    Leg Armor people! How?

    Biggest advice for stuff that goes on arms/legs is to anchor them to something. for thighs, have a strap go up to the belt. this prevents them from sliding down and binding on your knees. same for bicep/upper arm.. anchor to the shoulder to stop it from sliding down onto your elbow. these...

    So I want to build a latex weapon

    An odd question.. though they are called 'Latex Dip' weapons, I've heard in this post and elsewhere people using other materials. Has anyone tried Silicone? I used to buy caulking tubes of pre-colored 100% silicone at a hardware store. you can apply it with spreaders etc, and if you use a wet...

    Two NPCs needing a ride from Denver to November game.

    Thought I would bump this thread for re-use. I'm looking for a ride to the January Faire day. I live in Denver (Sunnyside/Highlands Neighborhood) at 38th and Federal, but can get to most anywhere in the Denver metro area to make things easy. I won't have too much luggage, and if vehicle space is...

    Courting...Larp Style

    Well, in this chapter at least, there have already been a number of relative nobodies that became knights... including an NPC kobold. We have Barons sharing the same meal with farmers. I don't think we actually have much in the way of limiting social norms of that sort, but that would need to be...

    January Faire Day

    I think that in most cases, all people from a local group are generally supposed to be locals. Having a core of this group being from other areas does put a strain on things for the 'why'. Expecially during the November event, when it came up that the nobles were offering to escort some of the...

    two hander weapon construction:help needed

    if you can find them, sometimes places will sell fiberglass rectangle posts to go with that ugly bright orange safety fence. The rectangle tube stuff works good for rigidity, and also has added benefit for reduced chance your foam with rotate or slip if you are making a headed weapon like an axe...

    January Faire Day

    Similarly, since people are wondering on armor/weapons and such, is there NPCing needed for this event, or is this a Player Characters gathering event.

    Posible sale at-cost items - Throwing reps

    If these are a success, (meaning I order a load of them, and don't end up with hundreds of them sitting in my closet still) Then I would consider ordering more unusual shapes or additional runs of them. Posibly even put the Alliance Logo on them if that is allowed. (not sure on fair use policy...

    Star Shaped Throwing Weapons

    If anyone wants to order free samples, I'd recomend ordering the more unusual shapes and products. expecially since if it's free, might as well get one of the more expensive ones. Anyone that does get a free sample, I have a few tests to run on them, as well as asking opinion. The more people...

    Plastic armor

    From what I recall, Armor must be made of appropriate material, so for instance a suit of representation plate armor MUST be metal. You might be able to get by with it for medium grades, or as reinforced leather, but rules are pretty big on not wanting to let people wear lightweight cheap...

    Cloak cheap?

    If you want warmth, then getting a US Army blanket. (Olive green wool) as fabric is a good call if you can find them. with that, you can make a half circle cloak, then use the trimmed corners to make a hood, ties, or whatever else Just make sure that if it still has the big U.S. logo on it...

    Posible sale at-cost items - Throwing reps

    Posted national level, but started Denver side here http://alliancelarp.com/forum/threads/star-shaped-throwing-weapons.18277/ I am in process of determining the valid use of foam stress balls as throwing weapon representations, however they cannot be purchased in small quantity, and become...

    Star Shaped Throwing Weapons

    I'll have to see if I can get one to do weather testing on. unfortunatly, you can't buy small quantity of them. They DO offer to send free samples, but need a corperate email address, which I only have generic emails and EDU emails from the college. If anyone is able/willing to use a corperate...

    Star Shaped Throwing Weapons

    A roomate brought home a foam stress ball from US Bank that was shaped like a 5 pointed star. my immediate thought was 'Foam Shuriken', so I did some research. You can buy the things in mass for about 50-75 cents a piece... if you order a few hundred of them at once. (75cents each for 150, 55...
