My friend sent me the link and I don't know if its a reenactment or if its more like SCA fighting with steel.
Any info would be appreciated.

Horace (aka Pirho) hit the nail on the head with what for our practice site. There is efforts made towards reaching beyond the reach of our own social circles but the first thing to do is bring friends. All of our growth has come from that and they are more likely to stick with it, make greater effo...

Expect to see alot of Black and Red from Serpentius there. Most of us are coming up from down here.

I fight in crown to continue to improve myself martially. There is no higher test of one's prowess and chivalry then Crown tournament. "IF" I used all the reasoning in this thread as to reasons why I shouldn't fight, I would never know how where I stand in against the best of our Mighty Ki...

material is stainless. I am waiting on measurements which he should have for me and i will remind him to send for me.
i'll shoot you a PM

There are plans to implement a better Youth Fighting Program in our Barony. The big problem we were having was not enough marshals or kids. Lord Bran would bring his sons and daughter and I would bring my daughter but if the one wasn't coming it wasn't fun for the other kids. Also remember that ther...

I am selling a helm for a member of my household who is not on the AA. He is asking for $350 and he is shipping out of 08054. I will try to get some measurements out of him soon. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a273/joehardcore/SCA/IMG00118.jpg http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a273/joehardcore/SC...

Hey Mord, Elglin (who is always at thursday practice) goes every year. He for a small price can bring down some things for you in his trailer or you may even be able to jump in and take the ride with him and his wife.
next thursday you run into him, bring up GW. I know its his favorite war.

Joseph

Hey tally.. bear and I both fight with bazubands. both of us have that thin black foam you get from windrose. easy stuff to get/use and you are set my man. the only other thing that Bear does is he has a neoprene sleeve and I have a sports sleeve on my elbow. I wear it most times but it doesnt reall...

Joseph

If we run into him before you do I will tell him about this thread. He was a very nice guy and seemed when he was there to be 100% into it. I knew he was out of kingdom, swore he said Mid. He came to the Unbelted practice with 2 guys from west of here (philly) Ivan and Ras from Silver Keep, so I wil...

Joseph

The guy in the white is a Midrealm transplant to the East. He showed up earlier this year at a smaller Unbelted practice. He has a decent offside and I assumed got "real lifed" out of the Society while he was still fresh and out in the Midrealm. I believe someone helped make him the armor ...

Joseph

War Kings I was referring to the East/Mid King. I am sorry for not implying that. I seen the work of the Black Talon first hand this year standing with them and they were a great unit out there. Last year we stood with the Tuchux in the Great Wall Battle and it was awesome to fight against them this...

Joseph

I would assume hiring mercs comes after each War King exhausts his efforts to win over his fellow Royals from the other Kingdoms. Some of the Kingdom's presence may be smaller then a merc unit but the depth that most of those Kingdom's that travel the farthest pack a MEAN punch.

Joseph

thanks for the clarification. There was a few squires in the Novice tournament this year (I myself am one of them) and last. Drogo, the only thing I could tell by fighting you (since I fought you in both rounds ) is that you couldn't defend very well against thrusts. I see that in alot of people who...

was a real education in what people will do to advance, Last year I face thrusted someone twice and they didn't take it and it threw my mind out the window (being my first tourney and all) A few fights later the guy came up and was told he didn't realize that meant he was dead and that he was sorry...

Joseph

For me, the tournament was many things. I really went into last year's novice tourney with no tournament experience or the right mindset on fighting. Since last year's war I really started improving on my fighting by building a pell, training hard and listening to people for all the advice I could p...

Joseph

I had a blast fighting against both you guys. Lucas I will be excited to catch the finals video when you upload it.

Joseph

I have most (but not all) of the names written down Spelling is probably not the best though. Duke Lucan v. Duke Edmund (Both used Axes) - Edmund won (Mid 1-0) "Fast" Eddie o Rourke v. Gunnar Redboar- Eddie won (1-1 tie) Horace v. Tindel (who was knighted later in the week) Tindel won (Mid...

Sir Gabriel has posted 2 of these on youtube.

Sir Gabriel vs Duke Edouard of Ealdormere

Thanks for the correction.

His Highness Duke Darius of the East wears a cape.
So does Sir Gabriel of Maccusswell(Kings Champion of the East)

As of Sir Berach being knighted at Pennsic, His Highness has started the tradition of allowing members of Serpentius who are Chiv or those who become a knight to wear one as well.

gates of rome not mentioned but it went East 3 gates, mid 1 , 1 gate contested. as for bridge battle. 1st bridge- Southern Region Army (Serpentius, Haus Von Halstern, SilverKeep, ICOD, etc) along with Atenveldt and Black Talon won our bridge. 2nd bridge - Since we get so much love we switched bridge...

Thaddeus, one of those pictures was labelled finals. What was the tournament that you were fighting in?

I should be on the field with House Serpentius or at Camp (N18/Battle Rd)

Joseph

From my experience the SCA as of 5 years ago was still tucked away from the counter culture where I existed, without the growth of myspace and youtube it would even still be a blip on the online map . In the last 2 years I've been interviewed in zines from as far as Poland and Hungary who will go fr...

What is the difference between the 7075 and the t1000 that Icefalcon offers?
I've had my shield for almost a year, its been through pennsic, and 2 practices a week through most of the year, on top of events , etc..
I haven't had an issue with it yet.

Joseph

I really look forward to being able to pick up a pair of your gauntlets from Icefalcon. Best of Luck to you in the next few weeks.

Joseph

the rip never goes away but you can maintain it to a point to put off replacing the entire piece of canvas. I just replaced mine after 11 months of use. Granted it was really beat up by that point and in future I wouldn't allow it go so bad before but it was interesting to see how long it did last.

Any Drachenwalders ever go to this Event or know about it?
