Ever been in a grump that your RPG character could only really manage a leather helm without getting hit by vision or dexterity penalties? Didn’t fancy the look of your character as she stalks around dungeons and danger with a leather cap on her head? I think this dire wolf inspired helm from Epic Leather […]
Chimerical Dragonfly’s Warhammer 40K armour
We’ve featured Chimerical Dragonfly here on Geek Native before in TradeCraft Bonus column. That post looked at their fantasy headgear but that’s only a fraction of what they can do.

Official character sheets for the Knights of Badassdom
Knights of Badassdom is a LARP movie. It’s about a LARP that goes wrong. Wrong as in accidently summoning a succubus, wrong. We’re talking Peter Dinklage and Summer Glau. I’m not sure this is a movie that portrays LARP in a good light. We’ll have to see. After very many delays we do now have […]

The 12 Masks of Halloween: #6 The Cthulhu Alien
I like this mask as a good option for Halloween because it’s also, at a glance, suitable for lots of LARPing. It’s a full head latex cover which makes it a costume mask and not just decoration and there’s no blood and gore here, no artificial fright, it’s just a mask of a creature. I […]
