I've found a whole group of french players two years ago there, so probably you can do it too.

But as for different languages, the blue camp (they are the most international as far as I know) for example have over 15 different nationalities, nowdays probably more than 20.
The Gold camp also has it's share of random people from all around the word, and the rest of the camps aren't homogeneous either

Everyone speaks english, and I'm sure you'll find some fellow frenchmen. If all fails try to find the Bretons. The more dedicated among them should be able to communicate in french, and all of them have this horrible fake french accent that rubs off on you after 3 beer.

I mean to be honest, I don't think most LARP films very well. I love LARP but from a camera's perspective, it's hard to make it look good. The best way to hype new people up in my experience is to tell them cool stories and get them involved with the older players before game. Talk about their character concept, help them make their costumes, etc etc. Get them involved. That's going to go way farther than some vids (which, unless you're playing in a larger LARP, probably won't be representative) can.

Is this a boy or a girl? Either way, Slaanesh apparently takes some mediocore followers these days.

>>9929396
It's not out there yet but the LARP documentary from Mionfilms would spring right in the mind's eye. Otherwise go for LARP trailers like Adeptus's (Nejasná budoucnost 3 - Adeptus on yt) or the big LARPs like Epic Empires, Drachenfest (Blu Marone hurensohne) or above all Conquest (try getting shots of Flowerfield).

Hey folks,

My girlfriend is getting more into the combat side of LARP but her chest is very sensitive when struck. She prefers to play less combative healer-type roles because this is holding her back from fighting. She isn't very interested in using a shield, but is considering armor. What armors would you suggest that would be somewhat light and work well in hot weather?

I have a lot of supplies (cloth and leather) but not a lot of leather working experience. I have suggested something more on the plate side before but I haven't even completed my own breastplate yet. I think the right direction might be a leather breastplate and cuir bouille if necessary?

The system is Amtgard and her garbing focus is roughly towards 15th century Germanic peasantry.

the shoulder plates and the belt piece is from larp shops, shit tier armor that you can bend with hand . The plastic feel you get is because of the paintjob and the filters on the photo.
About the helmet I'm not sure where it's from, either could be from a larpshop or a custom made one.

I've got a few pictures, not as many as I thought but I can link the thread for those interested

Honestly I don't know what I would be playing, I thought of just getting all that together, a few small weapons along with the staff and dagger, and then going to a convention (or whatever it would be called for LARPing)

I just plan on using it to slip in and figure out what I want to do, to get a feeling for the fests and decide things from there
I feel like I'm writing a lot here but the idea I have in mind with this simple set up is to use it as a base from which to build what I want to be, add things onto it over time. DnD, along with the newest God of War, have had some impact in deciding to do this (have mercy on me)

I really like that first picture I posted bcause it's simple, nice looking on it's own, but it has such potential to be greater but is good enough on it's own

If you'd like to keep it simple, I suggest you don't, because it would be too much.
I'm no expert, but I also think it would be out of place to have plate on your legs, and chainmail on your chest, you know, as they aren't from the same time perod. Would be nice to have a progression over the years though, if your character is becoming more and more of a warrior, then add plate and such.

Honestly? It looks like someone who has no idea about clothing design and function colored some high fashion pieces brown and decided that they are good enough to be fantasy.
*No under clothes
*What the fuck is the "half sleeves" even for? Its a bolero jacket, and has no practical use or advantage.
*Those gloves make no sense.
*Why two belts?

It's not as though nobody ever historically wore their weapon on a separate belt from their everyday one. Of all the valid criticisms here, that one's a stretch.

>> No.9933655

>>9933632
Two modern belts, one being a modern utility belt, and the other having the dagger sheath seemingly attached to it.

When people wore more than one belt, it was for obvious bearing purpose. A sword would have a dedicated belt for example, as you don't want it to drag down your normal belt, and swords have greater need of being removed both socially and practically. Your girdle belt with your purse and dagger would never be removed without good reason.

Don't call it a stretch. Historic use supports it, and my own professional experience wearing a sword for a living reaffirms it.

You agreed that there is a historical basis for wearing a separate belt for one's weapon. Given that we're talking about a fantasy culture here, it seems pretty reasonable to me to accept something not quite the same, but similar, as a reasonable departure from reality.

Here, right off the top of my head, I'll give you a valid reason why someone in a fantasy world might wear a separate dagger belt:
>In their culture, it's disrespectful to wear any kind of weapon in the presence of certain nobles, so anybody expecting to meet one carries their sidearm on an easily-removable second belt.

I've been told its been pretty good for only being around for a year. Its Aluminum/Stainless Lamellar with leather bazubands for my arms. I've been thinking about getting one of the Mongol-esque Brigandines in titanium for crossgame use. I'm not used to wearing steel on my arms and legs, so that would take some getting used to.

A, being the leading edge, where the quillions rest, should be cut to a length to accommodate the full diameter of the weapon being sheathed, plus a tolerance to allow ease of insertion and removal. In this instance, I used 8-9 oz. leather as the material for the sheath, and out of concern for my weapon I allowed additional tolerance for the inclusion of a faux fur insert to both protect the weapon and to allow a more snug fit. [The greenish fur you see out the back end]

B, the length from the lead edge to the trailing edge (farthest from where the quillions rest), should be sufficiently long enough to provide stability when holstered for the weapon, so use your best judgment here.

