Personally I couldnt care less about the materials of armor so long as it provides equal protection because they didnt have rubber-foam swords in what now everyone is referring to as a "period".
However they did use practice weapons by wrapping wasters with down and cloth so same difference.
Also, As for the SCA reference earlier in this thread, I also have fought there and it does make a difference, my main reason for using plastic armor was because it was a cheap material for lamellar armor.
, steel etc
I say this much. Do Strike Testing with real steel weapons and see which material you would rather wear.
Also, modern clothing does make a difference in fighting as in this time you all are referring to as "period" most clothing was actually made from wool in europe, not cotton. Silk has always been a common thin for asia, however so has cotton, but it was styled very, very differently.
As for the standard armor rules, do STRIKE TESTING on the base materials (plywood, steel etc) for specifics. This is what we did in the MCRS in Pocatello, which I already know has no basis in Bel, but stfu and listen for a bit. it helped make rules that made sense.
Also, think about changing some of these rules because of the economy being the way it is. think of plastic armor providing a soak 1 hit instead of soak 2 for plate.
seriously, you would find alot more people willing to play.

Admittedly i am suggesting a radical change of the rules, however this would make armor more beneficial towards the drawbacks. For example if you expend the time and finances to craft a suit of full plate armor and only get a soak 1 hit from it wouldnt you be rather upset? I mean that would upset just about anyone that I know. Admittedly armor isnt required, and since it only grants a soak 1 hit why wouldnt it be allowed to be made of non-period materials (BTW in order to be truly period all armor would have to be made of either spring steel or iron, both of which are expensive.)
