SFX Makeup Basics Kit
Scar wax, fake blood, bruise wheels, and dirt: the difference between a costume and a character who has lived a life.
What to look for: A small kit with remover included. Test everything on your arm before event day; adhesives and latex cause reactions in some people.

Foam Boffer Sword
The workhorse of full-contact battle games: a padded core sword built to be swung hard and safely.
What to look for: Thick, even padding and a thrust-safe tip, and always check your game's minimum padding and length rules before buying.
Latex LARP Sword
The realistic-looking sword for light-touch and theater games: molded latex over a flexible core, painted like real steel.
What to look for: A length that suits your height and fighting style. Budget for silicone maintenance spray; latex dries out without it. Most combat games require latex weapons to pass a safety check.
Foam LARP Shield
A padded shield that takes hits all weekend, from simple rounds to painted heater shields with house colors.
What to look for: Foam construction for battle games (wood cores are banned at many). Check the strap setup suits your arm and style.
LARP Bow and Foam-Tipped Arrows
Archery is real in LARP, with low-draw bows and padded arrows that get inspected one by one.
What to look for: Draw weight at or under your game's cap (often 30 lbs at 28 inches) and arrows with proper padded heads. Arrows are consumables; buy spares.
