>>508998241yeah maces are pretty brutal. halberd are too. i use falchion and buckler. yeah that's a good avenue they probably have contact info for users/groups too.
>>508998654general mood is basically chill nerds but testosterone filled. i've seen women and faggots, but they are generally pretty based. i've never seen a tranny and all the people in my group hate em.
>Any restrictions on insignia etc?not sure i don't think so but generally if your actually fighting in comps you'll be wearing your groups tabard/surcoat so you don't get much of a choice
if you're just hitting it in private grouping, i've never heard of any restrictions
>>508998858like i said before groups generally have extra kit, but your mileage may vary.
>What's the cost of a full kit?really depends on the material and quality. I've seen kits from 1k to 50k.
really depends on your local armoursmiths and what kind of kit you want.
(you'll want to be fitted for gear in person if possible, if you can't then online is fine, just make sure they ask for measurements or your getting indian garbage)
i payed around 5-8k for mine. but i also wear it for Halloween and do medievalfaires and renfaires.
plus i love just walking and training in armour. the park near me is massive and i walk it in armour (really good for cardio and stamina in the ring)
and if you hate it you can get your money back by selling it off, it doesn't really lose it's value.
>Seems like a potentially expensive as fuck investment just to participate not knowing if I like itthats why most groups have loaner gear.
also anon, look up "SCA" they do full combat too
