Back in Nero Central Illinois, they had a combination of tarps and 4x8 plywood boards, that stood upright thanks to simple "feet" that bolted onto the bottom. The feet had holes in them that a metal stake went through and into the ground, and the boards themselves had small holes along the sides...

Oh man! I remember seeing a teaser for that a while ago, and then completely forgot about it. I can't wait!

Ugh, I just re-watched it because I thought perhaps people were just making assumptions of **** based on the bad guys attacking the female lead. However, I just caught the "Let's f*** this b****." during the scene in question. Like Dreamingfurther said, (SPOILERS!) that does NOT actually occur...

"Wild Hunt" Many of the initial impressions seem quite positive, even from (supposed) larpers, and has won a couple awards in Canada However, the creators decided to take a more "slasher film" tone for the trailer, and I'm finding it a tad, well, disturbing...

Speaking of youtube videos that might actually promote larping, I remember seeing this advertisement for latex swords last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuTM_MmUlnY Sure, the combat is choreographed and totally unsafe for this game, but it's still a video, a "commercial" no less, of...

Sigh...You're right, of course. I work midnights, and when I saw this on their forum, I was simply struck with how silly it is and felt the need to tell SOMEONE. Ever since Joe threatened to sue a close friend of mine, I've been kind of bitter about it. In fact, when we were at Southeast...

Hey, I haven't posted anything in a while, but I just ran across something funny (Read: Sad and ridiculous) on the Nero boards. Here's the post by "Jclarke" (copy/pasted), titled "Possible Site Hack?" http://www.nerolarp.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1228 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Front page Wasn't...

Actually, I was putting it into my avatar, not my signature...Doh! Hurray! It works!

Hmm, every time that I try to paste in the link from tektek, it says "The URL you specified is invalid." :-(

Hey, for those few who haven't seen the Darkon documentary yet (It came out a couple years ago, actually), it's now playing on Hulu at http://www.hulu.com/watch/68489/darkon I've seen this documentary a couple times, I just have to say that I believe it to be very well done. It doesn't try to...

Thanks for the great info, man! Once this rediculously busy month is over, I'll find some time to try it out. Also, I recently read in some larp forum a suggestiom that involved heating the foam with water, and then forming it around an object. I was also thinking about using a spray foam...

Huh, interesting information in this thread. I was not aware that repeated exposure to latex could cause a previously non-existant allergy to develop. Or, that coming into contact with it several times over a period of time can cause the allergic reaction to worsen. I know that latex weapons...

As somone who has built a couple of curved fiberglass shields, I gotta say that I love 'em! That little bit of wrap-around works wonders for protection, and curved shields are immediately more pleasing to the eye, in my opinion. But fiberglass involves a whole lot of fumes and other things that...

12. Just remember, you are always allowed to say, "No, I DON'T think that's a good idea." Regardless of what the entire town is marching off to do, you don't have to go along. Besides, they'll probably need NPC's! 13. A smiling NPC is rarely a good thing. Also, I'd just like to reiterate...

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... D=52599701 This is another video from that same latex weapon company. And I'm not gonna lie, I enjoyed the HECK out of it! In fact, it's probably the best "commercial" for larping that I've ever seen, even though it was entirely about selling the...

Cool, I don't suppose you or Ogunshi could elaborate on the subject of different mindsets, could you? Is it that the large Euro larps have more of "faire atmosphere" like attending an SCA event, where the focus is showing off your character and enjoying a more short-term, collaborative...

I would like to start a discussion about the differences between European and American larps. Having only played the latter, I would greatly appreciate the input of anyone with experience in Euro larps, or even just thoughts, theories, or opinions. Here's the basic run-down: European medieval...

Excellent! I've often wondered about the differences in mind-sets, presentation, and gameplay between European and American larps, and I would appreciate it if I could pick your brain on the subject. Or for that matter, talk to anyone who may have any insight on the apparent discrepencies...

I don't know what it's like where you are, but the last time I tried to explain to my 1st Sergeant what I did over the weekends, well, let's just say that it didn't go too well. Stating the negatives of latex weapons is NOT, "placing a (stigma) on latex weapons almost as bad or worse then what a...

I believe that the Calimacil weapons were mentioned earlier, but their website http://www.calimacil.com/technique.htm explains what makes their weapons different, going into some very explicit detail. Long story short, the blades have no covering, either latex, cloth, duct tape, or other. The...
