that's the undead faction's symbol in that game. And while in Germany warhammer fantasy is very popular and lots of times people draw inspiration from it it's still not the same as cosplaying a character from warhammer fantasy.

Also, nowdays everyone puts purity seals on everything.

But yeah some of the games are english friendly

Does anyone play music at these things? Like, does anyone just show up with a fiddle and play as a travelling bard or something?

>>50649467
Hell yeah man, I know at a lot of events I go to music is a pretty big part of group life.
From bards doing musical performances, writing poems about rulers and heroes, and performing plays involving (not politcally rose-tinted) events from earlier LARPs or IC History.

Most of the time bards are pro-patron, so the richer you are the more you have people running around spreading your (musical) propaganda.

Post-ap LARP i was at recently had the following:
An (intentionally) terrible dance-band troupe.
A guy with a fully functioning Hurdy gurdy / machinegun combination. He could play it pretty well too.
A group of stranded german mercenaries hosting a short opera about the history of their homeland.
And a guy hosting and DJ-ing synth-raves at the abandoned mining plant that marked the center of the in game settlement.

>>50649557
At my post-apoc larp, we had a guy who threw forest raves every mid-summer
He'd track in all these awesome props and his table and throw a great party. Often hilarious as bandits/monsters would end up raiding the party because of a feud with one of the story team

kettle hats are the stereotypical helmet for this

>>50658103
Yeah that's what I'm leaning to as of now, a kettle hat with a simple steel mask to protect the face.

30KB, 500x300px

>>50658112
for militamen you don't need face protection really. If you are a town guard you need clear vision way more than face protection because you aren't going into a war but you want to uphold the peace and law.

Generally every open helmet is good for this but kettle hats are the stereotype as I said.

If you really want some kind of face protection then there are bevors and buffes.
Bevors aren't a complete face protection, they are mostly guards the neck and lower jaw and if your tilt your head forward then maybe more (and if you have a wide brimmed helmet then the two protects nearly everything while still giving you clear vision and breathing space)

>>50658146
Yeah as of now I was thinking a bevor and just giving them some kind of scarf that usually covers the face, making generic spooky intimidating fightman so the only part of the face you can see is the eyes.

82KB, 638x960px

>>50658146
the buffe/falling buffe is basically a later bevor. Bevors kind of went out of fashion around late 15th and buffes started to get into fashion.
(the previous pic >>50658146 shows a very bevor, you could argue that it's a buffe. Basically it's a transitional piece)

Buffes go higher but you can "open it down" when it isn't needed and when closed it can give nearly full coverage, depending on a few factors, your milage may vary. example here >>50657917 and on pic

>>50658182
technically speaking scarf around the face and fighting doesn't go along very well. Breathing is way more important than to look spooky. Then again in a fantasy RPG and in novels you can handwave it away and noone would care. If you want it for larp purpose then you better of ditching it.

Also if you want spooky factor then chainmail over the face with a kettle hat can work too

Good thing they're already dead then.

>Also if you want spooky factor then chainmail over the face with a kettle hat can work too
Yeah that's what I've got as of now, the main thing is that it's based off Creighton's Steel Mask but I can't get a design I like that looks distinct enough to not look like a blatant ripoff.
I guess I could just copy it since it's a pretty basic looking helmet anyway.

I've gotten a design I like and feel is different enough to not be a direct ripoff. But now I gotta ask since this seems to be the right place for historical armor- exposed rivets or no? It's meant to be a somewhat cheap piece of armor.

Git out old-timer, kettle-helmets are the shit.

Will larping ever attract non-white people in any significant number?

>>50665043
Probably nowhere in the near future, at the very least. Larping, like other roleplaying games, is about the whitest hobby you will find as of now. Most people get into larping because of being introduced by a friend, so it kind of keeps itself in place.

That's as much as I'm willing to say on the subject, because we all know what this topic will eventually turn into if given too much attention.

>>50665043
why do you care so much about other people's color?

>>50665187
Because I'm unabashedly racist. Everything around me that has been touched by "black people who aren't trying to act white" has turned to shit, and I don't want larping to become even more shit than it already is by virtue of being in the US. I've been living in an inner city area for 25 years and I've watching it happen to practically everything around me.

So yes, having larping be the sole province of white people (and asians, I haven't meet many but the ones I have have been generally cool) means that it's unlikely to completely and irrevocably go down the tubes the way the schools, housing, infrastructure, local government, stores, and social services in my area have.
