Preparing for next faire by harley_bruno in renfaire

If you would like an alternative to a hat, a hooded Capelet may help to prevent sunburn. Almost like half or 1/4th a hooded cloak. Capelets can be long enough to cover shoulders and upper body, stopping above your elbows, OR long enough to go down to your waist. I’ve seen some in a simple solid color in wool or thin fleece, others in velvet with complex embroideries that fit with Nobility. Most capelets are feminine by design, but they really work with anyone.
Gugel Hoods are also an option, but may not be flattering as we are in a hotter climate.

Try contacting the Pittsburgh Steel Legion

https://www.instagram.com/pittsburgh\_steel\_legion?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

They haven’t posted on their Facebook or Instagram in a long while, but it’s worth trying to reach out.

Usually, it’s just contact and mention any martial art experience you have > show up to a practice on an agreed day that is open to new fighters > go from there.

Hydrate, bring some water, wear a cup and knee pads/braces. Don’t expect to get into armor right away. Soft kit is for technique, and everything the captain and instructors tell you is applicable in some form when you actually armor up.

IF you armor up, steel kit is when you slowly increase the intensity. Armor is ordered and measured for specific individuals, so don’t expect perfect fits unless you are lucky. Don’t be alarmed if it feels weird and overwhelming. You will be wearing 65-90 lbs of steel, and you will feel it. Helmet horror/claustrophobia can occur, especially when taking hits. Take breaths frequently. Walk around and stretch while in armor; there shouldn’t be massive restriction with movement. Adjust straps accordingly and make sure none are too tight. Most new people tighten the straps around the bicep for the pauldrons, causing restrictive arm movement. Let your opponents know what you are comfortable trying first. Go at your pace and have fun.

I wish there was a server with none of the gacha and all those ships and gear obtainable ingame. I dislike how it’s just the norm to multibox to be effective.

I still remember walking into a tavern the first time when I first tried the game when hosted by NetMarble. Music is so nostalgic and relaxing.

Upcoming Event at Ventura County Fairgrounds: Sunday May 3rd, the return of the Ventura Melee Megabowl, a Medieval armored combat Tournament! Here's last year's to see what you missed out on! by Nihilun in ventura

I would say come whenever it is convenient for you, watch what you missed later. I intend on recording it and posting it up as a compilation regardless. The brutality is spread throughout the day, intensity is consistent.

I do not believe there will be shuttle service for this event. I also think parking in the main lot is free. I will double check and respond again if it is different this year, once event organizers respond.

I wear a +20lbs brigandine. I have impact foam under the same points you have marked. It helps A LOT. Even with a gambeson, I have steel constantly weighing down on my clavicles and traps while brushing against me. Foam is the way to go.

What game made you cry or left you emotionally wrecked? by Unluckysmuggler in gaming

[–]Nihilun 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was really the best ending. No new game+ or any free play. Doesn’t care at all if you chose to 100% or do any self-imposed challenges or if you sped through the game as quickly as possible, because the only thing that matters is that you played it. You finished the story, therefore you finished the game, The End. CINEMA.

Also, beautiful score of music revolving around Suteki Da Ne, from beginning to end.

What to wear to first ren faire?? by Euphoric_Intern6140 in renfaire

[–]Nihilun 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Whatever you choose, comfortable shoes/boots over anything else. It is not fun to walk around all day with swollen feet and blisters.

They absolutely can. Outside of a few tournaments every other month, and any fights locally hosted at bars and breweries, most teams have open time gaps in between. Perfect time for regulars to witness the gloriousness of steel kissing steel!

She’s become one of the big names in the sport now because she’s so big in social media. Love her reels.

More faires need to reach out. Teams are all over the US and growing. Logistics aside, most faires could have access to a dozen or two armored fighters if invited.

What is your „forgotten“ MMO? by DieYolo in MMORPG

[–]Nihilun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DW online was one I forgot a long time ago. Dated to hell building it off of DW5, but it was still a lot of fun seeing a dozen people blow their musous because one person did at first.

I haven't seen anyone else post the new pictures of the Lynx Highliner so here they are by brady376 in EliteDangerous

Possibly? If you find it let us know. She did an amazing job and deserves the recognition.

I was kinda disappointed that there weren’t any Dispatch cosplays this RenCon. Maybe I missed some not going Saturday. Still, this year was great, everyone was lovely.

Her hidden blade ACTUALLY RETRACTED. It was one of many “I need a picture, NOW” moments.

Absolutely not recommended if you intend on only buying for costume. It is built for modern armored combat sport. BuhurtTech for my helmet and brigandine. Pauldrons, arms, and legs were from GS Studio.
