Hey everybody, you know the drill! Deadline for generics (no custom paint or unusual shapes) is the Saturday before the event. Deadline for customs is Wednesday before that.
How to orderPM me on the boards or email at
jollypirate(at)gmail.com.
PaymentCash or check when you pick them up, OR...
Paypal. I can accept Paypal payments ("Personal Transfer" only at this time, since Paypal charges fees for other types); if you want to pay this way please let me know your preferred email address and I will send you an invoice with payment instructions.
Ordering and Payment PoliciesIf you have never been to an event and want to order a custom/decorated weapon or any of the following weapons, I require payment in advance:
Shield, Two-Handed weapon (of any kind), Spear, Polearm. I'm sorry to have to have this policy, but too many new folks order things I can't easily sell to other people and then don't show up. I highly recommend playing at least one event before choosing to order a weapon anyway, unless you're ABSOLUTELY SURE you want that giant polearm with the kung-fu grip. Monstertown lends out weapons to new folks for a reason!
For ALL weapons orders, please understand if you don't make it to the event and don't make any prior arrangements with me then I am likely to sell your weapon to someone else rather than spend several events hauling it back and forth. I will make you new weapons if you promise to show up.

* Extra-large heads on weapons take a LOT of materials. If you want something really big or unusual it will be a bit over base price.
** Weapons come with a coat of Scotch Gard and are undecorated (gray) unless otherwise specified. Depending on what you want decorated, this covers materials and time. Because there has been some confusion about this:
all weapons without in-play value must be gray or brown (for wooden weapons). I will be very happy to paint your weapon for the standard $5, but I don't automatically assume you want that.
Shields: The shields I make are all foam. Due to the materials I use (2'x2' foam squares) they do have a maximum size (~24" diameter) and some shape restrictions, so please ask before ordering!
Hoods!- Standard, unlined: $25
- Standard, lined: $35
- Special fabrics/other/winter hoods: Email me.
These are like
Moresca's except I typically make them out of suiting which is a midweight fabric with a little heft to it. I have black fabric in stock, and can get other colors with enough notice.
Tips on the Care and Feeding of Boffers:Brand-new boffers must be "seasoned" over the course of a couple of events to give the tape adhesive a chance to settle. Usually this will not be an issue, but if you take a brand-new boffer out in extremely damp weather (rain, very heavy mist, etc.) for longer than a few minutes the tape will likely peel up and require repairs. This isn't a defect in the weapon, it's just the way the tape behaves, so be mindful of that if the weather is bad.
Don't, don't, DON'T store your weapons in a car or other hot/humid place for an extended period of time! The tape will melt right off, wrinkle up, your foam will do *terrible* things, and you will end up having to buy new weapons all over again!
