RFB Staff

The Ready for Battle (RFB) range is a light-hitting range designed with children and light-touch LARPs in mind. 

It may not be suitable for medium-to-heavy hitting LARP games.

The long road from the Wizard’s Castle is treacherous and harsh, but as you pick your way over rock and through tangling vines with the help of your Staff, you do not seem to care. There is a lot on your mind.

The Wizard has just told you that you are gifted with magic. With enough training you might become as strong a magic-user as the greatest in your land. You had always thought yourself a simple carpenter! And now you return home, uncertain of your decision.

Will you give up everything to become something new?

Your Leather Diary is safely stored in your pack, and the moment something grand happens you will be able to write it down. Personally, you’re hoping for a dealing with a dragon--but just a small one. Maybe a kobold, to start.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Leather Diary is a small book with approximately 200 blank pages. Whenever you need to write down information or record data, do it by staying in character. The paper is heavy and textured, gathered into 16-24 page bundles bound at the spine with a fine leather cord.

The cover is made from stenciled top-grain leather which protects the pages inside. It is secured closed using a short leather strap with a brass buckle. Use this diary as the start of a secret tome filled with mysterious or infernal scribbles, a treatise, or simply as a personal in-game diary.

HISTORY

• The earliest bound books in the Western world used parchment with leather-covered wooden covers
• Many luxury medieval books had covers decorated with stamping and tooling

This bestselling Epic Armoury Maintenance Silicone is used for maintenance of Live Action Role Playing foam weapons and equipment covered with latex and/or varnish.

Directions for use:

Latex equipment must be coated with a thin layer of silicone at all times. This prevents the surfaces from drying out, and will prolong the lifespan of your latex equipment. Always check your latex equipment before and after each use. Spray the silicone directly onto your latex product and work it into the entire surface (avoiding leather handles) either with a piece of cloth or using a flat hand. If necessary, wipe off any excess with a dry cotton cloth. Always store your latex equipment in a dry and dark place.

The Benedictine Monks would often travel from village to village, attempting to show villagers the futility of violence and harming others, but harming themselves, as demonstrated in this historical reenactment:

These flowing and voluminous robes are made from a high quality and nicely textured cotton, sure to keep you warm and ward off ill humours.
Due to the flowing size of these robes, the small will easily contain someone smaller, the medium will fit someone large, and the large is really more of an XL (which is 40 for those that don't speak Latin).

The forest is serene this morning as you head out along the trails. Birds are singing and the weather is crisp, perfect for walking without breaking too much of a sweat. But as you come along a bend in the path, you believe you hear something in the underbrush.

Your calloused, strong hand wraps around your Wooden Quarterstaff. You’re ready to defend yourself from any beast that you might find--relieved as a neighbor’s dog comes bounding out from a bush, instead.
