The new merchant's layout was weird. I normally walk through in a weaving path so I know I hit all of the shops. It was interrupted in weird spots, and a few poor merchants were off all by themselves. Gossip is that we only have one more year at this site, then we may be moving back to Schnep Farms...

Golf carts suck( though i did use one twice once when they took my crunched a#@ off the field and later to go to Merchants for food though i walked home ) I say do away with all except maybe 10 for staff and security and the security ones are rapid response guys they stay at central hub unless they ...

I thought this may be coming around I have heard stories of sand and lead used to weight mace heads "for years"

. I think it is good that they defined what they meant.

What kind of landsknecht are you, anyway?!

Go earn your armor the traditional way. Kill some Italians, loot their corpses and try to get a few of the bloodstains off.

Ok if you say so they sound they same is all i was saying so i asked and i have read the thread. A new material in Caid may not be new to another Kingdom.

Either way i would rather continue with Rattan.

Are these the same as the ones tested in the 90s at least up in Artemisia? They sound the same but they may have been another poly something. The ones tested in the 90s got super hard when cold hit like night sticks and were very sloppy when temps got higher. So sloppy that they would bend into a U ...

If i showed up at a rapier fight with an Aten tourney heater... I've seen that done several times here, especially in melee; it's never been a problem. Does that get a bad reaction over there? Really? Ok i have not seen it honestly ever and was just trying to pull something that i thought would be ...

For a group declining in membership we sure seem to be going out of our way to get people to leave. Are we? Last i heard the SCA as a whole is reporting more members not less. The fact that we have MANY new kingdoms in the past few years attests to this fact because to be a Kingdom you have to have...

Greetings It has been my premise that ultimately safety and 'getting along' are intertwined. You don't impugn somebody's motives (in thought or deed) and turn around and give them the benefit of the doubt. There has been only one method that in practice has worked for me and others (to my observati...

There ARE some things I feel could be done in CA to both balance the game and improve safety without adversely affecting CA'ers enjoyment of the game... 1) Clearly publish that arrows must hit like a single hand thrust (face or body). This, along with the clarification that only the guy getting SHO...

and enough with this chicken little mentality that this is just some way to get rid of ca. Duke Avery, I've been playing this game for nearly 15 years now. I've seen the combat archery rules change time and again over the years, and heard the arguments made for them, and it is clear to me beyond an...

No, paint your face so it looks like the back of an empty helmet.

She was pretty shaken up. Then again, having a 6 foot piece of rattan strike you in the face when you are unaware of it is pretty disconcerting is my guess. SCA combat is inherently dangerous. Watching SCA combat can also be similarly dangerous. There is a risk to being anywhere within the vicinity...

I'm a Frisbeeterian; it's a southern California religious group, who believes when you die, your sole goes up on a roof and youâ€™ll never get it down. If you have sinned, the dog will get it and chew it up. They throw your shoes up on the roof when you die? Huh. Strange practices abound!

Anyhow that's a pretty spiffy helm. All the accents on black makes for an impressive piece of armor.
