Hi All! Hoping for some community recommendations. I am looking for a good pair of sturdy LARP boots that will last me several seasons. A friend suggested House of Andar, but unfortunately, they do not have a size that will fit me in a style I want. I am willing to spend up to $250 but will consider going higher if it's worth it. Points for speedy shipping!
t.i.a.!

Hello! I'm doing a bit of LARP gear downsizing. I originally was going to just toss everything, but I figured I'd offer here first. No charge. I'm happy to donate to a good home/someone with a need. I can also ship to you or bring it to the Fest. I'd rather see stuff go to fellow LARPers if I can help it. Cheers! -Mel ETA: I'll be deleting photos as people claim stuff so as to avoid confusion (mostly on my part, probably, lol).

Are you attending DFUS this summer? Are also (under the costume) a human being who needs food to sustain your normal human activities, such as regular metabolism and playing pretend in the woods? Do you remember the feeling of despair of being hangry, and arriving at the Cooper's store looking for dinner exactly 5 minutes after they close for the night? "Yes yes yes!" I hear you respond.
For a very reasonable cost, you can avoid that despair and hanger, AND check a major part of prepping for DFUS off your list, all before you even arrive at Cooper's! How? By signing up for the Matey's Morsel meal plan! There are only 14 sign-up slots left, open to ALL! Sign-ups close TOMORROW NIGHT, APRIL 1st.

Important news for those who require food while in the Drachenlands!
The Matey’s Morsel of Blue Camp, in the theme of Japanese street restaurants or yatai, is an ooc meal plan and an IC place to buy (for coin) or work for food - even without being part of the meal plan. We are focused primarily on serving the needs of DFUS attendees who have a dietary restriction or difficulty, as I myself am gluten and dairy free.
Meal Plan members, limited to 50, will be given a favor which allows them to eat for free. Patrons without a favor can pay for their meal in coin or labor - but expect coin prices to be high.
Applications for the Meal Plan are open until April 1st 2025. Selection criteria includes food & health concerns, if you’re sleeping on site, what camp you’re part of (blue gets priority - home…

I was wondering if we're going to be able to get a compilation of the survey responses from DF 2024. I have sent messages on the chat 3 times since October but to this date I have yet to get an acknowledgement. I primarily need to know relatively soon if crafting is going to remain "as-is"? It takes a while to decide whether or not to cart out a full forge.
Thank you for your time.

I bring a forge to Blue Camp, so if you end up not bringing yours, you can use mine if needs be. Bjorn

Hello!
I am new to larping, and recently discovered this event. I would like to connect with people and gather more information. Will someone please link the discord?
Thank you!
Hi! This link should do it: https://discord.gg/y8csPksX
There are also separate discords for each camp, and I think most of the bazaar guilds/enterprises have discords too. None of these are official channels, just ways for players to organize stuff before the fest!
Hello!
When people talk about footwear, I usually recommend viking style of shoes because not only do they look good for most garb kits, but they also conform to your feet overtime as they are made of leather. Having attended many long events, to include re-enactment, I often tell people that if you can afford it to have two pairs of "in game or immersive" shoes/boots. Wearing boots for an a long period of time isn't reccomended in my personal opinion but are great for combat. Boots have a tendency to wear on the feet/skin and make your feet stink, while shoes add more beathable circumstances.
Leather Shoes - walking, non-combat
Leather Boots - combat, hiking, trekking
I used to buy from vikingleathercrafts all the time:
https://www.vikingleathercraft.com/category/Mens-Viking-Boots
My current pairs of Jorvik shoes/boots have been with me for about six years and they both slip on and off with ease. Whats nice about the site I referenced, is that they can add vibrams to the bottoms of the shoes for grip/combat as well.
With confidence, I can say out of all the styles of shoes and boots I have worn over the years, the Jorvik style are by far the best suited for LARP because of the looks and most importantly the function.
