My business coach sent me this. If applied correctly it could revolutionize LARPing. http://www.fastcodesign.com/1665495/sim ... o-graphics For one thing, it might be used to track stats, so no more forgetting to apply the effects of a 'magic armour' or trying to do the mathematics quickly in...

Thanks! The staff got approved for the weekend I had to redo the thrusting tips. Applying the tape directly to the foam prevents the foam from expanding properly, even with the perforations. The suggestion was to put a plastic bag over the foam tips and then apply the tape to the bag. This...

Okay - Just got the materials (and it's an hour before I have to leave, so I'll probably have to finish this there - I hope I can get a reply to this before I leave :( ) Does the 5/8 " refer to the diameter of the hole, or the actual amount of padding? The hardware store I was at only had 3/4"...

Actually, I just re-read it yesterday, I think it was because I had no idea what I was doing, but this thread made the 'final vision' a lot clearer, and therefore the instructions made more sense. I still don't get the 'fold it unto itself like a donought until it ... fits in the hole' or...

Yup, as pointed out in many of the posts, there's all kinds of multi-layered meanings to some of them, which makes it all the more perfect. (But I'm of the camp that still wishes the toonie was named either the Double Loon or the Dubloon - I don't care which spelling, but the double meaning was...

Re: Anyone excited for the next event? Espically the festiva I'm excited too :). Was a little antsy the first time out, but on the Monday morning I woke up and it was like... oh it's over :tears: can't wait to get back into it! Based on last event's RP I've decided to make two of my...

Epic Armoury Canada via Myth Games (mythic, our chapter owner, also owns that store). If a week turn around time isn't unreasonable, then maybe I'll call and check in, otherwise I'll start making a staff. The only other thing I absoloutly need on that order (the black robe with gold trimming)...

Thanks Sean, I just edited my reply, so might want to double check the materials I listed. That business you linked is just within walking distance, and actually I'm headed out that way today (on my way to an Archery range, since there's a tournament for this weekend's event and one of the...

Uh.. yeah. If I can't pick it up at my local Rona, then there's no point. I DO have a Latex staff on order, and I need the rep for this weekend. The only reason I'm making my own is 'cause I don't know if the one I ordered will arrive in time. So, too flexible or not, PVC is my only option...

Thanks for the replies! Good clarification for me, thanks for the 1 inch end-cap - I wouldn't have clued in to that. (@orc - I did catch that spiral-wrapping isn't safe because it adds extra weight and can compress the foam so it winds up being harder. Thanks for pointing it out though...

Nice... what country code is their shoe sizes in? (I don't know anyone with size 14 in North American shoe size - 13 is already pretty gigantic. I'm 11.5 and I have a hard time finding 12s in most stores.) EDIT: Found my answer after a little digging; These shoes run true to US sizes

Couldn't find a thread on this (except a semi-related one about double-blades) so I figured I'd start a new one to ask; Are there any simple & direct guides or how-tos involving making a boffer staff? The suggestions in the book have 'general weapon' and then a few other points of note for...

I wasn't until this post that I saw a slight problem; Crown Makes it a little hard to distinguish at a glance between a Crow and a Crown when reading text or writing. I think Lions is better, for this reason - plus it is on the current king's heraldry so I think it's a better fit. (As for...

Ooh "Lion's Bounty" and "The Lion's Share". Love it! And since it ties in with the lore and makes total sense, it's great!

While I take your meaning as general good advice, I'm not sure how it applies specifically to my posts in this thread?

+1 to Garnett's and Aaron's suggestions. Though it puts a totally different meaning to the expression oog expressions "have a crow (over something that upsets someone)" and "I don't give a crow!" (although that would probably changed to 'wouldn't give a crow' if it was referring to IG coin) If...

Since we're the first Canadian chapter (not counting the disbanded ones) I'd like to suggest; Gold Loons Silver Hart (or Elk - moose doesn't quite have the same majesty) Copper Beavers :D Well, then how about Gold Lions? (Also a play up on the fact that we're on Lions' Youth Camp) I'm...

That's fair, however Templar DOES have only religious meaning, except for the on lawyer thing in London (that doesn't appear in most dictionaries). From that point of view of the etymology, Paladin would be prefered over Templar. However from the point of view of demographcs, it would actually...

The point is that if the 'No Religion' thing is really all that clear, why have a name for a class that so clearly is derived from religious roots. It really does blur the lines for people who do not read things all the way through thoroughly (and even for those who DO). Many of the people in...

The image that started this thread was exactly this. A red, 4-way symmetrical cross on a white background (the same as on the swiss flag, but 'square' rather than rectangular like on a flag), and even that was enough to start this long discussion of the issue. (He happens to have a more...
