Gear need for Wolfgang on saturday

hello

I am new to this Larp thing and I was wondering if there was anybody who I could borrow a sword off and a chainmail chest thing off for this saturday. I live on the north shore.

Kins regards Luke Derrick

A Breastplate would probably suit your character too (and will probably be lighter…)

Not to be a stickler, but plate armour wasn’t around in the early 13th century, and part of the charm of Wolfgang’s is being set in an actual historical period…

… or at least as historically accurate as killing vampires can get :stuck_out_tongue:

Finding either to borrow will be hard. Most people don’t have chainmail sitting around, and if they do, they’re usually wearing it for Wolfgang’s. :smiley:

you guys are all suck sticks in the mud. asks gaffy my new friend and look forward to seeing you at the game =D

Who is Gaffy.

I believe his username is Gaffy here on Diatribe. Find him on the members list (top right corner) and send him a PM

The problem with asking Gaffy is there is only one chain haberk in the shed…and its currently at my place getting holes and splits patched (it was in quite an unwearable state last weekend, arms coming off, split neck hole etc).

I have chainmail I wouldn’t mind lending but I’m a relatively petite female…

How big is the thing of chainmail anna and does anybody have a sword I could borrow

Actually it was it was just rare as hell. Segmented plates over chain became popular towards the late end of the 13th century. So if you are playing a ritch super noble then Platetexy :wink:

Not quite. By the end of the 13th C it was single plates to protect the shins and joints. Segmented plate still had another century of development to go through, till the point breastplates etc were becoming popular amongst knights and so forth at the middle of the 14th century.

the Majewski Bible is a great pictorial reference.

Did it really and there was me thinking the romans and greeks had that one sussed. I think you mean it took nearly another century for the technology to be rediscovered. Much like the nearly 2,000 years it took to re-learn Trig. Go the dark ages!

On a slightly related note that perhaps somone further up the food chain could resolve - I was under the impression this was a pulp game and so most things (under the proviso that they look isk timelinski) would be allowed to slide?

Must not lecture on the history of trigonometry…

Ugh, trig.

Whatever armour we can scrounge up for Luke will be fine for the day game. We’re very much at the “beggars can’t be choosers” stage. Blair reckons my chain won’t fit him so any other volunteers to help a new guy are greatly appreciated.

Luke, we’ll be lend you a sword, don’t worry :slight_smile:

Thanks so much anna, as long as I have a sword i am going to be happy, even thought I have put points into armour. Everything else other than a sword will be awesome.

Hey guys.

Don’t worry about the gear as I can no longer come this Saturday because something else came up that I have to go to.

Sorry about this annoyance

Luke

Oh real? That sucks! Thats a real shame… You can’t even make one of the games?

I should be able to make the second Game. How much do I have to pay for only the second game.

you would have payed it if you payed for both
by the looks of it both me and luke will only make the second half of game
as we have had important meetings come up
