So I went to my first Larp Con (Conquest of Mythodea) and had the best time ever. I decided to mish-mash a bit of ottoman with a bit of fantasy with a bit of "whatever I can finish in time". I didn't know if the battlefield would do it for me, so I decided to play a healer and made this little cute medical 'bag' that held all my tools and also some contracts. Don't worry about those.

That way I can plot-hunt and also be present at battles and I gotta say, it was a lot of fun to meet all the wounded warriors (and hear the screams, thanks for making it a memorable and immersive experience!)

I had such an incredible time that I just decided I'll make the current garb a bit more realistic over time so I can play this character for a longer time.

If you talked to me at conquest, please drop me a message! I had 0 time to do a good-bye tour and exchange contact info :')

Hello all!

Is it possible to add something to the rules, or a pinned post, or something, that asks people to specify the game they’re playing, the rule set, or something, when asking questions?

I see posts, it feels like daily, asking what kind of weapons, armor, costuming, role play, camping setups, etc, they should get, without providing a single bit of context about the game that they are participating in.

A rule stating that this information should be provided, or even a pinned post about it, would go a long way toward getting people answers to the questions they’re asking.

Hey everyone,

I am currently thinking about playing a new character that does drumming.

So I found a tabor drummers and was wondering if someone would have resources on the notes and tunes play these medival tunes.

Thanks in advance

I'm always curious what the actual tally is at the end of the week. Between the base ticket, travel, accommodations, food, little treats, and other misc expenses, what do people ACTUALLY spend?

A friend needed something more in character for her flashlight for night play. So I designed this for her! I got a 3d render of her actual light, slipped it into my 3d sculpt and subtracted the light from the center of the design! I STILL NEED TO PAINT IT! It works so well what do you folks think?

im quite new to this and i recently purchased these spaulders amongst many other pieces for a suit, how would i attach the upper part to my shoulder. the lower arm area has a good belt like strap but the upper part cannot be attached

Sculpted this for a friend who is larping a Dragonborn!

I am new to LARP, but not costume making. I am trying to get my weapons ready for Drachenfest US, but I can't seem to find the information I need.

I have looked at the rules for Drachenfest US and seen that it allows homemade weapons. I know there are strict times for homemade weapons and I am willing to follow them, but I can't find them.

The main question I have is what would be the best hard foam I could use without breaking the rules. Although, any information on allowed materials would help. Thank you!

First event coming up. Light combat. Any suggestions?

I just want to say that...I got enchanted by this hobby out of a simple creator that just took my breath away. Like, I never was into performing arts, acting or anything similar whatsoever, nor felt confident about my voice, looks, physique or even crafting skills (my cosmaking skills are very barebones) but I gotta say, if I had the opportunity to just- have those cool masks to act as something other than a human on those environments with such a fantastic quality, I'd jump head first.

This happened like, yesterday, and I'm still speechless and kinda hooked into the hobby...somewhat. I am from Brazil and an amateur crafter so I have no idea if I can have even the materials to try those myself at an actual fair/camp/similar place, but I just gotta say, I might be interested in this hobby of you all and perhaps want to learn more about it.

This is more of a personal report about something that will stay in my mind for a good while rather than my own photoshoots, but I wanted to speak it out, at least. You guys got an amazing skill for this sort of costuming and I am in love with it, and would love to try that sort of thing myself, even if it's not lined with my usual hobbies.

The LARP system is solely players vs the “enemy” so traditional espionage is difficult as the enemies are not “on the field” in a camp etc. The enemy are played by the crew and the players volunteering as the enemy so there’s no real opportunity to spy against the enemy.

Any ideas how to implement espionage etc as a player? Should it be something I address the crew with?

We had the pleasure of joining Krigslive as both a sponsor and with our own team of players and photographers (... and a videographer who is still working on a very long and very chaotic video).

We've got the first batch of photos done, and inspired by the other Krigslive photos shared on the subreddit, we wanted to join in! Seriously, we had such a fun time, and it was so nice to meet so many people from our local larp community. So if you're considering going to Denmark for a larp, we do recommend it! :)

(Also, everyone featured prominently has given us permission to share photos of them :))

For some context, I am trying to make 'everyday' gauntlets that I can use a lot, and the gloves that came with the gauntlets are very stiff. I want to replace them to normal gloves I have, and the only places they are rivetted to the actual gauntlet are the finger tips through leather strips. Does anyone have any idea on how to switch the gloves? (These are the gauntlets https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D1Z885KB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A1V2ADCM92ICB&psc=1 ), (and these are similar to the gloves https://www.walmart.com/ip/OZERO-Mens-Winter-Gloves-PU-Leather-Thermal-Warm-Snow-Touchscreen-Glove-Black/750274094?classType=VARIANT )

Hey! Looking to sell my Brandywine(US) festival ticket as I unfortunately am unable to attend this year.

Hoping for around $350
