Get yer garb on

Postby Baernoir » Fri Dec 28, 2012 3:05 pm

My fellow Amtgarders, I have been encouraged to encourage all of Crimson Wood to make/have more garb. There is no excuse why anyone who has been playing for a while should be limited to a tabard and class sashes. Now I'm not much better off myself; having focused on weapons more than much else. But this is the chance for us all to change this. Thus I will be holding Arts and Science nights after Amtgard every week. :shock: Unfortunately I now live in Petaluma, but really it's only 15 minute drive and rides can be arranged. For directions sake: 609 Nikki Dr. just off of North McDowell. These will be much like the Barbarian house meetings me and Stone put on but please bring materials yourself (but I might have some things you forgot). Don't be surprised if there is food and drinking involved (the best way to get anything done :D )Also I will help you make other stuff like weapons, sashes, whatever Amtgard related things you'd like to work on while hanging out with friends. Don't put it off folks reigns can pass by rather quickly.
So please let me know if you will be showing up, but go ahead and show if you forget to inform me as I will be working on garb/other projects myself anyway.

One day started with Thistledown and Myself, garbed. I had my piratey coat and hat, tossed them at Caitlin. Someone else showed up, garb-light.

Then a few people wondering by joined. Then a few more. We had a lot of people on the field, some of us well garbed.

The other LARP meeting that day, had no garb. None.

We got the walkups joining. I was talking to one gentleman taking photos, and while I couldn't get him to join in the fun, he pointed out something interesting, that we seems the more official LARP.

That's the power of garb. Transforms a bunch of geeks acting silly to an official looking gaming group / social club.

Thank you for the offer Lady T we apreceate it. The point of my request to Baer was to get our members to make new garb for themselves. We have loaner garb and it gets way to much use from people who have been playing too long. The winter days often get rained out and I thought it would be a good opportunity for impromptu A+S days, CW hangout outside of the rain and a chance to improove the general quality of garb on the field and for recruiting.

All of that said I will be attending A+S days as I have been playing too long to have as many made or found garb pieces as I do. Its time I make some new stuff too.
