ShadowLion Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Alright, Rangers! We've been talking about this and dreaming about this. Now's the time to start doing this! Not much in the way of rules or categories yet. I'm figuring that, as we usually do, we will come to working consensus via discussions in the thread. Post pictures, talk trash, put up links to resources and most of all - HAVE FUN! 3 Quote All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. ~T. E. Lawrence When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty. ~John Muir Link to comment

Hi, Oramac. We'd talked about an all-guild PVP, but I'm stretched thin right now. No reason someone else can't start one, though. I'd like to see what that would look like!

Rurik Harrgath Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 That sounds like how 90% of the Rangery has exploded about here lately.

Though I have a lot of tablet weaving to do in order to make the belt. Halloween is just an excuse to do what we all secretly wanted to do anyway. The coat sounds cool, as does tablet weaving... That method sounds awfully familiar... Heh. I watch and learn. Or perhaps I should say, I experience and learn, having had a few of those methods thrown in my general direction before. That sounds like how 90% of the Rangery has exploded about here lately. It's a pure grassroots movement, born and bred in the Ranger forums.

It's fun, but better if optional No. It's whatever anyone wants to do. We have very flexible standards! It's called a "costume contest" and is a PVP to have a place to put the thread, but we don't have any rules or categories! In other words, we're making it up as we go along in true Ranger fashion.

Rurik Harrgath Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Big props for dropping all of the helpful hints and links across the forums, ShadowLion. A few have even made their way into my inspiration board on Pinterest. I've mentioned this in a few places now, but I'm tackling this cloak business with a two front approach. As I'm a huge fan of both Fantasy and Sci-Fi Rangers, I've decided to attempt cloaks inspired by both, So both the LARP and Wasteland links have been quite helpful in inspiring some of the thematic elements I'm considering for each. 2 Quote [Level ??] Rurik, the Thunderer Class: Stormborn War-Shaman (Path of Giants Barbarian/Conquest Paladin/Elemental Domain Cleric) BRUTALITY 11 | FINESSE 10 | VIGOR 11 | INSIGHT 14 | WILL 13 Equipment: Studded leather armor, war club, plus adventurer's pack containing rations, rope, and nature-based potions.
