Howdy and Greetings from Dallas! I was reading the rules post and an interesting question comes to my mind.
The clothing rules indicate no modern footwear. I personally have absolutely no problems with this! But one question does come to mind. If a player such as myself wants to go barefoot at an event, how suitable will the event site (if one has been selected) for a player to go barefoot when in character. I do have rope sandals, but I'm not 100% sure if they'd be safe enough to wear for LARP combat (I know they're suitable to wear at a renaissance faire or fantasy faire!).
Another question I have deals one of the other things in the dress category. It talks about how the Cimmerians are similar to the Vikings. In the other LARP that I play, NERO, my barbarian character can go into a psuedo-berserk state (not a game skill, just more furiousness in his fighting.). Normally, I play this by removing the vest my character wears and a little bit of chest pounding and growling. Is there going to be some form of rage-state that a player can utilize? If there is, and I get the opportunity to come down there from Dallas to play this facinating game, I will probably be doing the same thing, and pending discussion on how I do this, I might be able to take it a bit further (no, I won't strip down completly when I go into the rage state, that takes too long!)
