Re: Alternative to Madu

and no one cares, because it fits his portrayal and is not done in disrespect. I care. You do not see using a religious symbol to smack people as disrespectful? Wearing such an object as part of one's portrayal is one thing, but using it as a weapon in a game is wrong. How about using a torah scrol...

Re: Alternative to Madu

Please do not use a crucifix.
It is a holy symbol of a large portion of the population of the world,
and this is a game.

Re: Pennsic XLI - Marshal's Courts

He is a Tuchux. I have known him for about 30 years.
I did not see the original incident, but came upon the fellow

I herded him away and tried to calm him down,
but he seemed to prefer to be out of control.

Re: Using the Icefalcon riveted mail tool

Your tool sounds like it is designed to set wedge rivets.
You need a hole in each face for it to work with round wire.
Try annealing the rivets too. They will be easier to squish.
