I’ll be making an order on 31 August 2012, which is the Friday after Chimera. I don’t usually let people know so early, but my range of gear has expanded so I want to give people a chance to look it over.
[size=130]Epic Armoury[/size]
I’m now supplying the Epic Armoury range of larp gear. You can download the Epic Armoury Catalogue 2012. Note that it’s an 80MB PDF, which is a large file. I also have print catalogues available. I’ve shown the print catalogues off at sword & shield practice and given it out to some people already so you may see them around. I’ll also have the print catalogues at Chimera for people to look through. If you think you’re likely to want a few items, drop me an email and I’ll see about getting you a copy of the print catalogue.
The Epic Armoury range is very wide. It includes extra-long weapons, axes, shields, costumes, fantasy prosthetics, armour and cool adventuring kit like leather bottle holders. They also have a brand called Dark Moon with modern and futuristic weaponry, and a low-price range called Ready for Battle. Check out this size guide to help find your size in Epic Armoury gear based on your measurements.
[size=130]Forgotten Dreams[/size]
I can also now offer some gear from Forgotten Dreams in Germany. You can check them out at http://www.forgottendreams.de, so if you’re interested let me know and we can discuss which items I’ll have available.
[size=130]Palnatoke and IDV[/size]
I’m continuing to supply gear from Palnatoke, the latex weapon and leatherwork supplier I’ve been using for years now, and from IDV, who supply larp archery equipment. That will include crossbows and larp bolts, which I’ll be showing off brochures for at Chimera. All NZ prices for these suppliers’ items are on my website at www.paddywhack.co.nz
[size=130]Pricing[/size]
For this order, you can work out my NZ prices for the new gear using the following multipliers on the Euro prices listed by the suppliers, and rounding to the nearest dollar.
General price: multiply the Euro prices by 1.6 to get the retail prices in NZ dollars.
NZLARPS member price: multiply the Euro prices by 1.28 to get the NZLARPS member discount price (with the 20% discount).
The NZLARPS discount does not apply to steel armour. I can’t afford to do that, because steel is heavy and that increases shipping costs. However, the discount does apply to aluminium chain armour.
[size=130]Making an order[/size]
If you’d like some gear drop me an email at ryanpaddywhack@gmail.com before 31 August 2012, and I’ll let you know whether the items you want are currently available. That’s a month away, so there is no hurry.
I will also be taking orders in person at Chimera, where I’ll have a stand up during the Meet and Greet on the Friday and in the lunch and dinner breaks over the weekend. I’ll have some samples from Epic Armoury there, so you can see them in person, along with the print catalogue.
This order will arrive before Teonn on 30 Nov 2012.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Ryan
