guys yes, I have not been here for a while, I know. I just wanted to confirm that not the "issue" itself but this thread gets handed around everywhere in the world. I do not even say "known world", because how I found out about the issue was on a non-sca forum. it gets blogged around everywhere. no ...

Thats not a fighter thing but I heared from a Blacksmith that works at medieval markets that a father told his son about the smiths fire: "thats not a real fire. You can put your hand in and try it"

My friend told him to try it first before he gets his son injured for life.....

I have to say that I only had one guy, which I pinched repeatedly in the face, not take my facethrusts. He then ran me over and clubbed me on the head while I was falling. but I am fine. All others died nicely and took them :-) So no calibration issues on my side apart from your average rhino. Our a...

I know raymonds quiet press.

Thanks Angus, thats cool :-))))) I might use your offer for borrowing weapons for my friend. If it comes to me I use pervertly short swords and polearms. Its all tactics. our former king thorvaldr loves to borrow my Poles for one-hand weapons just for fun ;-) But I will scoot over with aelric and I ...

robyn

Hello and thanks for offering help

Heya folks, since I have to alter my armour a bit at pennsic (grew more belly than I ever thought I would): is there anyone that has tools with them to do those jobs (and maybe tells me and my friend how to?) - drill hole into stainless steel - rivet straps into that holes - bend out / dish out the ...

robyn

Rob, If you are interested in Hjalmr's tent, or any other and make whatever arrangements you need to acquire it. IF you want you can have it shipped to me. I make Pennsic every year and I'm only 3.5 hours away from Pennsic. I can make sure it makes it to the site with no problem for you.. Thanks fo...

robyn

Mate - I still dont believe this.

This is proof that - with a little talent and VERY hard work someone CAN make his way to crown within less than three (Yes THREE) years of fighting.

Congratulations, your Highness. Have FUN!!!

The Tuchux. They were at the Pennsic site before the SCA, and since then there is something like a friendship- or at least respecting each other. They are still at Pennsic with us, and for the event adapt to the SCA rules- although they have the rumor of being extremely tough. But I found them to be...

I understand why the authorisation only at events rule is gone. It is a very special case here in Drachenwald, since the kingdom is so big and the member per square mile is so low.... I had some discussions about the rule with someone from south africa, and I understand why it got dropped. They just...

Drachenwald: Way too few archers. You canÂ´t really do anything with that few. Most possible Authenticity on the field is required through the Marshals Handbook. We have some additional rules I really like: Authorisations have to be done at official events and you have to authorize for every weapon ...
