Necronomicon - evil mage spellbook
[no, not "The" Necronomicon – translator’s note :P]

price:

€ 228
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • The book emanates the unclean stench resembling that of a graveyard late at night. The odour gets even stronger once the blasphemous tome is opened. Apart from this the tome tends to get impatient from time to time – when it is held open for a long time it sometimes closes rapidly and without warning. This might be dangerous for the mage studying the contents – he might loose his nose if he becomes to engrossed in the reading. This, of course, would make this unspeakable and malevolent volume immensely happy which chuckles maliciously in an almost inaudible voice whenever it manages to accomplish something nasty.

Big, dark, gloomy and expensive ;> Such are the books of evil mages. The term "Necronomicon" is only a proposal, it is just common practice to call a book with a cover containing the image of human skull ‘Necronomicon.’ [First heard of such thing, actually. Necronomicon is a fictional book invented by H.P. Lovecraft – and it does not have a human face, or skull, on the cover. At least it’s never mentioned – maybe it’s too scary? ;) And I know what I’m telling – having written an MA thesis on Lovecraft. ;) – translator’s note]

I do not know the contents of the book, the pages are blank as yet. And as for the pages – they are thick and concrete handmade paper. They are entirely replaceable – this is ensured by the way they are fastened, resembling the one used in file binders. The covers are hard, modelled out of leather with solid reinforcement.

The book can be used to parry the strikes of swords and smaller warhammers – the protective surface is not that small, after all ;> (I mean, of course, the safe foam swords)

Forming the withered face was one of the most difficult things I had to do (see production report). Also the teeth, entirely of leather and made to look yellowish with caries, weren’t easy to form. Two runic bookmarks are fastened at the back of the tome to make finding blasphemous spells easier than it has ever been before. ;)

• Features:
  • The book has the irritating habit of changing the text. The letters "o" turn into small stars. Dots and commas produce sparks from time to time. Words that were written correctly suddenly contain errors. Such it he power of Chaos…

Mommy, mommy, look! The Carollers are coming, and they have a songbook! With the star of Bethlehem!

No, sonny boy, this is no star of Bethlehem, not really. It’s the symbol of the four Gods of Chaos, from within the world of Warhammer – but those in the know already know that, do they not? The tome, like the previous one on offer, is a kind of ‘file binder,’ with replaceable pages. The symbols of Chaos were cut in leather by hand – and this is very difficult and time-consuming. So this time the product is all but cheap, sorry folks.

Book is suported with fully stylized sheets of paper.

Chaos Mage Scroll Tube

price:

€ 80
£ ask
$ ask

A very juicy scroll tube, much better than the one below. The reinforcement, made of almost 0.5 centimetre thick cardboard, makes it a really rigid thing. The leather covering, with the hard spiral elements – they are difficult to make but exceptional.

The hinged closing flap does not have any mechanism for locking the tube, it simply fits tight. The tube can be locked by tying the flap with a leather strap. The finishing details of the tube, as a part of the whole set, also bear the Mark of Chaos, so to speak. ;)

Chaos Mage Belt

price:

€ 100
£ ask
$ ask

This belt is not only a belt – it constitutes a major element of the whole set. It has pouches resting at the hips, decorative elements at the height of the crotch and numerous rings for attaching small weapons, charms and talismans, purses etc. The belt is adjustable in 3 places.

The front of the belt has two hooks for symmetrical adjustment (so that the middle remains in the middle) and an additional simple fastening at the back, making it possible to further broaden the belt – should you play a Norse mage (clad in a thick fur jacket).

The scroll tube is not a part of the belt.

Chaos Mage Canteen

price:

€ 57
£ ask
$ ask

I can make a very decorative canteen, or a water flask, with the use of a ready-made basis. This one is just a decorated canteen made of aluminum (must have been an old one – it was a little bit chipped in one place). The final effect, the canteen with the decorations, is shown in the pictures. The cover covers almost the whole of the canteen yet it is simple and easy to remove completely (it is laced at the back), should the user want to boil or clean the canteen. The view of the symbol in the centre is not obstructed by the fastening by which the canteen is attached to a belt.

This thing is just beautiful, you can carry both hot soup or ice-cool vodka in it. Preferably not at the same time, though. ;) Neither the alcohol nor the temperature could damage the aluminum canteen – and you should see what those could do to canteens made of leather, with the use of wax. Yyyyh.

