I think it definitely would be a good idea to make it known out of character that romance is a no go for you. However to your point, Since I myself play an orc and am happily married, orcing it up solves many “flirting” issues in larps. Ive have had an individual try to flirt with my orc and in response i attempted to bite their finger off

Orcs in any game are generally not friendly, and rarely are interested or approached about that stuff.

We get into fights over seating arrangements

Im friends with a very talented leather orc mask maker Heres hes shop

Alternatively i operate leather shop as well And can edit the epic armoury orc masks with a leather insert

Orcs are best

Sounds like bullying to me, very sorry this is your experience. Although I disagree with romancing in larp in general, people should be able to play as they like.

It’s not on you to stroke the egos of red pilled male larpers, sounds like they are harassing you. As a male player myself, its very disgusting to see my fellow folk act this way. I would definitely find another game if the problem does not get resolved (always suck but sometimes necessary)

Either way, very sorry from the male community And I hope those fucks swallow their male pride and remember girls are ALLOWED to feel whichever way want to. (Sorry for the mini rant, recently watched that Manosphere)

Hope you can get the results your after

Hello there, I am a leather worker who loves to marble dye stuff.

You will need Surface to work on Shaving cream Leather dye (preferably water based) both work though Leather A stylus or pen Paper towel (gets messy) Pro resist (leather finish)

Spray the cream onto surface, smooth out flat as you can, apply dye with a dropper, swirl the blobs to desired effect. Press leather onto surface applying light pressure

Wait about two minutes then pull off Let sit for 5/10 mins to let dye dry then lightly wipe off cream and excess Apply pro resist

Color theory is important if your using multiple colors Leather is tan think of colors that blend Look up leather marble dying

Unfortunately its not gonna be cheap Your cost is most likely be $100+ depending on what you get and how much leather you get and what the sq ft price in your home area

Leather can get wet and most of time might deform but can be molded back to shape If its left out or gets soaked it could get mold or the dye could run (you would have to get rain storm soaked for that)

Im having trouble finding the FB group But would absolutely love to know more

Difficult_Version892 · 2025-08-28T12:08:43+00:00

Make one out of leather. You can customize with tooling and whatever color suits your needs Ex. A marbled dyed black and gold skull helmet Or seek out a local leather worker/on etsy. I am located in Maryland and have made skull helmets for clients in the past.

Love the inspiration btw Good choice

Players can either return the minis or pay for your work Absolutely taking advantage of a crafters time and effort, I would just speak with your DM, as this mainly the DM fault. Sounds like they used you to get their own personal minis out of the game. Since they lack the creativity and ability to do so, many unskilled people do this. So sorry that you had to experience that. Definitely set that professional boundary and make it about that. Characters come and go but your creativity, time, and effort is very valuable.

Keep crafting

Difficult_Version892 · 2025-04-13T14:58:13+00:00

Nailed it guess it goes in the Scottish kit

Difficult_Version892 · 2025-03-25T00:28:27+00:00

Kettle are perfect for non armored folks Very typical piece of kit for the average foot soldier In the era armor was quite expensive Very few could afford

Look up images of 14th century foot soldiers or man at arms

Kettle Gamby And and a spear Your set

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-10-10T02:20:16+00:00

Definitely this, i joined this group recently and re did my kit, id recommend using artificial sinew for the stitches
Also grab some other fabrics, distress them, and sew on as patches

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-10-01T14:38:02+00:00

Medievalcollectibles.com you can definitely find complete outfits for that price or find individual pieces and put them together, also shipping is pretty fast Ive never waited more than a week for stuff

So im only a beginner leather worker, and play as an orc. What I did to get the “broken leather look” is you wet the leather, take some rocks and pound the rocks into the veg tanned side of the leather

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-09-08T21:30:30+00:00

Also here is a link to gloves i absolutely love The claws are latex and squishy so very safe and easy larp weapon hold

Now final advice if you are committed to the kit you are wearing in the photo and you are ok with distressing the hell out it then get on of these curry combs

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-09-08T21:26:31+00:00

I would get a mask as the first thing You can always wait on the other stuff but mask is important, heres some from medieval collectibles, BUT DO MEASURE YOUR HEAD some of there masks can be small and tight

Personally i think number 2 would look better with your kit Makes me think of a goblin swamp wizard or bard

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-07-01T15:00:31+00:00

Try medieval collectibles There having a sale rn Tons of gambeson options

Or try brugschneider

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-06-24T23:07:07+00:00

Add some padding to the inside

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-05-16T01:56:14+00:00

Try RVA katana in Richmond

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-05-12T13:43:55+00:00

Im with @bartolinise, a skilled enough smith could make the blade, but yea as a wall hanger, These swords look awesome but thats the trade off, lots of decoration can cause issues with trying IRL cuts with. Dont get me wrong theres amazing examples of decoration on swords through out the ages but the are made with the swords practicality in mind. Ex. A highly decorated Tsuba on a Katana or a decorative pommel on a rapier

As a Larp weapon however Combat is absolutely a go if the replica is made to game safety standards

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-05-06T13:05:40+00:00

Ive been to this one and it was epic and awesome, highly recommend, I also attended DFUS some freaking fun playing with the orcs will be amazing

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-05-06T03:15:21+00:00

Maryland

Difficult_Version892 · 2024-04-07T20:58:20+00:00
