http://www.fakecrap.com/pulling-trick-p/1120.htm These are just about the easiest and cheapest traps I can imagine.Perfect for trip wires, chests, doors, or anything. VERY loud. http://www.milsimlabs.com/parts.htm At the top of the page are essentially pressure traps. Load a cap gun cap into...

Wow, I haven't been here in a while. Anyhoo, ChrioLA posted a fantastic tutorial a couple years back, apparently from the same Wynar gentleman, right here on these very boards. http://www.alliancelarp.com/forum/viewt ... x+tutorial I DESPERATELY want to use his techniques to make some weapons...

Same problems I had. The hardest part of making a flat-bladed boffer, in my opinion, was getting the angled "edge" just right. I bought one of those hot-wire foam cutting boards for (I think) $30 from Hobby Lobby: But I realized that I would need to clamp on some guide-boards to keep the...

So, I was over at a friend-of-a-friend's house, and they had these interesting looking place mats: As far as I can tell, they're just flat, wooden "beads" with two strings going through each one. The question is, if you could find beading thread strong enough, maybe double-triple up on it...

I would certainly like this more than the current system of purchasing magical items outright with gobbies. I'd like it even better they still had to find the scrolls in-game. I'll readily admit to having a bias against gobbie-purchased components, as well. From my experiences at Kzoo, it...

I'm seeing a lot of great ideas and view points in this thread, and after having read through it a couple times, I believe that the coin economy, production economy, magic item economy, and gobbie economy are all very much interconnected. That may sound obvious to some, but I believe there are...

Regarding armor, it seems to me that the concern is wanting to ensure repeat business for blacksmiths without having to deal with the headache of armor values changing every time they're breached mid-game, making your armor fairly useless in short order unless you render it. Back in Nero Int'l...

PC'ing all weekend sounds great. I just remember having started Nero as a dedicated NPC, and how much fun I had doing that. And here comes more questions! Basically, I just want to know what we're allowed to start with in terms of weapons, armor, arrows/bolts, money, etc. In the old game, you...

Alright, without starting a new thread, I'd really appreciate some suggestions for my costume. The base of it is a Victorian-esque double-breasted waistcoat that a friend made for me. Sorry for the weird smile, I was feeling a little silly when she took my picture. I hadn't even sewn on the...

A long time ago I made a large stencil for making skeleton shirts for monster camp, and they turned out really well. Unfortunately, it wasn't as streamlined as I had hoped. Now, I have a friend who's interested in possibly building a basic silk screening set-up, and I was wondering, what types...

Hey there, I'm the other half of this intrepid duo, and I had a couple of questions as well. First off, how exactly is lock picking handled in Michigan? Here in Illinois it is illegal to own lock picks without a license. Which means that we've never actually experienced Nero or Alliance lock...

Cool, thanks a lot. I went ahead and ordered what the website referred to as 14 gauge Standard, 12 gauge American. I don't know why "The Ring Lord" figures their gauges differently, but I appreciate the clarification.

Silly question, what exactly is that made out of?

Re: Combat shovel :-( I thought you started with 20 build, guess I'm still getting confused with Nero. But thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate it. My buddy and I are having a workshop day this afternoon, hoping to figure out my bracers. Bah! Magic gets way too much attention...

Hey, I'm sure there are people out there that use shovels as weapons, but I don't think that I've seen any pictures of them. Here's a shovel that I made about a year ago, and plan on using for my first Alliance event (Previously a Nero player): EDIT: Stupid Photobucket! No matter how I resize...

Brilliant! I actually spent Friday evening with a friend, surrounded by foam and duct tape trying to plan out a heavy crossbow with magazine system! I built one a couple years ago for Nero Int'l, but it used vinyl-covered party cups that dropped through the rear of the stock and hung through the...

Ah, so the rulebook is referring to American standard, then? I should have explained better in my original post, but I was typing on my phone last night. The site for chainmail rings lists both Standard and American gauges, and I would like to use the 14 gauge, 5/8" inner diameter necessary to...

I'm ordering chainmail rings from theringlord.com, and it has rings listed in both American Wire Gauge and Standard Wire Gauge. One is always thicker, and knowing the difference might save me a bundle of money. Just need to know which standard the armor requirements adhere to. Thanks.

Woot! I'm probably going to start a new post or two as soon as it goes up! Thanks everyone!

That....that's just awesome. Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing. Makes me kind of wonder why there isn't a costuming board for sharing ideas like this.