Chaos Mage Bracelet

This is just a detail, not to leave a free forearm entirely free. Seemingly a negligible element but it is quite important in the whole set. ;) And I am not the one to decide whether there be one or two of these on your arms. ;)

Back Sheath - Backscabbard

price:

€135
£ask
$ask

A very desired and, at the same time, unknown product. There are certain facts about such type of sheath which deserve some clarification. It should be noticed that there is no way of carrying a long sword at the back comfortably – there will always be some inconvenience in drawing the weapon from behind and sheathing it back afterwards.

My version is an elite one, both because of its appearance and the possibility of various settings and adjustments. This still does not mean that it allows to draw the sword quickly and flawlessly in a crisis situation.

OK, let’s be honest, folks – long sword carried at the back is just fantasy stuff ;P See the gallery to read some further details.

Witcher’s Vambraces

price:

€ 100
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 2
  • The Cleaner – the wearer of this piece of armour will surely inspire deep fear-based respect everywhere he travels; people just know that there will be trouble if you mess with such person.
  • The NPCs are more friendly (because they are afraid)

Not that I am trying to make the best out of the release of the Polish cRPG which, anyway, took place a long time ago – the idea of this armour piece was in my ‘workshop’ for long. Anyways, witches abound everywhere now – in games, movies, books.

There are as many costume designers as there are their authors and creators. To each man his little witcher, so to speak. ;) This is why I did not even make an attempt to consult some source for this project – I just designed a version of my own ;P

Bard’s Set

price:

€ 20-30-50 (depends)
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 0
  • Oi there! I’m here! The Bard, though he is a rogue, can be seen a mile away ‘thanks’ to bright and gaudy colours of his clothes. The "Hide" skill suffers a -90% penalty.
  • Spare no girl! – Even when engaged in a street fight, the Bard does not have to worry about his opponent employing dirty fighting tactics. Bard’s ‘jewels’ are safe under the armoured sack, he may safely booze up in a tavern in the evening after the fight – and ’they’ with him. All the critical hits between the legs that the Bard might receive are ignored.

Chronologically speaking, the set appeared ‘after’ the vambraces and the shinguards. It grows with every year. As of today: Vambrace – a decoration, a lot of rivets and merry designs, The plate for the hip, together with a carrying bag/fastening for a weapon. Adjustable, of course, A guard/sack for the precious tool of Bard’s lecherousity, The between-the-legs-pro(creator)tector is a very important part of the set. ;)

Set contains:

Single Pauldron

Tasset-frog with belt attached

Codepiece

Bard’s Bracelets

price:

€ 63
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 0
  • The hand is quicker than the eye – The Vambraces are so light and comfortable that they cause no penalties at all in combat. Actually, the Bard fights faster than he would do without them, which positively astonishes his foes.
  • The foe receives a penalty to his Armour Class.

For nimble and flexible gallant swordsmen, bards and true ‘mastahs’ of the sword who fight for the visual effect rather than effectively ;) The piece of armour is soft with few harder elements only. It is more of a decoration than a real guard for that part of the arm. Of course this has an advantage – it does not impede movement in any way.

Bard’s Shinguards

price:

€ 120
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 0
  • Oi, foppy, you dropped a lipstick! – Because the guards are very decorative and not very practical, as far as their normal use is concerned, the wearer will often be mocked, derided and provoked.
  • This wench is mine! – Every woman with less than average intelligence is instantly picked up by the bard and his radiant shinguards.

If you want to show off – do it all the way down. This element makes a real nice set, for the legs this time. Works best with red boots – so that the enemies could see who is coming at them from afar. A lot of straps and tiring finishings makes this element quite expensive – but what else could be expected of completely non-practical pseudoprotective accessories for snobs and lazybones only? :P

Orc Bracers

price: -pair

€ 91
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 4
  • Orcs only, sorry elves.
  • Scar – This piece of armour is so rough, sharp and hard that the Orc deals way more damage in melee, whether he wants it or not (nonsense, what kind of orc would like to deal less damage? ;> ).

Skrag hurt his arm hittin' stuntie head. Stunties have 'elmets, steel ‘elmets with spike and stuff, sharp spike! Skrag not like hittin' bare hand with skpikey heads. Farmer make arm-armor for Skrag, now! Skrag pays elf ears… good elf ears, make good soup with vegetables…

And so Farmer made this piece of armour out of rubbish and scraps that have been under his table (But hush, don’t tell the orc!) from time immemorial. He used hardened plates. He made them look and feel as harsh and rigid as possible, so that the orc would not look like a soft guy and that he would feel good in an armour so much like himself.

