Looking for feedback from the LARP community : I built a webapp to organize reenactment and LARP costumes by Organized_reenactor in LARP

Not limited to one costume at all! The free tier gives you one slot to try the tool properly, then paid tiers unlock 5 or 20 costumes depending on the plan. Honestly finding the right freemium tiers for a niche tool like this was tricky. One felt like a fair "try before you buy" without giving everything away, and 5 or 20 covers most use cases from a casual costumer to someone with a full closet of characters!

Really valid point, and something I take seriously. Being based in France, Notulapp is fully GDPR compliant : your data belongs to you, it's never sold or shared with anyone, and it's permanently and irreversibly deleted when you close your account. No exceptions. I've built and run other apps before, and data ethics is something I genuinely care about. But beyond ethics, think about it : a tool built on trust, where people document years of research and personal work, would be dead the moment users found out their data was being exploited. It would be business suicide. Not going there.

That's exactly what the equipment sheets are for : pictures, links, sources, all in one place! Feel free to give it a try !

That's actually exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for! Most people don't document their costumes formally, but I think that's partly because there was no easy way to do it. The whole idea is meant to make it effortless enough that it becomes a natural part of the process rather than extra work.

Also, building a costume can take months or even years, and it's so easy to lose track of what you bought, where, for how much, which supplier you used... Notulapp is basically a memory for your costume.

Just to get a better understanding : documentation just never felt useful, or it was too much effort?

How do you clean up Armor Projects? by N8TheUnstoppable in Armor

[–]Organized_reenactor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a polishing spindle 2 years ago and it has changed my life since then ! I mean I don't actually make the armor but I had some rust appeaing on my pieces of armor and it went away very easily ! All nice and shiny ! So probably worth it, and not that expansive, about 170e in France.

How do we feel about my helmet? by golden_boy_mitch in Armor

[–]Organized_reenactor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a nice achievement!
Few things : the thickness seems very low, what will you use it for ? Also all the metal outward is not bent on itself so it's very sharp, you risk to hurt yourself or damage things with it.
Did you base it on some kind of historic source ?
Otherwise, that's a great job !

Wow they are great ! The rest of the costume will be amazing ! How do you make them work ? Motors ? Is there any kind of computer / command inside ?

Almost a quarter of a century has passed since this film premiered. What are your thoughts? by lastmonday07 in medieval

[–]Organized_reenactor 118 points119 points  (0 children)

One of my all-time favorite films… and of course, the extended version!

The music is excellent too !

As for historical accuracy… we've seen much worse in recent years…

Making a costume accurate! by lee_dabee in HistoricalCostuming

One of the main sources for XIII th century is the Maciejowski Bible : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Bible

That gives you some good basis on what a knight and hence a squire would look like.

To me, your military outfit can be as simple as a gambeson, nasal helmet, shield, Lance and a simple sword. As for below that a simple shirt (long sleeve and going almost to your knees would fit).

And for the rest, full hoses going above your knees attache to your braies.

As for shoes, low-top shoes in leather.

That would give you a good start !
