I think 20ga stainless should be sufficient, especially if you crease/flute/bend the splints before attaching them to the leather.

Here's his LARP's website:

I encourage you all to post on their Guest Forum to complain about him. His name's Ryan Gau, but he goes by Roman Gwar among them.

Okay, I think I found you. You're Ryan Gau/"Roman Gwar", right?

Your spelling and grammar are slightly better on that forum.

plenty of coats of plates featured substantial protection for the back of the torso. Just because there are no one-piece backplates until after c.1400 doesn't mean that you're stuck with nothing but mail or scales on your back. Look at some of the illustrations in Dei Liberi's 'Flos Duellatorum' 9mo...

I don't know about Independence proper, but KC has a number of them, including Kanarr(sp?) and a fairly large Dagorhir chapter. I recall Mr. Alucard posting something about one of them a few months back on another thread.

Keep in mind also that this kid has a history here.

Why longsword, though? I don't see what longswords have to do with neo-paganism. I doubt that any historical European pagans ever fought with longswords. Why not do something more appropriate, like Norse sword and shield, or spear, or dane-axe, or something?

It's not that I doubt that they were pagans, but that I just have issues with the seemingly ineradicable notion that "pre-Christian indigenous European religion" must necessarily indicate "womyn-centered, exclusively earth-mother-goddess-worshipers".

I'm not a pict junkie. Do we have any evidence that these guys really were goddess-groupies, or is that just modern 'neo-pagan' supposition?
