Hiya everyone! I've just been looking at rubber insulation opposed to foam, and I'm just curious what the general consensus is. Rubber of course costs a lot more, but it does feel softer upon contact. Of course, the worry is that it's TOO soft and you begin whacking people with the core of your...

It's awesome that you're coming along to LARP with us! I'm a completely new player as well, only 17 and attended my 1st session a couple weeks back, but it's great to see someone else my age attending! I may come with my friend from high school, 16 as well, so that'll also be totally awesome. ^.^

Probably the most memorable (and the most repeated) conversation of the first and second day. Poor poor Fresh Meat. Also, where can we find the pictures of the event? I'd love to take a look at them! "What's Rule 1?" "Communication. It's broken down into two parts, speaking clearly and...

Is that a DnD reference? XD That's awesome. I half-have a mind to play DnD 5E or Alliance's tabletop game at the event this weekend in a few hours, but it seems a tad, mm... redundant. xP WOW, holy crap, ya carry that much stuff with ya? No joke, the bags look AMAZING, but gosh that's a lot of...

I've been looking around shops and found that it was a tad difficult finding "in-genre" bags and backpacks at a decent cost. Do people carry around in-genre bags or is most LARPing possible without lugging a bag with rope and water and rations and a knife and etc.? I do have a nice leather box...

Are staffs exceptionally powerful in LARP combat?

Daaarn, that's what I thought. I suppose I could see about borrowing some armor, or go iron man and head in there naked. xD Rogues aren't super tanky anyways, especially for level one. Thanks for the advice everyone! Nope, that's not the shirt, just the undershirt. There's a lot more, I was...

Just put together a small prototype of my "bracers", which essentially is just leather lace. I didnt pick up the rabbit fur because Im aiming for a low profile type of armor and that I ran out of cash. x.x Do you guys think this could net a point of armor? Constrictions definately on my mind...

Wow, that looks really, really good actually, I'm surprised. o.o I love how you say "ONLY 19 points". That's more than 3x my starting health! XD I might take ya up on that offer after all, or maybe offer it to my Fighter friends, they're lacking pretty good in armor too. How'd ya make it? Oooh~...

Quick, what's the first thing you guys immediately do at a LARP?

Oooh that's not a bad deal actually! The leather bag scraps I found at Beverley's, our local arts/crafts store was $20 for roughly the same weight, and it was mostly full of leather lace anyways, a bit of a rip-off. Pickle barrels? We have those in San Francisco? xD The only thing I think of...

Thanks for the awesome suggestions! The leather lace is definitely something I'll go for, and I'll have tons of ideas to fix something up for next year. ^.^ Any more ideas for some quick belly/chest armor? Maybe I could find some imitation leather plates and sew them up together for some sturdy...

Hiya everyone! I'll be attending my first event with my friends this weekend in SF, super excited for it. ^.^ I just have a quick question. What are some ways to add some extra Armor points besides being in-genre? We'll be first level, but a few extra hitpoints would ALWAYS help the cause. I...

Sweet, thanks for the replies guys! ^.^ I'll talk to my group about it, see if we can't get any of those to work. Chances are we'll return some of the foam and buy either the Home Depot insulation or take the money and buy it online.

Hiya there! My party and I ran into a bit of a problem. We bought two types of pipe insulation, a 4-pack of 1/2" x 3 ft, and 3 3/4" x 6 ft foam. Problem is, the 4-pack is 1/8th too small, and the 3/4" doesn't fit the size of pipe we have, a 1/2" pipe. It jiggles around whenever you shake it...
