Who I am

Hello! I’m known as Talieson everywhere—yes, even in real life. I’ve been sword fighting and playing in LARPs for nearly my entire life, having been born into the hobby. Over the decades I’ve played Amtgard, SCA, Dagorhir, NERO, Belegarth, and more. Along the way I’ve collected a variety of victories, stories, and accolades that I’ll reluctantly share with anyone who really wants to know.

Recently, I found myself struggling to get the gear I wanted at a price I felt good about and I realized many others were running into the same problem. The most competitive gear and tech is often created and quietly guarded by the highest‑level fighters. I started Chalice Arms to help change that. I want to provide the highest-level gear, that’s durable enough for regular use, to everyone who wants it! If you are interested but price is a barrier- reach out, and we’ll find a way to make it happen for you. These communities have given me so much over the years, and I’m excited to finally be in a position to give something back.

Outside of LARPing, I spend my time being a single dad, enjoying live music, playing miniature and role‑playing games, and collecting hobbies at an alarming rate.
