Mark, I was only talking about the total time investment, actually. If you want to, you can do it all in about 30 minutes, but you should really let the glue...
That is true. If you are making multiple weapons, the increased time investment is marginal. It would take you an extra 15 minutes do do 6 weapons as it...
apologize about the lack of response, I've had a fever of 103 the last few days. the decisive difference in what I'm talking about is in combat battle games ...
Sorry to hear you were ill. I've had a back issue for the last two months and it just sucks. Whereas I don't doubt that you have played quite a few games with...
First, there is no such thing as a latex weapon. I would use the term medium grade weapon. There is a build principle of a standardized sandwich construction...
In defense of NERO. And yes a Joe Valenti chapter…the guys making weapons there were very very helpful in teaching their craft. Dwayne Frechette and Frank...
Mark, I am not sure, but I think Jeremie might be talking about those crappy Excaliber weapons. NERO started promoting that as some sort of business deal. I...
Ah. Well I only have my experiences to draw from. I suppose that we will always need to continue to try different things and ideas so that we have a much...
I need to amend my statement about the NEROWest weapon stock - Mark M. posted that they are from Eldritch, which means they aren't Forgotten Dreams stock like...
Is there anyone who can give me a ride between Intercon H and Boston Logan that Friday and Monday? Because I really really really can't afford to rent a car....
Guard Up! Family Swordsmanship is running 2 weeks of Residential (Overnight) Summer Camp in 2008 in Charlton, MA. 2008 Camp Sessions are June 23-27 and July...
For when they are older - not as NPC's but as a thing for the kids to do in summer. ... From: guardup <guardup@...> Date: Feb 6, 2008 12:34 PM Subject:...
I was out to dinner last night, and the guy I was eating with was telling me that LARPers in general are not very political. I don't know that I believe him.so...
Well how do we want to define "political"? - Will vote in a General Election for POTUS? Any General Election? - Will vote in a Primary Election for POTUS? Any...
Personally, I'm not terribly political, but the IFGS Society clerk was involved in the caucasses last (Tuesday) night. She plans on going onward to help with...
I know several larpers who are quite active (socially and organizationally), and a dozen or two who simply vote. I also know several who do not vote. And I ...
Hiya Ford! I vote, and do a whole mess of research before doing so down to the local level. I keep a close eye on the issues most important to me, and...
My undergraduate degree is in Political Science. I have worked on many many political campaigns, including being a campaign manager for a state representative...
I love politics and follow it like most people follow professional sports. Other than being generally liberal, I can't say I care very much about the outcome,...
I work for the local party (as a volunteer), and I'm frequently active in political campaigns. And I'm involved in online activism. Heck, I spend more time on...
This mainly pertains to Boffer combat larps I tool, carve, grommet, cuir boilli, studd, fasten plates to, dye, paint, twist, contort, stretch, shape and mold...
I think your question is too open ended to answer easily. I think mostly it depends on the combat mechanic being used, and whether or not the game wants...
The IFGS uses an armor point system. 1-point for Leather, 2-points for chain, and 3-points for plate mail. Magic protections can increase this to some...
I have used several different armor models over the years, but usually come back to the simple 'adds hit point' model as the simplest in an already very ...
I have heard the "heavy armor is dangerous" over and over again, but with no actual facts to support it, not even vague anecdotes of injury. I was very ...
Well, okay, if you say so. I have, in fact, seen people getting hurt by armor..though I will concede that it was, generally, bad armor, made of real metal to...
I understand the primary question of the original email. I did not bring up the secondary issue about real armor being unsafe. I did, however, feel that the...
Jeremie, I have played in a system where besides getting armor points, if you wore plate you were immune to arrows and thrown weapons. In this system, your ...