Orc Belt

price:

€ 60-70
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 2
  • Orcs only.
  • Yu ther… gimme da belt or I bash ya! – The belt is so cool that every orc envies it greatly, which results in frequent brawls.
  • Da Boss iz comin’! – for the above reason the belt inspires respect in goblins. Every small green bastard of this kind will think twice before daring to object the wearer of this belt.

Skrag happy Farmer make arm-armor. Skrag wants new-ones. Skrag wants belly-around now. Beauty hangings he wants on it… and a nice… brukle? Buhle? Bucle. Buckle, yep, buckle. Nice buckle.

Make nice, make nice belly-around. Me wants walk proud in da village, show off other orcs. Me brought nymph-scalp. Good skalp, nice skalp. Two from one nymph took I. One from the head, other from [censored] ;P

Farmer took the new task before him seriously, [try not to take a task given by an orc seriously and see what happens – translator’s note]. He took the ugliest buckle he had, cut a plate out of cow’s elbow. He made a cap out of slightly better leather, so that the orc could walk tall and carry the sign of his tribe with him at all times. He also attached trophies to the belt, for tusks of a boar (they are real, really real! [I hope the boar does not miss them too much – translator’s note]. Farmer knew that among orcs items often change owners – he made the belt adjustable by adding holes for leather straps at the side of the belt.

Elven Maid Bracers

€ 60

The whole effect and charm of those is in their colour. The paint has been placed by hand, some tricks were used to ensure fluent passing of one colour into another. The patterns were engraved in great haste, jut to place them there. Sometimes they were engraved with a special knife (the nicer ones). The technology I used allows me to copy the patterns without limits. It is therefore possible to make a whole set of bracers, shinguards or a whole armour set in the style (they would be cheaper if in one colour only).

Bracers of the Black Numenorian – a pirate of Umbar

price: -pair

€ 85
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 2
  • Thug – Good characters cannot use this piece of armour.

For a Dark Numenorian, a sailor of vile mind and aims. Black armour, black soul, nobody messes with pirates black as coal ;> For the darkest of hour, the set includes one throwing knife. You can throw it… at some board, for example (buddies at a LARP may be a little bit irritated if you take aim at them…).

The left one has the throwing knife, the right one is of slightly different design. The trimmings are durable and comfortable and the decorations are made of brass. Nearly the whole of the surface is covered by stamped designs, for better background and effect.

• Features:
  • Inhabitant of the Emerald Island – A character that wears those is automatically associated with beer, clover [sheamróg in Irish – the translator likes to show off his knowledgeof the language from time to time ;)], immense areas of grassy hills and happy-go-lucky way of life. The chance of convincing the tavern owner to give you a free beer is doubled.

For a leprechaun, a hobbit or a well-dressed goblin. Actually – for anybody small who has anything to do with "green". I’m not the one to decide whether they fit your eye colour or not. You play an ogre and want them? No problem with me, the price stays the same. ;>

BadMoon Bracers

Dunedains Bracers - for Ranger

price: -pair

€ 90
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 2
  • Friend of the Forest – The bracers do not cause penalties while worn or used. Additionally, they protect the arms and hands of the wearer against the string of the bow.
  • They can be worn only by good or neutral characters.

Forearm guards for a dunedain scout, very practical and non-decorative. The throwing knives that can be used in the set can basically be of two qualities. The ones in the pictures are slightly less durable, are an effect of mass production and are not fit for throwing at anything. Throwing knives of higher quality can be added, produced by a blacksmith. Their price will, of course, make the price of the braces higher.

The trimmings are attached in a very special way, so that they would not wear out as little of their own accord as possible and that the sews would be protected from the outside. These measures ensure that the piece of armour is extremely durable.

Legolas Vambraces - Lord of The Rings

price:

€ 90
£ ask
$ ask

• Features:
  • Armour Class: 2
  • Can only be used by elves.
  • Idol of the Public – If the wearer shoots an arrow from a bow it will always hit an unusual location of the opponent’s body. The arrows will fly straight between the tiniest unarmoured spots or into the eyes of great beasts. If the target is clad in armour from head to toe, with no vulnerable spots, the arrow will ricochet and hit another foe.
  • Hi, Legolas!!! – This piece of armour is a copy of the one the hero wore – hence the wearer is sometimes mistaken for him.

As the name suggests – they are his. But they can be yours, if you buy them. It’s as simple as this. Fans/fanatics of the LotR will notice that I spared no effort during the production and made this piece of armour look in every detail as those that Orlando ‘The Divine One’ Bloom starred in. ;P

Materials I gathered from the Internet, pictures from the movie and some other reproductions served me as the basis for this project. The original piece of armour was fastened, I think, by means of hooks and rubber elements. In my version I tried to hide all the "modern & unfitting" elements under the main flaps of the bracers. I used snap fasteners They have one major disadvantage, as they do not allow size adjustments, but at least they fit in well with the remaining elements of the piece.

