Hey

Thnaks for the help I was fortunate enoguh to fing someone who has a kilt I could borrow for my first event, I have one ordered but it wont arrive until after the August event. But thanks for the advice on slowly making a costume, that makes a lot more sense. I was in a hurry to try and create a good costume but I think i'll follow your advice and asseble it gradually

The sweats will be fine.  In fact, they would be even better if you simply cut the elastic from the bottom of the legs.  I did the same thing my first event 7 years ago.  Just a pair of black sweatpants, bottoms cut off, and a "goth shirt" i bought on sale at Hot Topic for $8.  Now, you can see I've progressed into a much different outfit.

Also, to give you a heads up, I make inexpensive "hybrid" weapons.  They are lightweight, and built to look and resemble the higher end latex weapons, but they are constructed with duct tape, much like your sterotypical boffer weapon.  If you see me at the game, feel free to pull me aside and talk to me.  I've made roughly 2 dozen different players' weapons.  It's an inexpensive way for you to have a nice looking weapon until you manage to spring enouhg for one of the nice looking latex ones.

As a quick note - NO LOGOS.  There's a running saying at KR - "Just because you bought it at Hot Topic does NOT mean it's acceptable to wear at Knight Realms."

Things that are blatantly modern - especially anything with a logo or brand on it - are right out.  Celts (or goblins, or undead) don't wear Metallica shirts, or any other metal band's shirts, for that matter.

Shirts w/o the logo, or that are turned inside out so you can't see them, are OK, until something that looks better can be acquired.

Lol, you beat me to it Geoff.  I was just about to edit my post to mention that.

^^^By the way, Matt (Rayven) made my sword and it look amazing! If you want a nice, durable, cheap weapon, see him for it. I can vouch for him.

Welcome to the Forums and to KR
I am Shannon. I am a Kithan named Kamei Lazuli.

You'll have loads of fun, believe me. Everyone there is really nice and awesome.
I would put in my two cents about everything, but it seems that everyone else has already covered everything and I don't want to repeat the stuff they have said.

And yes! Also vouching for Matt(Rayven), he does an amazing job. He made my brothers weapon, one of mine, and a few of my friends. And they're so light weight and easy to use

Anyway! Hope to see you in game! Celts are always fun to meet.
