This comes before there was an Alliance. And I know "Throwback Thursday" is a Facebook thing but thought it would get a larger audience at the home of the game run by the guy who's name is at the top of the title page. In 1991, I was working at a company called Costume Armour in Hudson Valley...

Hey everyone - I figure since this is sort of about Alliance this is the right forum. If not, please move to the correct one. Thanks :) There is a national LARPing database being created at http://www.larping.org/larps/ where you can enter information about your chapter there. It's slowly...

Actually, yes. I had thought that IG items (such as coins) could only change hands with characters at the actual game. I must be either remembering a really old rule or another system's rule. BTW, the monkey's name would be Jeff.

I agree with Mike 100%. However for every person is about the spirit of the rules there's one that is about letter of the rules or a spirited interpretation that only benefits them at that time. At least that has been my experience. On another point - I don't see stealing such items as a way...

Do you feel it is too much to ask if someone is going to sell brownies in game, that they take a CO - Baker skill before they do that? I mean, there should be some minimal requirement along those lines if you're going to be gaining an IG advantage (collection of more coin). I remember playing...

I'm also going to post a link to my reply to a similar thread like this insofar as to discuss ways the player bringing in the items, with very minimal help from plot, can make things a bit more 'realistic' along with other production items along with various IG consequences that may not be...

If you read any of the "Tales of Fortannis" anthologies set in this game world, you'll see that not only is it normal for me but others are getting to enjoy them too. http://michaelaventrella.com/mikes-books/

Just pimpin' my website as I always do around this time. I do lots of custom work. Most on this site is for reference - but I do sell a lot of Kobold masks and throwing rocks. :D https://www.etsy.com/shop/LARPGear

That's an interesting thought though... Gypsies have a very strict rules about where and when to bestow a curse. However, Wyldkin aren't Gypsies so do they have the same restrictions? How do Gypsies feel about Wyldkin using the curses? Some real RP potential there between Wyldkin with...

I'm also happy to talk as well. Been doing the LARP promotion thing for nearly 20 years now on the west coast. :)

You can set up your own Tugg event if you want. It's free and very little work other than posting a couple of notices in gaming and LARPing message boards.

Hello everyone, A movie that was shot nearly three years ago set in a LARP is now potentially coming out to a theater near you. Knights of Badassdom has seen many troubles and tribulations to finally get released. And it is possible to see it on the big screen. It was shot in Washington...

I know this guy! He's been a LARPer out here in SF Bay Area for nearly 20 years now.

I think that many people believe putting on a costume and responding to a different name constitutes roleplaying enough for them to choose it. I think that a more concise definition of roleplaying is needed. For example, would you attend (and pay for) a weekend long Alliance event that offered...

Re: My LOVE/HATE Relationship with Shields and learning to f I believe that a person should use what they want to use. If they see themselves as Boromir with a shield, help them do it right. The trouble is what is considered 'turtling'. Here's what it says in the rulebook: Turtling...

I suppose an easy way to do it is to give physical armor something like 1 innate parry/ per X points, dodge per Y points - representing the ability to use the armor to block incoming attacks. This would help remove some of the immobility issues. Or give blacksmiths an easier way to 'work'...

I'd prefer to see real armor be a damage reduction or threshold type of formula. Not sure how the translation should be as I"m not well versed in the balance issue but for instance, taking current armor points and dividing that by three, giving you a threshold/DR of that amount. So a 30 point...

I'm going to politely disagree with this like others have. I have multiple friends whom I've been chatting with about LARPs from time to time and many say "We'd love to try one out." First, I don't have multiple copies of the rulebook to hand out to friends (I currently have a literal half...

I suppose it's up to the interpretation of the marshal. To me, pennies aren't 'studs' if they're sewn into a pattern close enough. There is no definition in the rulebook on the dimensions of a plate that constitutes 'plate mail' - perhaps because there's no such thing as plate mail (Thank you...

Guys, she doesn't want the belly armor. She wants a full on chest plate. People have a vision of what they want their character to look like. Her's isn't wearing a full metal waist cincher. It's the same reason not everyone's costumes look the same. Heck, someone in ASF made 'penny armor'...
