Gunthar

It's still bad when someone has won a Crown and the people are unhappy about the way he did it and he doesn't seem to care about it so long as he has the hat on his head.
Of course, "THAT is same old, same old" as well.

Gunthar

I rarely throw spins anymore. Guess I'm too old and scared nowadays.
But back in the day I earned the nickname, "Battlebot".

Gunthar

Hey Thor, I suddenly have a hell of a lot more respect for you.

Gunthar

Final four were Sven, Daniel, Duke Miguel and me with Sven and Daniel progressing.

Gunthar

Something similar to this, with round fan, in heavy aluminum or light stainless. Edged with brass. Right now I have an elbow cop with no fan, attached to a splinted vambrace via a simple leather strap. I kind of want something flexible but that looks better. http://s241.photobucket.com/user/Gunthero...

Gunthar

I love your stuff and have a set of elbow/vambraces that I use from you.
I may be interested in a set 14th Cent arms with rerebraces and a half gauntlet.
Could you give me a general estimate of the cost?

Gunthar

I read his reply and all I could see was Napoleon Dynamite lisping through those threats.

Gunthar

I would like to know exactly what gauge Bokalo uses. And, were I to want to drop a dime on armor, I would go with either spring or some of Anshelm's thin stainless steel. But I'm just looking for inexpensive light plate legs to try out with my kit for those times I want plate instead of my cloth cov...

Gunthar

I was hoping to hear from anyone who has used any of his major pieces. On his website he doesn't give any information as to what the pieces are made of other than "aluminum" or "Stainless steel". It's a good price to see if I wouldn't mind full metal legs. Although there are some very good armorers ...

Gunthar

I'm wanting to get some more leg armor in addition to my splinted padded chausses and was thinking I'd like to try Bokalo's full legs in heavy aluminum. I'm wanting low weight fairly inexpensively and have been wearing a set of his arms for years and love them. My former squire, who made my nice clo...

Gunthar

Interesting bag. Looks like it might be a bit squishy but that should fit everything.

Gunthar

I really like that, Brant. Unfortunately, the spousal unit would have had a conniption if I had spent nearly $170 on an armor bag.

Gunthar

I'm shocked. Sport of Kings was one of the most enjoyable and awe-inspiring events I've attended in my nearly three decades in this game. The beauty of the site, hospitality of the people, quality of the instructors, pure awesome of the fighting....the food....the gatherings..... Everything. It was ...

This.

Gunthar

I finally found this place. I'm not sure which size is better but at this price I just
got a small and medium to see which is better.
They also have an embroidered option but I'm now in a rush.

Gunthar

Thanks.

Going to hit the A/N stores tomorrow. Alejandro's side zipped duffle fit his armor
and my shield without being unduly bulky. If I can't find that I'll probably go with making
a carrybag. I need a new one anyway. The one I have is far too bulky and the zipper broke.

Gunthar

Thanks Payn, I'll check the Cabella's around here. Sir Alejandro has a big side zippered military canvas duffel that we tested and can fit even the shield, sword and gear. Now I just need to find one. The wife and I will be hitting a couple of military surplus stores around Dallas (or the White Sett...

Gunthar

Nice. I don't think the wife unit will allow it.

Gunthar

That's kind of what I'm thinking of.
Now just need to find a decent A/N store around here.

Gunthar

The problem is that we are going to be exploring Portland for a couple of days as well and I really don't want to worry about armor. I may get a larger bag that holds everything and some locking straps and just strap it into as compact a bundle as possible.

Gunthar

I have an old, overlarge side-zipped duffel bag I use to carry my armor in. What I like about it is that it can hold all my armor and my shield. But it is a bit too big and bulky. In a couple of weeks I'll be flying in to Portland to attend Sport of Kings and was thinking of shipping my armor up ahe...

Gunthar

Hey Patrick, it will be nice to see you.

Gunthar

In August, if you aren't going to Pennsic, you really need to check out Sport of Kings in An Tir. Some major top notch fighting instruction. I'm thrilled to be one of the instructors, but there are also pretty good ones there as well. :-) Come out and check it out. I think it's going to be awesome c...

Gunthar

My sympathies to Count Sinclair.
Having worn the bridesdress FAR too many times. I understand the frustration.

Congratulations to the victor and his noble opponent.

Gunthar

I love watching the Finals of any tournament with such joy on the part of both contenders. Far too often the Finals are filled with attitude, sometimes anger and determination that the other guy CANNOT win. I've seen you win, Sir Miles, and you showed nothing but honor and respect to your opponent. ...

Gunthar

The problem with armor is that it works.

Gunthar

I don't mean any disrespect to the fighter in this vid, but I think this may be what you are talking about. I wasn't in the armor, but those were some hard shots hitting the faulds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkBerqO6huA I don't know either of the fighters so from just watching this as an outsi...

Gunthar

The problem with padded cloth in our game is it often absorbs more energy than steel.

Gunthar

I'll probably be going the plastic route if I make it.
I just hate the thought of putting the work in and then it causing problems.
It's still the look I've wanted for, like, forever.

Gunthar

I'm really jonesing for a nice Corrazina and love look as demonstrated by the gentleman here: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x116/johncmeyer/392811_10151627913667317_448778250_n_zpse5e970c5.jpg But I worry about the faulds, well, working. They are meant to extend past the body to absorb the shoc...

Gunthar

What's Sean's link?
That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Gunthar

Keep plugging away Thorbrandr, you'll get that second one!

It only took me 10 years.

Gunthar

Yeah, Sven has some speed, but no real technique. Maybe if we get him to calm down a bit and actually focus on skill instead of luck he might be a good fighter eventually. Right now he doesn't really know what he's doing, just mainly flailing around and sometimes gets a lucky shot in. (Just trying t...
