Well it's true for all aspects of the game.
Fewer better scenarios.
Fewer better monster.
Also a matter of players, having fewer but better players, that raises the quality and enjoyment for all, and makes it more appealing to newbies than bi-weekly no-standards shit.

>>7307045
Quality over quantity in short.

>>7307005
I though that was French?

So she's hot, well armoured AND experienced?
I call that a Hattrick.

>>7306988

>>7306967
In context however it can be noted that all other banned items are garments as well.

>>7306955
Aah yeah, I can see they forgot to add a "no snide twats" rule as well.

Even a helpful little guide to first timers...
This is a GOOD sign for the future of US larp.

"Many times the question is asked: "What should I bring to my first game?". The question is really contingent on whether or not you'll have a character ready by then. Newer players are encouraged to play an event of NPC roles to rack up some experience and get a better feel for the game. In this case you'd need just some simple non-descriptive garb to last you a few days.

Sample first timer’s kit:

• PC garb. Includes: Boots, medieval trousers/skirt, tunic/blouse, belt, beltpouch, cloak.

• NPC garb. Includes: Boots, neutral colored trousers, tunic. (something other than your PC garb)

• Electric lantern (no brand-names showing), (glowsticks are allowed at night as well)

• Food for the weekend (snacks or more if you plan on not paying coin at the inn)

• Drink for the weekend (jug of water will do)

• Medications (if applicable)

• Boffer weapon

• Sleeping bag/blankets/pillow

• Sign-in Fee ($25)

• A feast kit: bowl, spoon, fork, mug/goblet

• Toiletries

• Towel

• Seasonal gear: bug spray, thermal underwear, wool socks, gloves, hat, scarf, extra drink, firewood.

• An open mind and a good attitude! Later additions to your kit might involve things like armor, rucksacks, a trap kit, rope, canteen, extra weapons, magical treasures earned in the game, your coin and gems, a journal, quill and ink, chalk, candles, encampment props, etc. If you think you can use it, and you can carry it… go nuts."

Oh wow this is beuutiful...

> "1.1.1 Players who consistently demonstrate sub-standard garb, or who are wearing something jarringly anachronistic, will be removed from the game and given the option of continuing to play as a non-player character for the Game Masters, or to leave until they can correct the anachronism. Items that will merit this level of response include, but are not limited to:

• Fluorescent or day-glow colors
• Modern military clothing in cut or pattern
• Camouflage patterns in any form
• Printed bandannas
• Sneakers in any form or color
• Modern hats
• Visible zippers (Zippers on the insides of boots are acceptable if not obvious)
• Cargo pockets on pants
• Visible white socks
• Exposed modern webbing or straps
• Visible duct tape (Duct tape is permissible, but undesirable, on weapons only)
• Clothing of obviously modern cut or materials
• Nylon or zippered backpacks or satchels
• Clearly mundane prints or logos"

Must say I sympathise, in a area 20 times that of my country, with 4 time our population, there's fewer games and less diversity.

IF you'll consider a lengthy travel 400 some miles...

Looks REALLY good, and that comparing it to en good European game.
But it is in... Cleveland NY.

Meat Loaf?
Neat

That whole cool getup ruined by a blue bathrobe sash.

He's not even an Orc, He's actually a Goblin, he ate an uncooked troll steak on a bet, it's still regenerating in his gut after well over a decade, leaving him almost Orc sized, permanently stuffed, surly and massively flatulent.

But that's another story

>>7304836
You'll get points from me on that.
Always good to have folks play to their strengths and build.

Vampire live's a rather diverse group with a huge gaps between groups, there are drama-llamas, bored goths, true "Wampyres" and people that just want to play undead assholes live and have fun doing so.

>>7304701
Ya, I know, can't believe I didn't notice I've been nameless for hours, only remembers it on /tg/

>>7304142
Well opersonally I won't be caught with some of the quick n dirty tricks I've seen at Cosplay, duct-tape/Stapler "stitcing"...

>>7304160
Also durability, we did have a very experiences and quite talented cosplay crafter throw a fit when his styrofoam and wall-Spackle armour got wrecked...
Turn out rigid and crumbly materials aren't all the impact resistant.
