On Oct. 29th 2022, Calimacil’s CaliCON welcomed guests once more. Held at Calimacil’s workshop in Sherbrooke, it featured several local manufacturers of handmade goods, local organisations and businesses relevant to immersive games and the use of foam weapons, fantastic costumes and products from big names such as Calimacil, Epic Armoury and Mytholon.
It is difficult to mark a specific date for beginning and end of this period but traditionally, the beginning of the Middle Ages is marked by the fall of the last Roman emperor, Romulus Augustus and its more contested end by the death of the King Charles VIII in 1498.
One of the oldest weapons made by man, the bow is still used today competitively, recreationally and, in some places, for subsistence. A staple of the medieval and fantasy genres, it holds an undeniable place within LARPs. However, unlike with foam swords, you actually need to have the real deal to use as intended and the world of archery is vast and complex!
Tired of lightsabers that break the first time you hit them with them against another saber? Or that burn out just when you're finally warmed up? This is why we have created the first and only lightsabers built for battle from high quality modular components. The Quasar LEDSaber is great for roleplaying and practicing the Jedi way!
