Seeking Costuming/Props
We’re looking to expand our NPC costuming and props a little, and before we invest some money, I thought I’d put the call out to you guys. Reward Points would be offered for anything donated or made (and you can PM a GM for details). Mostly we’re looking for anything that’s not size Small (we’ve got tons of too small costuming). Shirts, Pants, Tabards. Some Avyana costuming would be fantastic too (most of the other races we have covered). Props: jewelry (rings, necklaces, etc.), anything circus/carnival-ish, Silly String, fake slime/mucus, fake flowers, and squirrels (preferably purple). You think I’m kidding, but I’m not.

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
FYI, I am currently working with the ex, who now has a LARP costuming biz, to try to get 6 tabbards of black, red, white, yellow, light and dark green, light and dark blue,grey, and purple made by August. Shooting for two of each Taki/Brian(me)/Matt sized and 4 human sized. Efforts to try to get two human sized of most colors by June. will let ya know.
Planning on including wrap pants of several colors, two troll sized and two human sized in each color by august game.
also doing 6 pair of claws and 6 pairs of fists for jume too.
Unless your looking for Noble style shirts, might be best and less costly to have someone grab heavy long sleeve "henley style" shirtsor heavy long sleve t-shirts. in solid colors. They are more cost effective and sturdier in general for NPC use.
Any specific jewelry needs, because most Salvation Army stores have loads of variety at fairly low cost. Anyone grabbing rings should make sure they are adjustable or on the bigger side sice rings can be padded to make em fit smaller players.
anything circus/carnival-ish, Silly String,
fake slime/mucus( look for a local spencers or Toys R Us)
fake flowers(dollar Stores)
squirrels (preferably purple) what kind? hard plastic, realistic stuffed cloth, etc...

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
Here are some other prop/decor ideas I have seen used elsewheres:
canvas tarps painted like: cave walls/with stone castle wall patters/elemental plane patterns(fire/lava, ice, etc...)/magical or crystal structures.
I will again suggest acrylic gems, since gems make sense to be used as currency for the tech level of the world and they would be found with all the mining thats been going on. hard to find iron or and NOT find gems.

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
I'm off work next Friday for the summer. (Wahoo!!!!!) Anyway that means my time greatly frees up as of then. If one of you gentlemen will send me a list of sewing projects, I'll get started.

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
The tabards sounds fantastic, Brian.
For jewelry, really anything (necklaces, rings, gemstones, pendants, crowns, whatever). As for squirrels, lets say stuffed. And, the painted tarps is a very cool idea.
Dani, we’ll send you a list of sewing projects soon! Anything at all would be great!

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
If I have time, I'll work on some Avyana costuming for you guys. Though I might not get to it with my schedule being crammed together to give me the weekend off for the LARP. And while I can't get them done for this event as they need to be custom fitted, any NPCs that want an Avyana mask, PM me so I know how many pieces of leather to pick up and we can mold them and cut out the eye sockets either before game on or during game break.

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
I have some necklaces, bracelets, a ring, a few tiaras, two masquerade-type masks, a pair of black feather wings, a purple parasol, and two skirts I can donate - I went through my costume collection and pulled out some stuff I don't use anymore (which I've been meaning to do anyway, thanks for the motivation 
) Sound like things you can use?

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
That all sounds fantastic Jamie! Thank you! Robin, we definitely would take an Avyana mask or two!!! Whenever you're able to get around to it. No worries. They sound amazing! I'll PM you with details later this week. Thanks!

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
Alright, 2 masks there shall be. Did you need commoner or privileged Avyana costuming? I need to know so I get the right colored feathers. Or if you have preferred color schemes, tell me those instead.

Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
Ah, those details I promised...2 masks is perfect. How about one commoner, and one privileged. We'll leave the coloring up to you. We can figure out custom fitting stuff at the event. Thanks Robin!
Re: Seeking Costuming/Props
Have all your desired items been fulfilled? Are there items you still need? Could you provide an updated list?
