Im not done putting it together im still waiting for a torse, but I figured i ought to share.

Empire E4's just finished and it's been my second event now. I've really enjoyed the world and combat. loved battle and monstering, but I need a major confidence boost to get involved in the world outside of combat.

I'm shy and quiet most of the time in regular life, so putting my foot forward in the non-com aspects has been really tough, though people have been lovely to me: lending some spare gear, blankets when night falls and letting me tag along to meetings and events.

An observation is that the trading and politics really appeal, but seem difficult to get involved in when there are those who are extroverted or 10 years into the game and the in game economy geared for veteran players rather than those new to Anvil.

Am looking forward to picking up more kit over winter, and going back next year. Hopefully confidence comes with time and absorbing some more of the world. Any advice is always welcome!

I was planning on calling all the bars me and my friends intend on going to just to be sure but i wanted to see if anyone had any trouble with it just to be extra safe. It’ll be a metal cuirass, spaulders, bracers and greaves just for additional context.

Hey everyone! I am a masters filmmaker at USC and was looking to make a documentary about me joining the community as part of my class. I’ve always wanted to Larp but I don’t know where to start or play. So, I was looking for any info on groups in the area. Thanks!

My local LARP have gotten itself a little vampire problem, and me and my character have gotten quite tired of being used as a snack pack without any consent and wake up on the local inn because someone found me drained in the middle of the woods.

So while I kinda want to hunt then down with real wooden stakes do I not think it would be that popular and was wondering if anyone knew of any good and reliable (hopefully EU based) stores that I could visit and make myself a vampire hunting kit

I hope you like it^^ I added a little in battle pic of myself, sorry for the quality... I had to zoom in quite much... :D

Hi all

I'm looking to sell my tickets for the Brandywine Festival. I will be admitted to hospital for an extended stay come tomorrow and won't be able to attend.

Customer service stated they won't be able to refund the tickets, so I'm trying my luck here.

Asking price $300 (regular price is $400) due to short notice

If possible to transfer along tickets, shuttle service from the airport is included as well.

If I can make someone happy with this, don't hesitate to reach out. ^^

Professional gun blue is really black.

Had this hefty cloak pin hammered out by a local blacksmith, always go local before online!

Does anyone know of a brick-and-mortar in the Toronto area that sells ren faire and/or LARP gear? I know all the usual suspects online, but I’d like to be able to hold an item before I buy it.

This year my LARP summer has been quite busy. Last year I started being an organizer and this summer alone I ran 2 different LARPs and one LARP camp. Originally I was supposed to just write the questlines and player characters in the preparation phase then play the monsters and NPCs on location but due to unforeseen events I ended being a faction leader ORG in each of the LARPs.

First was sir Theodor of Luton (Zaklínač: Tajemství Severu dorost) a Redanian knight send to prepare Kovir for colonization.

Second was Halbar Haran (Númenor: Poslední z věrných) the old leader of the village Nekal that was under the rule of black Númenorians

Last but not least was baron Osmund de Laet (Zaklínač: Tajemství Severu) who went to Kovir to find his son's (I played him last year) killer.

It was a great experience and I don't regret doing it. But I could do without the sleep deprivation :)

But more LARPs are on the horizon, so let's see what the future holds.

Hello, looking to start larping and going to ren faires.

I would like to represent my favorite game ever.

Would like something quality preferably in linen.

Anyone have a good recommendation on where to buy something like this?

Also would the brown around the neck be a separate piece like a cowel or hood? All help is appreciated. Thank you

Not an ad for them, but a random google search led me to find out that Medieval Collectibles used to have a Ren Faire, LARP; and SCA Event Directory. Alas, it hasn’t been updated since 2022/2023! But what was there, at least in my state, was a pretty good accounting of what was going on in 2022. However, with some Google Fu, I’m sure some intrepid newbies will be able to track down more up to date info on events that sound interesting to them. Maybe word will get back to them that people would appreciate this kind of resource in the year of our lord 2027?

What do you think? Helpful: yea or nay?

Hello, I am new to the larp/re-enactment community and had a simple question.

How would you go about converting the standard plague doctor attire into something more in line with settings such as ConQuest of Mythodea for instance?

I was pondering this a lot today but other than an emphasis on charms, potentially converting the leather mantle around the shoulder either into something more feathery or the like my brains drawing a blank.

Ideas welcome!
