The time is nearly upon us.

Let us repeat last years victory!

Who will stand under the banner of St George!

(Traditional time: 6 pm on the South East corner of the battlefield on Sunday August 2. See you there!)

Hedinn

Does he beat everyone?

I assume not, so watch how others beat him.

Hedinn

You could make the offer on the facebook page as well, if you choose to.

Hedinn

I know its early, but I wanted to get a list going of people who plan to side with the English this coming Pennsic for the Combat of the Thirty. I have started a facebook page, since not everyone is a follower of the archive, and it can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1469646156630110...

I hope not.

Hedinn, there was rain? All I remember was Glory.

Virtue was your umbrella.

Very true actually. I completely forgot the rain until I saw it in the pictures.

I did it for years. Eventually it felt too much like work. Everyone else could take a day off and not show up with no work at all. If I wanted to skip a practice I needed to call around and find a replacement of practice had to be cancelled. With no other marshalls in the area it wasnt a simple thin...

With out knowing, pure guess, I'd say scheduling. Lots of schedule issues this year.

Our left handed tourney only got 8 people, when normally we get 15-20. We got a 10 am spot when we asked for afternoon.

Hedinn

Who is the missing man formation for?

Hedinn

I'd love to see you try.

Seriously, that could be a helluva time.

Hedinn

It would be very nice to have you back.

Hedinn

Ah, gotcha.

What are the major differences between sca rules and the singles rules for ACL?

Hedinn

Hows that going to work? Are they going to allow kicking and grappling?

Also - People have all ready been warning you about the humidity in Western PA. I just want to ramp that warning up for the Woods Battle. The forest canopy will magnify the humidity 10 fold. It can be like fighting with a rib belt restricting your breathing... Hydrate. Control your breathing and hy...

I completely disagree on the mystery drink thing.The days of strawberry surprise are long gone guys. In 13 pennsics, I have never seen these evil people who try to poison you with something vile and undrinkable. In fact everyone who offered me something was generous and in general fun to be around. ...

Dont stay in camp. If you are in camp you are missing something. You can find parties most nights by following the noise downhill. Some are private but most will let you in. You can get lost at night down in the woods around the lake. I recommend it. Some of the places are just really something to s...

The only real fear I have in SCA battles is getting crushed by having 6 300 pound guys pile on top of me. My armor has a hard time stopping that, and its why I rarely fall down when I die in melees.

I have little fear of the weapons, but the spears have had more then their share of injuries.

Hedinn

Damn. Sorry man.

The Shire of Nordenhal (east kingdom, central NY) is having a fundraiser with an online auction. Directions for bidding and everything else are in the link. All items are made by locals and donated to the shire for the sale. Auction begins at 6/19/13 midnight EST, and runs for 10 days. http://norden...

Hedinn

Who, me? I'm just a little guy who does what Tobias tells me too. You must have gotten hit in the head or something.

Hedinn

The final call is up to the captains, but I really cant see you being turned away. Your kit is easily good enough and better than some I have seen that made it in. If the count is under 60 then I doubt there will be any cuts and it certainly wont be you dropped first. I would show up and plan to fig...

Hedinn

There hasn't really been a roster for a while. If you feel you meet the grade, show up and most likely you will be in.

There is usually a thread of people declaring, but so many people have plans change that it really comes down to who actually shows up on the day.

Hedinn

Sounds alot like why I stopped my nra membership. Harassment.

Pot meet kettle.

My wife does the negotiations for my release, and gives a piece of her jewelry, a pearl necklace with semiprecious stones. As much as she likes me to fight well, she is disappointed when she doesn't get to ransom me. I have received coins, rings, pieces of armor, and a few pieces of glassware. To be...

Hedinn

Can you hold it upside down? I see people do it on occasion and the wrist movements are quite a bit different.

Hedinn

Would those of you who saw something in the 30 send me a private message with a link to the pic?

It will remain private, you have my word.

If it is me...well, send it anyway. I'd prefer to know.

Hedinn

After 3 shots to the same spot in a row, I would stop the fight and tell the guy that I obviously have a hole in my defenses. Would he mind taking a minute and helping me figure out how to close it? I've done this on many occasions, and never had anyone say no. Some people are trying to win the prac...

Hedinn

My wife has offered to start handling the logistics to help smooth things out. Give her a bit to work things out, but she's on it.

I would stand with the English if they would have me back.

and you can scratch your nose with finger gauntlets.

Athelmaerk war practice 2006. I challenged the entire royalist/chivalric culture to a fight to the death. A highlight for me as well. Having the opportunity to answer my kings call, and then standing in front of the pennsic castle facing the mercenary horde while a bounty was placed on me. Good stu...
