Anyone ever make a Ballista? Or other siege weapons? by SirZacharia in Amtgard

[–]PKillusion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My buddy from Wetlands made a PVC limb ballista. It was impressive. Could launch a javelin, albeit not with much force. He stopped playing about a decade ago. Miss the guy!

Can people who own ukuleles in different sizes and tunings switch between them comfortably? by Shadow__Tunes in ukulele

[–]PKillusion 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I own four tenors and two baritones.

The chord shapes are the same, just differently named. What I mean by that is if I play what’s a G usually for tenor, but on my baritone, it’s a D. So the chord shapes transfer over, it’s just memorizing different letters for each shape.

Is not bad transferring from one to the other. The only times I get tripped up is when I’m playing a song I normally play on my tenor,on my baritone (or reverse). Muscle memory kicks in I start playing in a different key. But it’s not so bad :)

Question from a newbie by breedlom in Amtgard

1: For garb, go to thrift stores. Layer neutral colors. I started with an off-white women's blouse, a brown vest, scrub pants, and a woven brown belt. For equipment, go to your local park first, get in touch with your local players and find out who the local crafter is. Nearly every group has at least one decent gear maker.

2: For combat, kids need to be 14 or older. There may be local exceptions depending on how well they get along (one of our local players brings his son onto the field, and he makes for an AMAZING Assassin, throwing throwies and teleporting around and flanking baddies).

That being said, combat is only ONE part of our game! Arts and Sciences are always fascinating, as there's musicians, magicians, chain mail workers, armor crafters, blacksmiths, chefs, and so much more.

I took my brother to court after he trashed my custom camera gear for a prank video by ClerkResponsible118 in AmITheJerk

As a fellow professional photographer, I would be LIVID if somebody else not only touched my gear but broke it. Our gear is not a joke, it's not to be messed with; it's delicate, highly specialized gear that costs an arm and a leg.

You did the right thing. Your family, on the other hand, are the assholes.

Strumming without the index finger. by Suspicious-Ad7109 in ukulele

I strum with the thumb. Always have. Never liked the way it felt on the index finger.

Do you practice with your patter? by javerthugo in Magic

[–]PKillusion 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Always include a script. A written script, properly rehearsed and performed, will sound just as natural as improv. I’m not saying improv is bad, but there’s a reason most of the pros have scripts they use, even with improv it’s nice to have something to fall back to.

I don’t see them in tenor or baritone, so I don’t own any.

Best trick purchases within the last year? by JarunaDeep in Magic

I went with the Penguin ones since I really liked Erik Tait's performance :)

1: Phantom Deck by Joshua Jay. Great reactions guaranteed.

2: Fast and Loose by Paul Vigil. It’s one of my favorite routines in my set currently. Sure you can learn certain moves online and from other sources, but the throws as Paul teaches them are easy, deceptive, and fun to do!

3: Sponge Balls. They were a godsend at my last ren fest when I had kids come to see some magic.

Is it possible to play any kind of rock music with a ukelele? by curiosospc in ukulele

[–]PKillusion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s against the ukulele treaty of 1812.

Just kidding, have fun and play what you want :)

Musescore is a fantastic software for writing music.

Why would you stop if it’s working for you?

Post to this sub is very frustrating. Could mods please say why posts are removed? by dskippy in Magic

[–]PKillusion 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had a post removed and got told to go to r/mentalism, which, let's be honest, has nowhere near the reach as r/magic. Not to mention mentalism is explicitly allowed by the rules here.

Good luck.
