>I meant what manifacturer/how do you make your weapons so quillions are not flappy and can be useful.

Sandwhiched layers of .25" solebend leather, and foam.

>First of all, you more then once put less than desirable effort into stuff.

I dunno... Period hose, footwear, steel armour, hand quilted gambeson, constantly improving my harness.... Old pic is me barely dressed at a local larp, and minus the point at my leg harness blowing out I feel quite comfortable in my kit and portrayal.

>Secondly, those are pretty decent costumes, the boots having a little sticker not even on the front is such a minor thing that only faggots with a stick up in their ass would complain about it. Is it ruining your immersion? Good, I hope it also hurts because pain builds character.
Thirdly boots is always the last piece of equipment that should be "perfect" and even than we don't care that much about it. It's a fucking game.

He put so much work into the rest of the costume, why couldn't he take the time to just do ONE little thing? The kit is /good/ so therefore, its time to focus on the small details. Get me? Knitpicking comes with quality.

>Fourthly, I could take you more seriously in this question if you post your own pics that are taken on larps in the larp thread not just sca pics.

And as someone who's on my facebook, you'll see them first when they get posted. The larp I have been playing in locally is less than 100 people, and doesn't have anyone taking pics. For SCA, reenactment events and ACL events, I haven't had time to actually trawl through the pics and actually tag myself. I would LOVE for more pics of the games I am in, because they are exploding in the quality of their kit because of threads like these giving advice, and pointing out the details.

Get off the cross.

I got a theory: I actually met a handful of larpthread folks at the Amtgard/Dagohir/ORCS event I went to a month back. I brought a little dayshade, some home made meatpies to share, and one of my hookahs, we generally had a chill time and a lot of "You're pretty nice offline" laughs.

I did have one guy who was super butthurt about me "having to show off", but scampered off before we could talk.

To be very frank about it, I am a big guy, and not just chub wise. I was also whacking people pretty good. This is probably his attempt at "vengeance".

Again, just a theory though. I feel bad for poor anon.
