In our news... We'll be at the Equinox LARP in Sparta, NJ this weekend on Saturday. NEW!!! Now you can check out our wares at The Gamer's Gambit, in Fairlawn, NJ. We have a small representation of clothing, latex weapons and boffer weapons there, but you can always order what you'd like and pick it up at the store.
We had a blast at Connecticon
on August 1-3rd in Hartford, CT! This convention is one of the larger anime, sci-fi and gaming oriented cons on the East Coast - I believe attendance topped 5000 people this year. We had over 250 entries in 7 boffer tournaments that we ran with the help of several NERO players from the Avendale and Hartford Chapters. The top prize in the big tournament was a $100 latex foam sword, and there were also free events, free memberships for a year and Merchant's Wares credit. Thanks to all who came and played - hope to see you next year!
We now have Iron Liege hybrid polearms and will have two handed swords - not that our existing boffer polearms aren't fantastic, but latex hybrids will look quite realistic, be larping legal at a number of larps and be 6ft long with thrusting tips. Pictures will be up in the catalog shortly, as soon as I recover from Connecticon and catch up with orders. Keep in mind, if you are looking for custom-made weapons - Iron Liege is a great place to ask. I will be carrying a number of the larger weapons - and hope to expand it to staves, maces and hammers, and other weapons soon.
We were at DexCon on July 16-20th, at the East Brunswick Hilton, in East Brunswick NJ. It was great to see a lot of both new and old faces, and I know we'll see some of you at a Live Action event soon. Tenative plans are to be at the September 6th event at Knight Realms in Hickory Run, PA - either there or Ravenholt - NERO Massachusetts.
NEW!!! Having a medieval themed birthday party or event? We'll come and run boffer tournaments for any and all ages - our events will be tailored to your needs!
Some of our new items
include sturdy canvas belt pouches, single pocket and double pocket,
more vests, shields, belts and limited customizable embroidery (by
request). We're still slowly updating pictures, so keep checking for
new and seasonal items! Some of the items available in our store are not yet on the site, so if you saw something I don't have in the catalog, please ask! I will generally respond within a day or two at the most. Some people have noticed an issue sending email from certain web services, if you do not receive an answer to direct email fairly quickly, my alternate email is rking(at)nerolarp(.)com.

calendar update, please sign up for the Newsletter. Your email will
only be used to send out Feast and our Event Calendar Updates - we'll never sell or
trade your email for any reason! If you receive a Newsletter and do

needs.
