/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

As a follow up to >>10845087 , here's the finished surcoate I ended up sewing for the 13th Century event I went to. Went together pretty well for a first project, ignoring the numerous mistakes I made like accidentally sewing up the neckhole while doing the shoulders. It taught me a lot, which means the next sewing project I do should hopefully be a lot smoother.

It depends. I'd see it as Larp personally, as you are roleplaying within a particular scenario, but I know people who draw the line between sim and larp as whether you are RPing a job or a person. I'd give my left nut to go to a milsim west event and blast off an AKs worth of blanks, but sadly all the airsoft "larps" near me are basically just skirmishes people dress up slightly more specially for. A decently interesting Scifi mercs one ended up getting cancelled because the players just refused to talk to NPCs or stay in character for more than a few minutes and would often mag dump them on sight. It seems to be a problem of airsofters as a group clashing with larp as a concept more than something integrally different between high immersion airsoft games and larps though.
