I chose “Other”.
We have plenty of medieval/fantasy gear, it makes up the bulk of our gear.
Our greatest immediate need is more plastic boxes so we can store the gear that is still in my shed. It’s mainly loose stuff, and needs to be stored in boxes to prevent damage.
I like the idea about electric candles, they would get a lot of use.
In terms of costumes, it depends on what games are being run, and whether they are nzLARP projects or not.
While affiliates are welcome to borrow gear from our library, nzLARPS typically purchases gear that it considers will be useful for nzLARPS projects.
Consider the list of active games at present:
Nightmare Circle, early 20th Century (affiliate)
Serenity, scifi western (affiliate)
St Wolfgangs, medieval (nzLARPS)
Multiverse, fantasy (nzLARPS)
Knightshade, fantasy (nzLARPS)
The mix of nzLARPS projects would suggest that most of our purchases would be in the vein of fantasy/medieval. As we develop projects that overlap gear requirements with our affiliates, I am sure that our gear library will begin to reflect more modern settings.