Additional note, if using a rigid medium such as unmilled leather, it may be best to provide additional cushioning along the leading edge [A] to both prevent damage to your weapon and prevent unnecessary wear to your sheath. I opted to do a simple cord weave along the leading edge with easily replaceable milled leather lace here.

>> No.9944850

>>9944835
Well, as always, depends on everything.

If you want a SIMPLE jerkin, similar what I make you need 3-4 mm thick leather, preferably cow leather, vegetable tanned.
Then you need an awl or some pointy round cross section implement to punch holes, two ow those half circle big needles (at least that's what was most comfortable for me) and thread for leather sewing. Plus hatred for yourself and a some time to kill.
And some kind of oil, I use linseed oil because it's cheap and works just fine, but you could use rape oil or nearly any plant oil.

For a landsknecht dress? I wouldn't recommend to start with that if you never done anything like that, though a tellerberret is easy enough to practice on. and a shirt is doable too with minimal experience. I would reccommend those for a start . For those you just need basic sewing equipment a steady hand and hatred for everything plus time to kill. (the tellerberret might need a strawhat or wire, or something else depending on what kind you want)

you have to narrow it down a little. During guard duty we basically hit on everything that moves and vaguely has a female look from afar.
Some guys even try to hit on women while we are in formation. Women from the enemy formation.

For fucks sake, one of my men even bought a catgirl for him...

Anyway the "Landsknecht sports event" or the steckenkrieg as others know it is always held after the final battle in front of the Landsknecht camp.

Amtgard is losing it's mind to political correctness. They want to prohibit players from painting their skins blue or dark purple to portray Drow because it might be mistaken for blackface. They are also discussing prohibiting players from using accents (for example, a Scottish brogue) because it might be "offensive" to someone. There is also talk of renaming classes such as Barbarian, Druid and Paladin because they may be culturally insensitive. The monster classes of Green Man and Satyr may be removed because they are depicted as male monsters and it may make female players feel excluded.

Some people are really good at playing the victim card and the current political correctness push in Amtgard only encourages them. Our champion is in a polyamorus relationship with two women. He's also currently married, but he doesn't live with his wife because she kicked him out because of his constant cheating. He always picks his girlfriends to be reeves or NPCs even though they aren't reeves qualified. The fighters complain because the girlfriends don't know how to call shots correctly during tournaments and they stand around talking to each other instead of paying attention to what they're supposed to be doing. When they play NPCs, they only share quest items/information with the players that they like and intentionally exclude the players that they don't. If his wife shows up, they're constantly trying to pick fights with her. When new female players show up to his park, he hits on them until they eventually get creeped out and leave. His girlfriends get jealous around other girls, so they tend to spread malicious gossip about them or attempt to ostracize the ones that stick around. A lot of people have stopped going to his home park because they don't want to deal with the drama he causes. His park is about to be downgraded to a shire because attendance is so low. At one point, the park had duchy numbers. He's a toxic player, but he never gets in trouble because he's been a knight for 20+ years and he'd good at exploiting the rules to benefit himself and he’s good at manipulating others. If anyone complains about him or his girlfriends, he claims that he's being discriminated against because of his lifestyle choices.

The problem is that pretty much anything can be misconstrued if you look hard enough. I've seen arguments that people shouldn't dress up as vikings at Amtgard anymore because it means that we advocate rape culture. If you take out all of the RP elements out of fear of offending anyone or appearing controversial, it's not LARPing anymore. Ditching can be fun, but it would get pretty boring after a while without the RP and battlegame elements.

"Blackface" doesn't mean "black makeup on your face". Blackface is a term that refers specifically to a caricature of a someone of native african descent or "black" person, with dark skin, nappy hair and huge bright red lips to mimic a black man's appearance.

Where are the black people that have long, straight, flowing silver hair? Whose lips are thin and don't stand out at all? Whose skin is literally black and not poo-coloured?

Fuck off with your lies and bullshit, you racist piece of shit.

>Thinks that the general public cares.

White people in black face makeup will automatically be assumed to be racist by the public at large.

Checked. An ignorant public doesn't mean we should stop having our harmless fun, though. Because we are intelligent human beings, we can calmly explain to them that this is not a case of blackface for the reasons anon described.

American social enviroment must be hell.
Openly racist people literally blaming others for being racist while ignoring all facts.
To an extend where white people cant do the most basic things without other white people making up some clusterfucking fantasy shit about how using soap to wash your hands is racist/sexist because of [mental gymnastics guilt tripping reason] and therefore if you are progressive n shit you only clean yourself with fart purified donkey piss and a sponge made of fairtrade, organic corn cobs produced in africa.

Decadence must have reached its absolute peak for people actually having time and energy to waste on such retarded bullshit.

Finally got home after a 26 hours of travel, got something to eat, had a bath, slept a little and I see everyone is being a tremendous faggot here who doesn't give a shit about larping apparently.

hey happens, good to hear you got back nice. I had a "little" less travel, still shitty, would have been nice if the "storm" on saturday was 3-4 hours later. that cool breeze would have been nice while fighting (and since i was in blue and survived till the end, really useful).
Oh yeah if the flag was on your tent, we were basically neighbours^^
