Eh, it's lame, but there is much worse out there.

>>10462256
Once you're my age, continue to eat like I'm still in my 20's. YMMV.

>>10462210
Huh? Weird. I figured since A new one started, it hit autosage.

>>10461845
It didn't die, it hit limit.

>>10461896
Seconded.

>>10461964
Post it

Also, in color

I gotchu. It's been making the rounds lately.

>>10461135
Classic

>I thought it was green and purple divided diagonally by white?

That's the one we have approved and cleared by the SCA, IMCB and Battle of the Nation's.

I'm sure there are rare outliers, but it is not going to be common, and I'd love to see them. I bet that most you are thinking of they are defined blazons: you can have a color on color if it is either a partial, or defined by an outline in metal. Pic related.

Now, 20thC+ you start seeing fucky things happening with modern vexillology, which attempt to replicate heraldry, but without understanding or following the rules. For example, the republic of Albania tried to make their flag heraldic in 1998, but is heraldicly incorrect as a coat of arms.

This all said: everyone and their dog in larp uses red/black heraldry for edge points.

>>10460633
And how did I "ruin the thread"? I'm saying if you want to give somebody a bad idea, this isn't a bad one. Stay mad.

>>10460637
Except that you know that we've already blazoned that just fine. The lady doth protest too much.

>>10460314
For the love of God, please use proper heraldic rules. LARPers using red-on-black and green-on-brown with no metals kills me.

>>10460490
How is that a bad idea? Manatees and nautical themes are awesome. Pic related.

Working on a new shirt for an upcoming 18thc excursion. Just need to attach the sleeves, cut some antler buttons, and see the buttonholes.

What are you up to?

Just checked out the /tg/ thread, and aside from one weirdo, it was surprisingly good.

>>10455311
>what's the strangest non-larp-related thing you've ever done for a larp?

Took a class on midwifery.

Shameless self post: just finished a new scabbard for the early Aegean bronze short sword I'm selling.

>>10449858
You know where I stand on it.

Depending on your local Craft stores and coupons, you can get started for around 50€-ish. https://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/cgl/thread/10265314/#10292273

>>10450705
Overhand whip stitch. You're right, it's crap.

>>10451733
Interesting. Might pop in.

>>10451790
Yes/no/maybe. Where are you? What's your game? What's "eastern" to you?

There are plenty of games where you can be a dirty weeb or slav.

Any Vermont folks here? What's the scene like?

>>10445355
Nah, we're good.

>>10445772
It was never hidden, it's just very rare, and focuses more on the reenacting and camping aspects.

>>10445791
I've never had any issues with major /pol/ faggotry in /out/, and certainly much less than the /pol/ infection present in /tg/ and /his/.

>>10445793
Fucking nerds, amirite?

>>10445076
That's a little extreme, but I'll allow it.

Praise Slaanesh!

>>10445306
What kind of cake did he give you? Got any pictures? Where are you located?

Obviously, this year's pretty much a wash, but it gives you time to get yourself set up.

>>10444367
Doesn't look like any iron I have ever seen, but whatever.

>>10441200
>Why would you want to nicely decorate the interior if it's an OC tent? You're not going to play or otherwise spend any significant amount of time awake in there.

This. I would suggest focusing on practical comfort with modern stuff, and saving the money to eventually upgrade to a better tent. You can even find decent surplus military and boyscout tents for under $100 if you don't mind OD or Scout green.

>>10440072
Dump or hide the aluminum pan and make a simple A frame to mount the bulk on. Ditch the coffee pot if you don't actively use it. Otherwise not a bad start.

>>10438137
But like... What are they presenting? It's Spanish territory, which means they need to choose what they are interpreting. I can identify the uniforms from that pic.

>>10438086
... Why are there 18th century British in California? What exactly are they recreating?

>>10437891
>>10437900
Doesn't sound like my scene from the names, but I'm curious to the drama

Litigation in the US is worse than any HDA.

>Hello, I'm from ADS: the Association for Dungeon Safety. So when were you planning to fix that leak in your minions break room? I also noticed that none of your goblins have proper foot wear when inspecting that grossly out of date pit trap... What do you have to say for yourself, "dungeon master"?

>>10435533
It's not the hobo death arenas specifically, but the fact that none of them are ever up to code. Every HDA I've ever seen would be an OSHA nightmare.
