It’s interesting to see the range of things available and how cheap some are, although I’m not sure if the risk of damage in a LARP environment may be too great for some. However, for some LARP events, it would be good to hire some items to add to the feel of the venue - buying might be inappropriate if there is little or no chance of being able to reuse or if the item is too big.
Unfortunately they are in Wellington so it may be unfeasible in Auckland. ANyone know an equivalent place up here?
