/tg/Station 13

Hello all,

This is my first time posting on these forums, so pardon any mistakes or lack of foresightedness on my part.

For Halloween this year, I am thinking of dressing up as a Blood Cultist, and I'm looking for advice on what the costume should include and how to put the costume together.

I imagine items such as a ritual dagger, and perhaps a mirror shield, would be a given, but since I haven't been exposed to the Cult game mode that much, I also imagine that there are plenty more iconic items I'm unaware of.
As for materials, and putting the costume together, I'm trying to think on a low-budget; however, as I'm not too familiar with putting costumes together, I am open to any ideas regardless of inherent cost or time, especially in terms of costume-building advice.

Let me know if you have any advice or need me to specify anything. Let us forum.

soul shards, old cult book, cult paper are classics

You could do a flashlight with a colored cover up the sleeve to make your hand glow with magic.

I like these ideas, thank you. What about the outfit I'll be wearing? Should it be a robe, and if so, what kind? I was thinking the flagellant robe myself, if only for the simplicity I imagine it has (a red cloth, if nothing else).

I think they both have a darker red robe from the forge, and the brown one from summon equipment. The brown one might be easier if you can find a monk outfit.

Tad bit late, but here's what happened!

I ordered a burgundy-red robe, but it wasn't due to arrive until after Halloween, so I wouldn't have had the costume ready 'till afterwards.

So instead, I've taken to working on the costume and the ritual dagger in my spare time, which, admittedly, I haven't set aside much time to doing.

Currently, the ritual dagger (one of the first sorts of arts-and-crafts I've done, mostly by my own hands, in quite a while) looks a bit like this:

I modeled the blade out of a foam trifold display (the sorts used to display your experiments in science fairs), and covered it with a few layers of polyurethane and sparkling paste. I modeled the wooden grip out of a stick I found on the ground.

I also found some lightsaber-styled Popsicle holders that have a red light built in, so I could tape one to my wrist, or insert it inside a translucent glove, to give the appearance that my hand was glowing with magic.

Hopefully, I'll continue work on this, and we'll have yet another example of a Space Station 13 cosplay. Or Halloween costume. Or whatever.
