Subject sums it up pretty well. Just wanted to jump in and say hey and introduce myself.
I don't have much experience in LARPing/boffer sports. I am a dice roller looking for a way to get more sun and exercise. I did amtgard for a while but it felt the group didn't live up to what they claimed it to be. If you aren't going to be using classes and complaining that you can't shield bash, why not just join Belegarth?
While I am not the most experienced fighter, I am the only one of the group with the time and want to organize everyone.
That said I had a couple quick question I did not find with a search through the forum.
Omni-blades (round blades) were common with my group and a lot easier to make. I see more sandwich (flat) blades in Belegarth pictures and tutorials. Why is that? Never used one personally, is their an advantage?
Also, can a weapons cover be used to designate its class? Blue Cover for a Class 1, Red Cover for a Class 2, etc...
With that said, looking forward to my groups first (unofficial) meet tomorrow. Should be about 5-6 of us to start off in a friend's backyard, everyone know at least one other person who is interested so we should be able to get this group up and going quick enough.
Anyway, glad we found a system we all like and hope to see you guys at an event.
