How to make Larp Lock Picks http://t.co/cEaTYMl3
Why in the name of fuck, would I want to have latex lock-picks? I’m not gonna be fighting anyone with them, am I?
Is everything in a larp for fighting only? Tons of things are for roleplaying purposes only.
Ragnar: pretty obviously, if you’re going to be “picking locks”. Similarly, people might want to carry fake medical gear for “performing first aid”, authentic eating utensils and drinking vessels (and even food) for eating and drinking in character, and books and games for entertainment.
but I guess if your game is only about beating things with a foam stick, then you can ignore all of that.
Not everything that made out of latex is for fighting.(and not small things like that). My reason for making them out of latex, is I
did not have any metal. So plastic and latex where my first thought. How ever I must admit afterwards it is propperly better and easyer just to make them out of plastik and paint;-)
Also if one have some wire, making a few lockpicks out of that, go Sealy well with the plastic ones
