Well I made the mistake of buying a GDFB set before pennsic last year. After F$@%ing with them post pennsic to get them to try to work it is not possible unless you modify them. (they don't bend well so knee fighting is a pain in the butt, the leather laces don't help much, the hoop that they gave y...

I've been searching for a post on here that has information on making a pair of gamboised Cuisses, I've googled quite a few things but nothing in the way of a tutorial. Any help in this would be much appreciated.

I am just hoping that more then the finals end up on Youtube. I know Sir Gabriel does a decent job of getting videos up there but it would be nice to see some of the matchups besides the end of the tourney. I'll see if I can get Jim to bring his camera Joe, does an awesome job of taking fight video...

Figures the first crown in 3 years that I can't make

Someone please do a sweet job of videoing this please!!

I am hoping to see Guillame come out on top, good luck to him and Joleicia!

I don't look at what I do as a seperate entity to how I am. I don't act in a way that I wouldn't off SCA time. In this I don't feel as if I am Larping. I respect those who have achieved titles and follow the culture's preset etiquette in regards to addressing sitting Royalty and Royal peers in gener...

I saw the experimental 2" spear in use at the last Kingdom Crusades. That was 2 years ago. I've yet to see anything change after that time.

Joseph

Congrats to you!

Joseph

the Pennsic marshalls should take pics for helping the situation throughout the year. Only the most extreme cases i.e the hockey puck mace. stuff like that even existing is pretty shocking to be honest but a simple list of the worst stuff found would keep the marshals in the Known world aware that r...

Seeing the thread title with the (SCA Use) in there I think the butted maille probably wouldn't be the best option unless the OP has the time and energy to fix the shirt as per the damage demands.

Simon Redbeard is shooting a CA crossbow and I am in front of him in all black.

Very cool, thanks for the heads up on this!

He is totally in his assassin pose, I also saw you and Master Phillip..
Very cool indeed.

grass but our city practice for a long time was on tennis court and that wasn't too bad either.

David Stifler on here can be of help as he is one of the guys behind the move to coopers lake and has made some excellent Dag weapons.
caesar13_66@hotmail.com is his email..

Woods battles always trumps the usual haybales and flat fields.
I think we may load up the van and even take Sir Mord with us.

jump rope and a sweet hill will help you alot.
we have our soccer team run up a hill hard and fast and walk back down to get wind back only to rush the hill again as they hit the bottom.

I will have to agree with HRM. I've seen kids being kicked in the throat and stepped on the back of their necks from "headwalking" and a myriad of stagedives that looked like a paralyzation in the making (all from working concert security) and everyone was walking and smiling and still roc...

I fight at a practice which may be the epicentre of madu usage in the East Kingdom. On any given tuesday/thursday there is at least 2 if not 3 Madus there. I don't think I'll ever use one but having fought against them since I began fighting, I don't see why using one is any more or less effective t...

Fixed engagements like the Gates of Rome (last Pennsic) or Wall Battle (Pennsic 36)

Simon Redbeard here on the AA purchased an amazing 900 ft. lb CA crossbow from merrick. He is a merchant at pennsic and might be worth tracking down as his stuff is awesome.

Joseph

the sweat in the eyes thing I see mentioned can easily be solved with a coif. I have one from Icefalcon and it was singlehandedly one of the best "upgrades" I've purchased yet.

I'll be looking forward to this at Barren Sands War.

"MADU" and "MA-Don't"

Alot of guys in my household fight with similar greaves with only one specific difference. We all use "speed" hooks and lace the greaves. Our Knight had very similar greaves to yours only he used laces and he never seemed to have issue with slipping. if you can't seem to get it right, give...

Has anyone checked out these edgings on mcmaster-carr? #3 on: m #1 on m Looks like they're metal reinforced, though it doesn't say so. and the extra tube would provide some shock absorption. I'd think you could just put rawhide over that & be good to go... maybe feed some thin cord through the ...

I see this ring method and I am wondering why to cut off some of the wear/tear on the sander and yourself why I havent seen these rings with a mitred angle to them.
It seems like the shields take a long time to make and require a bit of work.
How long do they typically hold up for SCA use?

ATLANTIAN INSIDER UPDATE! Duke Darius is in heavy training for this Crown. He was recently seen throwing small japanese cars around for strength training. He unforunately had to stop his treadmill work after he broke into The Speed Force, encountering a parellel univerise version of himself sportin...

Interesting. Joseph, how do you reconcile this with your past statements on CA ? Your Grace, I am well aware that CA is something that exists within the "game" construct of the SCA melee conventions. Using CA to its maximum efficiency is then my responsibility. If CA's tenure wasn't as lo...