Deep carvings are visible even from afar. Leather engraving is quite an expensive technique of decoration – hence the bracers as a whole are quite expensive.

Dwarf Bracers

price:

€ 95
£ ask
$ ask

The dwarves nowadays are small, thin and feeble in comparison to those that lived in the glorious days of the past. What follows from this fact is that modern weak dwarves need armour that would make them look bigger (or, broader, rather…) and stronger. Hence the thickness and breadth of this piece, their trimmings are as thick as a sausage (well, maybe not exactly so, but definitely as thick as thin smoked sausage :P). The piece would significantly increase the dwarvishness of any dwarf!

Assasin’s/Rogue’s Bracers

  • Armour Class: 2
  • Hooded Hoodlum – The City Watch always has eye on the wearer. Once they see him at all, that is…

For a dark and gloomy thug and for the more elegant death dealers who remain hidden for most of their time at ‘work’.

A small piece of leather protects a part of the hand as well. The studded elements look dangerous – but unfortunately are not very durable. The version in the pictures is a simple one, variations with small knives and other paraphernalia are possible.

This is what tigresses like the most – cute, small, heavily decorated wonders. Theoretically, if not restrained too much by the costs, you can have as many nice things on your belt as you wish. Such belts are ordered by saying to me: "I want it very nice, red, with a nice buckle and up to 25euros". This is the moment when Farmer begins to unleash his creative powers and new surprise-belts come into this world.

BadSun Buckler

Not for sale - it's a private artefact ;)

Completely impractical (who else would like to damage a picture) an Orc's BadSun buckler. To give it a certain ‘feeling’ I installed the wooden leftovers of my old buckler, which I’ve used for a couple of seasons. Even though, that the picture of the sun is very fragile and non persistent, as it is made in metal – paint....it’s 2mm thick and comes from Ukraine :) It’s fully useful.

Exclusive and exquisite, unbelievably tidy, practical and durable bag for tireless travelers. True, it is not too big (hey, its only a bag, not a sack) but, due to its barrel-like shape, many things can fit in – and the bag remains comfortable in use. Thick leather with stamped patterns, thick trims, soft walls and a nice buckle – here be the pride of every dwarf.

Dwarven Canten

This is a good example of how to make something out of nothing. Almost nothing. The ‘nothing’ here is an old military canteen, the ‘something’ a cool dwarven canteen. The item is special in that you can order it easily – but you will never be sure as to how the final product will look like.

The procedure is as follows: you buy an old/new canteen, made of plastic, aluminum or rustproof steel (the one in the picture is made of aluminum second one from plastic) and I make you a nice cover for this, out of necessity already existing, waterproof canteen. The range of prices is vast. The canteen in the picture costs around 15euro to even 55euro, plus the cost of the canteen (and these are not very expensive up to 5euro).

The cover of this one is made around a canteen made of rustproof steel. The cover is fixed permanently. It is much more expensive, and much more decorative, than in the previous case. This is a good example of what can be done with a simple thing, if only one multiplies the effort and the costs ;P

Scrolls Tube

£ ask

A diminutive detail that will add brilliance to every costume. It is a very nice feeling when you can pull out an old map, a character sheet or a spell scroll from a casing made especially for such purpose. In the pictures, the tube is green, shaped as a closed tube. It is possible, however, to make wrapped casings and tubes closed by a flap – in every colour and with numerous decorative elements. Imagination is the limit ;) It is best to fit this detail into an already existing costume.

Diadem

Diadems are cool things that are always visible – even more visible than belts or bracers. You know, it’s all psychology – a man always looks where the other man has his (or her) staring organs (the eyes, I mean). ;P What is noticed next is the forehead and, soon after this, the diadem. Tadam!

This is the way to attract attention to your costume in a relatively cheap way.

You have a lot of freedom as far as the design and decorative elements of your diadem are concerned. There is no upper price limit here (except that for a diadem worth 100euro nobody will notice all the magnificent details anyway).

€ 2 to 10

Medallions made of leather (why not produce them, if you can?). The ones in the pictures have the Symbols of Orkon Gods (LARP) on them – a Tree and a Monolith.

In my opinion, these would be great for mages wanting to customise their costume more, shamans and other jewellery-collectors. Any jewellery freak would like them!
