I notice no rules about sufficiency of attire. So, a lore-adherent Atziri costume would be kosher? =0[.]o=

I just finished printing all the parts for The Whispering Ice and I'm about to start painting it... Will this be permitted in the event?

seeing the photo the only thing i cant imagine being against the rules its a few of the edges looking a bit too point, maybe scrape them a little just to make it a bit more rounder, but i'm not ggg, just trying to help, sorry if it was a bother, also its looks very good

good night, i think if its possible, you share a bit of sizes you would consider to be oversized, like beyond x height or y width its a dangerous zone, so people that will attend have some kind of idea of the maximum they can work with, at least for the weapons, dont know how this would work for clothes

That's a bit too much isn't it 🙄
If someone wanted to kill somebody else, it can be done with no weapon at all or with pretty much any object around. Having zero metal in a costume is overkill and these are usually the worst costumes. Let people have their fun, no one will get hurt for sure. Of course guns and real swords is too much and should not be allowed, but the rest of the limitations are kinda overkill.
Mathil will sure have a hard time attending with those rules 🙄😁

I'm pretty sure no one have designed those rules to hinder people's creativity or instantly thought there will be serial killers attending. Rules are reasonable and you can see they are mostly to prevent accidental injury. Events like that are crowded and people are excited so it would easy to accidentally poke someones eye out with your perfectly accurate spade by just turning around in the crowd. Foam and balsa props can be made to look like real with little effort, cosplayers used them since forever for safety and convenience reasons.

I'm pretty sure you can have some metal in your costume if it's necessary (buttons, small blunt studs) and painted foam will look as great for larger metal parts.
