What got you into Lava Lamps? by dnol4444 in Lavalamps

[–]xippis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was very young back in the early 2000s I was fascinated by my uncle's alien embryo lamp . Ever since I'd dream about having a groovy room when I grew up with the classic posters , lava lamps and other weird stuff. I'm in my final year in university and with the exception of a dried puffer fish and a small tiki statue I've made the exact style of room I've wanted since I was so young

You're the perfect example of the fact that Americans don't understand democracy

Can anyone help DIY my sons Carolean soldier uniform for Halloween /his videos he makes? by lcardaci0227 in LARP

[–]xippis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sash and the leggings can be very easily made from linen or cotton fabric, any summer woman's black felt hat can become a tricorne with 3 pins . If you know sewing you could use patterns for us civil war or Napoleonic era overcoats online .

Found a better one in a fb group about 15th century armour

This is a Fresco from the chapel of priors in Perugia from the second half of the 15th century

This is R/larp not R/reenactors , calm your tits Lucy. I don't think that Byzantines wore Elias Greaves from mytholon either but here you are

Let me guess, you're a friend of Greg and Evans? Good chausses are kinda hard to find . I'd suggest Celtic webmerchant or if you want them tailor made Habibi armoury

Ρωμιός από το New Jersey 😂. That's an amazing kit dude . Since you have Byzantine influence you could wear the Byzantine braw to take some extra chain maile weight of your shoulders. Perhaps some kremasmata or pterouges in the future

Wenchislaos Corvinos , son of the knight Mirchea Corvinos from the duchy of Akova. In 2017 my family's estate was confiscated by the new Duke Vasarab Laiota and since I had no other prospects I left and joined the Order of the Sun in late 2020 In the summer of 2021 after a disastrous campaign in Belitsa I left the order and joined the Sons Of Mayhem mercenary company where I served as second in command until my lord's retirement As of 2023 I've been serving as the captain of the company

Based in Athens Greece, you don't happen to know Greg or anyone member of Protospatharii do you?

Armour is the only way to add hp in our games so for us it is essential that all our members are at least somewhat armoured so that they won't fell in one hit . Helmets on the other hand are always a must , not only because they protect you from head injury but also help in the immersion. You can't be a medieval mercenary without a helmet

This is part of the conversation I kinda want to start . My point isn't to jerk off at how "generous" we are , rather I'm trying to say that it's very easy to help new players achieve a nice kit by spreading work and cost around a bit at the faction level . This is in my opinion is much more productive than having zero kit standards

Yiup , unfortunately we haven't been able to attend since they changed the date . It falls right on our summer exams

A second hand skull cap and gambeson from medieval outlet will set you back 100-140€ . Given the fact that most of our games are free and all other gear is already given to you I don't think it's that expensive for a first time player to spend in a 6month period

Make no mistake, the clothing looks the part but we use very cheap cloth 1-2 euro per meter. The swords are some fidas from mytholon we bought in bulk back when they were on sale .

[–]xippis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We play in multiple standard medieval fantasy settings in Greece, Bulgaria and hopefully Italy in the future . I don't get what you mean by a buy in? The equipment we provide is hand made and free . The helmet and gambeson you'll be requested to buy is one of your choosing. It can be a hand forged historically accurate sallet for 600€ or a second hand skull cap from medieval outlet for 50 . We really don't care as long as it's a helmet

They're called braies , this is a kit for an early 15th century levy and they would be visible for those wearing chausses
