It looks good to me but I don't have it in hand so I cant judge it.

Here's a guideline for making a basic boffer weapon.

I had an awesome time at the event. I don't usually go on a lot of plots that have to do with the main storyline but this event I found myself out doing those things. I had a blast going out and getting the Demon Slayer sword. I liked the teamwork elements that were required like hitting the monster...

If you are referring to Quality Armor than you cannot use Survivalist to lower the upkeep of the locations. They require coin to upkeep and not commodities so the skill would not function according to the wording.

I feel as though retiring a character and bringing another character with any kind of advantage (Levels, Character Points, Items, etc...) is not good. If a player decides to do a bunch of PVP things and then retire it's not fair because there would be no repercussions. er;; o, pgg yjr npstfd gpt s e...

Well to be honest you are allowed to re-write your character after your first event. With Perks and Advanced Abilities you have been to at least 10 events so you should have a good enough grasp on what abilities work in what ways. There is already a mechanic for changing disciplines. It is done by u...

I feel as though cash and effort should be rewarded equally. Along with craftsmanship. Suppose someone doesn't have the time to sit around all day and make props. Why can't they just donate to the game itself gaining these same advantages. To be honest when someone donates to the game everyone wins....

If Wizards/Alchemists sucked than nobody would be playing them right now. There are plenty of potions going onto the field now...Just as many as there were before. You no longer have to be rich and spend mystic to get the good potions. I feel as though the Wizard Path is good but the Arcane discipli...

So this is just a rough draft...Constructive suggestions are welcome. If anyone thinks that some of the point values should be modifies please post what you think they should be.

What if a PC chooses to donate a bunch of weapons at FH and then get a free event at WH or vice versa? It's not fair to the people running those games. That is why it is best to keep points seperate. A limit to how many points can be spent is definately important. It prevents people from abusing the...

I can see Heidi's concern when it comes to using money and points to get an edge over other players by abusing a system. NERO has been doing this for years and have but some restrictions in place to help prevent it. What they do is only allow you to spend 1 "Blanket" of points per event. I...

You can't shield bash or swat in SCA combat. Belgrath, KANAR and Dagohir are the only widely played games that allow shield attacks that I know of. They also tend to be on the high end of physical combat games. NERO does not even allow the use of real arrows...actually many LARP feel as though they ...

Same here. I like the idea of allowing shield bashing from a player stand point because it is awesome....but the rational part of my brain just doesn't feel it would work.

If you are gonna have shield bashing you need to have much more stringent rules on shields. Also there is Josh's point about people getting knocked around. Would you let someone shove another person to the ground? Are you OK with eliminating the charging rules? These are things that need to be consi...
