Are any of you the types to costume up and get into your characters? Maybe not for a night of gaming, but throughout the years, perhaps for an event?
Myself, not so much - but I take the opportunity to project such upon my son in the form of Halloween costumes (with his permission, of course!) I've only got two years worth in on him, but have crafted the costumes myself from inspiration of a character I've played or an NPC I've created in my D&D game. There's LARPing in his future yet, you wait. ; )

Has anyone else crafted full costume for conventions/display/fun? I'd love to see what has become of manifested imagination!
I "Closet Cosplayed" my Halfling Cleric. Closet cosplay is when you make a cosplay using whatever you have at your house. So I used my make up to make me look really tired because we slept in Strahds castle in our campaign and the DM said I had horrible dreams. I wore my Renaissance dress and curled my hair because my character has curly hair. It was really run and all the other players dressed up too. Candles were lit atmosphere was made.
I haven't done cosplay yet, but I will be going to Megacon in Orlando as a tiefling swashbuckler (my upcoming character for homebrew campaign). I have most of my costume including a great long pirate coat I got at the Tampa Ren Faire, which I love (Faire and coat). I still need wig, gloves, pants, and red body paint to complete my character. I think it should end up looking pretty good. Not Mickey_Flint up there, but good.

Up until this year I was a vendor at the Bay Area Ren Fair lol. I am actually on this weeks advertisement for the last weekend of the fair. Where did you get our coat? Sandler?

"I was led to believe there would be punch and pie?"
In the past I've cosplayed as Deadpool, Batman, Ash (Evil Dead) and many others. But always wanted to get into LARPing and stuff.
I'm about to be doing a shadowrun game and i am a troll on that. So i'm working on a cyberpunk troll costume. I have nice horns and things so far which could also work for a Tiefling costume later on perhaps.
Zero judgment about it--but, I have never had anyone dress up a bit for a game. I've never said "don't do it", but in all my years... never had anyone want to. Is this common?
We're doing our own book on Kickstarter! It's going to be amazing--300 pages, art, and so much high quality content you'll be drownin' in it... Click here to check it out and sign-up!

Well none of those were done for or at a game. We only ever did the year we played on Halloween
I never had anyone dress up for a tabletop game, but we were also big into LARPing. I haven't made it to conventions enough to even begin to think about cosplay and I miss LARP due to a disability. I actually donated all my gear to the LARP I had almost 20 years into when they were going to do a fundraiser and prep for a new campaign. Rather miss it, but actually have no use for the stuff nor do I fit in half of it now. Had a rather cool outfit for my sword and board fighter that grew over time. I made a lot of things myself, but did buy some things to save me the time and effort. I always dressed up for Renn Faire's, too. Used to live 20 minutes from one. All my photos are prints and not digital, so I'd have to grab my scrapbook and scan them in. I can thank a creative mom for teaching me sewing and all sorts of things that made it possible.

Back in 4th edition we played on halloween and everyone dressed as their character. I was a wizard. Specifically a hipster wizard. I had started by own microbrewery in town and only cast spells that no one's ever heard of before.
Speaking of cosplay, does anyone have any favorite Etsy shops for costume pieces? It's ridiculous how good some of the real crafted items out there are.

I've done a few Cosplays of rolled D&D Characters.....My Ranger.....
"I was led to believe there would be punch and pie?"
"I was led to believe there would be punch and pie?"
I also did a matched set of arcane trickster rogues...
"I was led to believe there would be punch and pie?"
I even built out a fully loaded and functioning Explorers Pack from the PHB :p
"I was led to believe there would be punch and pie?"
I'm currently working on my first cosplay, which is of Percival from Critical Role.
All of the above pictures are awesome! I hope to get to that level some day.
If you love a character, you give them pain, ruin their lives, make them suffer. Maybe even throw in a heroic death.

Yes I do, you should try Knives Remembered. They have real sharp swords and cosplay longswords.
I have been looking for a Dragonborne mask, anyone seen one? There probably isn't one but my main character is a Dragonborne.
I bought a shirt with a ruffle in the chest and puffy sleeves when I started playing a bard. The other players at the table loved it.
