Just a though, would a forum for ren-acting gear other than guns and cooking gear be an idea worth doing? Cover every thing from sewing kits. (That's where the idea came from), tents, bedrolls, clothing and other such gear that was important to everyday life in the Victorian era.
The little acoutriments are important for those who carry their persona's beyond the shooting. Cover things as how to make stuff, where to find stuff. Just an idea to kick around.
