for another reason. There are millions of Roma, Romani, Travellers, and assorted other ethnic and cultural groups in the US and in Europe from whom pop culture draws it's stereotypical 'Gypsies'. As far as I know official or...

http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/cariadoc/perfect_armor.html Step 1 - Go to that site, read it twice. Step 2 - Look up leather in your phone book, call everyone listed, and ask if they have scraps of 6-8 oz. or 8-10 oz. vegetable tanned leather available. Step 3 - Get your supplies. Go to a...

http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/Tu ... -2360.html You could construct a bow scabbard that hangs on your belts. As far as I know this sort of thing would be more appropriate on the saddle of your step pony, but until I prefect the method for adhering a legal thrusting tip to a horseshoe...
