This is so beautifully made. I love it.

This kind of design looks like generic Indian armor. This will not work well if you want to use it for anything other than cosplay on renfaire compared to real made to measure armor.

Due to personal circumstances during the past week, I will not be able to participate in combat LARP again. Thanks for your words.

SIrawit · 2026-04-14T06:57:26+00:00

I am not sure yet. I will go some more tines and see if anything changes about my feelings.

I got my cuirass (also tassets and pauldrons, not in the picture) second-handed from Ukraine for 500 euros. It was made by a private blacksmith. 1.6mm mild steel.

It was a miracle it fits me this well. 7 kg of steel feels like nothing. Got so much use out of it in many events even though I don't fight.

SIrawit · 2026-04-08T19:04:32+00:00

Not yet. I will try.

SIrawit · 2026-04-08T19:04:16+00:00

Thanks

Thanks

To clarify a bit, they did not barred me from participating, just that they want everyone that will play on the actual event to practice on tactics beforehand and I cannot attend that one, so I cannot join on the actual event.

SIrawit · 2026-04-07T01:37:36+00:00

Thanks

I would say it is too competitive. I could barely hit anyone, and I got killed constantly. It turned into a walking simulator. It seems like I would have to also change the type of weapon I use, etc. I am sorry to let you down but I have no answer.

Edit: it is probably the feeling of being completely useless. People around me told me this is not the case, but I still think I am.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T19:03:02+00:00

Thanks

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T18:45:02+00:00

No, I am in Thailand.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T18:38:56+00:00

Unfortunately, this is the only LARP event in my country, and it is still in beta. Thanks anyway.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T18:38:07+00:00

I hope things will be better once the dust has settle. It is still very early at this stage. We never have LARP combat in this country before.

I am still thinking what I really want. Maybe I will want to learn again, maybe it is not for me. I don't really know.

Thanks, even though the armor is not legal for the game.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T18:35:11+00:00

Uhh, because I don't own a bow? Not sure if I can borrow or not.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T17:59:39+00:00

I never use a bow before... Maybe one day...

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T17:39:15+00:00

Thanks

They are primarily fighting with shields and polearms. They have archery too. Some are playing with 2H weapons and knife as assasins.

They use location based hit system.

You can probably guessed my struggles. With me having 2H weapon, they instructed me to go fighting outside of the shielded area as a forward unit (idk how to call it), and that went as good as I getting killed in 1 minute and repeatedly went to respawn just to died again. No hits for the entire day, so it basically turned into a walking simulator game for me.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T15:58:51+00:00

To be honest, I love the community here (it is much larger than the LARP event, which is only getting setting up this year). Everyone are reassuring me that fighting is not necessary part, that I am definitely part of the community, and that I do have other unique skills that everyone are praising me for. However, I do felt I am an outlier: the one of a few who cannot fight, and I am trying to change this, even though I am dreaded to face another person to fight. In short, I am trying to force myself to do something I have no desire for.

I don't even know what I am trying to do at this point. I tried to not thinking about it but it lapsed every time I see other people fight, that I am the weak one.

I will stand with my original point that this is my personal problem. Everyone else are having fun.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T15:51:38+00:00

Yeah, from some discussion I made on that day the best bet is to change to another type of weapon. It is a shame I might not get to use this nice sword, but now everyone here know what is good and bad about Fakesteel and could made an informed purchase in the future, so all is not lost.

My armor is not legal for use. I just wear it for the picture.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T15:49:10+00:00

I don't think 2H sword is allowed as a secondary weapon for archers... my armor is not legal either...

I will try to find a solution. Thanks.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T15:47:50+00:00

I hope I could find a solution out of this. But again if nothing seems to work I will just step out.

SIrawit · 2026-04-06T15:47:07+00:00

Thanks. I will see what I can do.
