Prince Bryan and myself will be there.

Come on out, Atlantia!

I wear butted maille over a relatively light gambeson and find that it soaks up blows pretty well. My shoulders are protected by the mail from my coif as well as that from my haubergeon and were the one area that I was concerned about. Prior to the maille, I had a significant problem getting suffici...

I will be there. Look for me cooking in the Tavern for breakfast and dinner, and on the melee field in between.

Talorgen

Excellent. I am pleased to be mistaken in this case, since that will permit the submitter to have what they want to begin with. Not only that, but on either of the field choices this is quite lovely armory! I know that there was _something_ that I thought should have given a CD along these lines but...

Both the first and second choices conflict with Anjou-Plantagenet, first house of Anjou The following device associated with this name was registered in December of 1994 (via Laurel): Gules, two lions combattant Or. The wings are not sufficient to give a difference, and the change to color of half t...

ladyilsebet is in fact correct, even with the relevant citation from the rules for submission. A lion rampant and a lion rampant contourney should be considered to be identical charges by longstanding precedent within the College of Arms, even though the difference in their orientation would count f...

So now I know what I'll be missing in order to work the Children's Fete.

sigh. This looked like a lot of fun to me.

Their Highnesses have both expressed a mostly selfish hope that it comes in second, so that it can adorn the walls here. All of us here who have seen it can only manage to say 'Wow!'.

This is lovely, Cian! Thanks for sharing the photo.

Does anyone know the results of the final match between Count Sinclair and Sir Bryan? Was it best 2 out of 3? 3 out of 5? And what were the results of each round? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. The finals was best 2 of 3. Sir Bryan won the first round. Count Sinclair took the second...

Talorgen

I have it on good authority that Their Highnesses Atlantia are actively trying to figure out ways to encourage a larger Crown Tourney here. I'm pretty sure that Their Majesties share the same desire. If you're an Atlantian fighter and are not fighting in Crown, is there a particular reason why not? ...

It's not a great helm, but I do wear a full chain coif under my helm. I wear a padded arming cap, then my chain coif, then my Valsgarde 6 helm. There is no padding in the helm at all. I'm very pleased with the combination. It looks right for me, and I'm happy with the protection. http://www.housetai...

The schedule was posted yesterday to the Merry Rose.

The procession is supposed to kick off at 10, Crown Tourney at 11 (scheduled to end at 1), and ToC is scheduled to begin at 1:30.

The current version of the Atlantian Great Book of Law still has 6.2.5.2 The Crown Tournament shall be a double elimination tournament. Publication date on the PDF downloaded from the web today is January 2010 and there is no update to section 6.2 listed in the errata that went into that publication...

I'm sorry, but the design cannot be registered as drawn. There is a long-standing ban in the Precedents of the College of Heralds on registering Celtic-style knotwork. It's been in place since 1979 and upheld many times since, with examples through at least 2003. The following explanation is from th...

Any idea how much longer you'll keep the order open?

I have no beef with the process whatsoever, but I'd like an idea of what to expect as far as turnaround.

Thanks again for putting this order together, BTW!

Talorgen

My own experience, for what it's worth: I started fighting with a typical Atlantian heater (about 24x36, give or take). Eventually, fitness issues caused me to have to stop fighting behind anything that large - I simply could not hold it up in an effective guard for long enough to matter. Thankfully...

I am wearing some of Duke Icefalcon's blackened butted mail that he has been blowing out for low prices lately. I've now worn it for a little over a month. The haubergeon weighs about 30 pounds, sure. It's also the most mobile armor that I've worn yet. I fight primarily with a 24" round center-...

Talorgen

Mine arrived today. I'm very pleased with the purchase. As with other reviewers, the only possible complaint that I can see is the cord for wrapping it closed. Even that complaint is minor. I probably wouldn't have sprung for one at the higher price. At this blowout price, there's no question that I...

ThorThor is out of Windmaster's Hill, in central North Carolina. Not sure which city, sorry...

A genuinely great guy who happens to also put out awesome work.

Talorgen

Yup. Now I have to start looking for a helm. My Valsgarde just isn't going to look right atop this segmentata.

I've received the armor, and I've gotta say that I got a great deal!

Thanks, Marcus! I'm very pleased with the transaction.

The camera has been received.

If anything, it's in better condition than Roibeard represented - I'd be tempted to call the body 'Like New'. Dealing with him has been excellent; great communication and prompt shipment of a product that meets or exceeds his description.

I think the starter kit looks great. What would the pricing be?

It's not a pattern, but something like this: m Peter's research is pretty highly regarded from what I can tell. I've used the pattern drawings from m to create one fitted for myself. Unfortunately, I wouldn't bet on my pattern being useful to much of anyone aside from myself but it's pretty straight...

Wow! I didn't realize the distance, clearly. It's almost as close to just get here (Sacred Stone). I would be interested, should I find myself in your part of the world. We're planning on Blackstone if you're heading that way, and certainly should be somewhere closer to you sometime this year. -Tal

I'd love to get a bale from you. Coronation is (relatively) in your neck of the woods - will you be attending?

Talorgen

OK, sounds good to me.

I'm not going to Gulf Wars - I wish that I were.

Pending agreement on payment and shipping, consider this sold. PM enroute.

Baron Alcyoneus: That's AWESOME!

Can I ask what that's reproduced from?

Thanks

Which Sigma 75-300 lens is attached? Is it the APO or the DL? Aperture?

This sure does sound interesting at that price!

Thanks

I am wearing one that I purchased, which consists basically of four elongated stuffed triangles tied together at the points. Two cover the ears, one the back of the head, and a short one goes to the forehead. The whole thing is somewhat adjustable by changing how tightly the tips are tied together. ...

I was apparently the first person to reply by email. Otto has contacted me several times now to work through the details. Communication has been prompt and I'm quite pleased thus far with the transaction.

Aaron, do you realize what you are doing here ? It isn't really constructive, although it is informative. Part of what you're telling us is that you don't want to practice at practice. You just want to get your fighting time in that you don't get anyplace else. Productive practice is much more than...
