I have one left in stock.

A. had 6-8 fighters throughout the tourney and asked for no special treatment

Why would we need special treatment? 6-8 of our squires ought to be able to handle some odds and have a good time...

Johannes

It's even better because the lady with her back to us is my own lady, who has never had the opportunity to be present for any of the Couter deeds, even though the arms I bore at the first deed, and which are emblazoned on the box the couter resides in, are hers. To tell my own small part in the stor...

Eadric was made a Tenan of the Couter at the Combat of 30 at Pennsic. His story is still to be told, but he owes it to us. Here we are under my banner, couter in his hands, while the pennan of Jehan de Pelham blows into the scene from the right. [img]http://deedsofarms.com/gallery/photos/Johannes/Co...

That's them. Their videos are worth watching, and I am looking forward to seeing what they got on "film".

Johannes

V,

I knew you were having a rough time at the war, so didn't press you. We had a spot for you in case you showed up, but didn't publicize it much to be sure we were covered. We can set something up for Gulf, no sweat.

We are getting close to clear differences between Plaisance and Outrance deeds.

V, you completely nailed it with this one. I hadn't thought of it that way at all.

Johannes

The steadicam operator is part of the crew that puts out the SCA event videos, I egged them into filming us this year, so the footage from it will likely be in their product when it comes out.

Johannes

Working out 30 business here was never planned, it just evolved that way, and since it is a fairly closed event, with invitation necessary, it has just stayed that way. I don't think any of us really thought about putting the info in a more public place. Nigel and I had agreed that greaves would be ...

Johannes

I got so caught up in other stuff I missed introductions with many of the men I had invited to take the field. Next year I WILL do better in that regard. When surrounded by men of character, it is a poor thing not to know their names.

Johannes

this is actually what I bought it for, but we have not had enough carry through to get it finished. It gets closer each year. Tired now, more tomorrow...

Johannes

Just got in the door a few minutes ago, so I haven't had a chance to look at pics. I probably had the least fun I have ever had in the thirty (getting captured in the opening seconds sucked ) but it was pretty fulfilling being Captain, and I am looking forward to next year already. I'll try to put a...

Johannes

I emailed with him earlier this week, and we are getting some of our wholesale order for Pennsic. He is moving in the next month or so, and his expressed intent was to clear as much off his docket as possible before he moves. Yes as we all read his intent was to get as much off the list from his re...

Johannes

Castus, let me know if you have any other problems. Like I told you, I haven't seen this problem before, and try to stay on top of it in case it is something we need to address. Gift certificate is coming your way (might be after Pennsic, we're loading the truck right now).

Johannes

Mac,

If this hasn't sold, bring it to the booth and we will put it out for you.

Johannes

Leo, I PMed you a while ago. Ar eyou going to make PEnnsic this year?

Thanks, Yngvar.

I have moved the roster to the other thread about the 30 as it seems more timely there.

Murdock wrote:I'm out???

I'll be there by then.

I am missing land grab though.

But i'll be there for the 30

Sorry Murdock, Vitus says you're out. Try a new surcoat and leave your visor down, maybe he won't figure out it's you....

Johannes

English Roster as I have it right now, still in flux, though. I have one effective day before I pack the truck for Pennsic, so posts will thin out from me from here on. I'll try to check in from the road, but it will depend on the trip and where we stop. Sir Johannes (confirmed) Murdock (confirmed) ...

Not sure what you are suggesting, but it might be called slavery...

Blackoak wrote:Can we see pics of the inside of the hilts? Do they have solid triggers, or is it just a hollow hilt?

Definitely interested if it has a trigger.

Uric

Just a hollow hilt, haven't had these long enough to start upgrading them...

Johannes

I'm trying to figure out how to squeeze it into the madhouse we have at midnight Madness...

Johannes

As a non-fighter but one who will be attending and helping one of the fighters I have a question: Does the 'one ransom' limit mean a fighter can only capture one person or that fighters only need bring one ransom because they can only be ransomed by one person? My understanding is that once capture...

Johannes

It has been the custom in the past to allow the rescued to re-engage only after the rescuer creates complete separation, he may not help his rescuer to free him. Dragging by the arm or scruff of the neck has become a common thing, and I can say it makes fighting off a rescuer extremely difficult sin...

Johannes

Rescues have always been a part of the 30, we sometimes forget it more than others.

Johannes

OH! I forgot to mention I got a box of awesome 14th/ 15th C. purses based on one in Purses and Pieces made by Roland at Arnsbacher Workshop. I'll throw up a pic when I get a chance, but they are larger than I would have expected and have a bunch of neat features.

Johannes

Brogan, the Roman Cav has to go to Pennsic because it is still a work in progress, it has a couple more things for me to figure out before I am ready to let it go. It is for a 24" head. The Romano-Brit in the second pic is a super sweet little hat, I don't remember the size, but it has a faux s...

Johannes

Wow. What's the story on that amazing looking red great helm? That looks beautiful. All the best, Christian That is my collection shelf. The red great helm went to my first Pas style harness in '95 and has been exhibited in a couple museums as well as fought in a few times. I would never have the h...

Johannes

Man, our shop is really wrecked! Maybe we should stop finishing things and start cleaning now... Nah, we can clean in August. Should be an interesting war, we have a ton of new stuff, like the schiavonna hilts and cool little faux bosses. A small number of the new premium sword fittings, and a new v...

I'll go $75 on 6

Johannes

Angus, I had missed adding you.

Johannes

Updated List, if I missed anyone, please correct me. The 34 people I recruited has been dwindling, we are now at 24 Englishmen, and a couple of these names are unsteady. I don't have Nigel's numersm but I do promise that if it is only myself and five or six hardy men, his side will know it has been ...

Johannes

My grasp of the French side is largely from people turning me down because of the prior commitment so is hardly comprehensive.

Adrielle, get your man to the computer!

Johannes

$40 for lot 6.
