[Roleplaying] Tombstone

[karohemd]

Just received my "character sheet", if you can call an eight page PDF document that.
Wow, these people really put a lot of effort into their games. I've heard lots of good things about them and when I saw the announcement for this one last year, I signed up immediately. I'm sure it'll be a blast.

Gah, and then I realised that I completely forgot to care about costume. I assume a variation on my Balthasar costume will have to do. I have a hat, which is good. Black shirt, waistcoat, pocket watch. A frock coat would have been nice but there's no way I'll find something affordable until then.

Frock coat? Ahem...

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

AFAIK, you don't have anything in the style I need.
Think Maverick/Silverado/fine Southern gentleman style, not poncy/frilly/brocate.

Ahhh like the captain wore in the fancy ball in Firefly?

I do actually have a smart long jacket you could try, plain black.

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Yep, that sort of thing!
Thanks for the offer! Trying can't hurt. Hopefully, it's on the big side as I seem to have broader shoulders than you.

If i can get it to you have a plain black, dark grey striped or dark green frockcoat which could be good. You were after a rig (am i right?) as well?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Dark grey striped sounds good.
I won't need a rig now as the character is a bit more subtle (unless you have one of those sleeve spring contraptions, that would be a wonderful gag).

The big question is how to get it to me.
Are you coming down to zenmeisterin's bday do on the 4th of Nov or know of someone your way who does? That would work perfectly as the game is on the weekend after.

Let me see how Robin's jacket fits and I'll get back to you.

I'll be in Oxford looking after mothers hound that weekend, so i'll go with nope, sorry :(

I don't have a sleeve holster - besides which a reinforced gamblers pocket is just far cooler anyhow! Its the coat i used to use when i was playing Fletcher (if you remember it), dark-grey with black pin-stripe mourning coat, which worked well for him.

No worries. I'll see if Robin's fits tonight.

Cool - let me know and i'll make plans :D
