m That is a pretty good pic of Gerard sporting the mentioned armour from said movie. Yes, it could work to keep you safe. Yes, it looks cool for Hollywood fantasy armour. But, it is not grounded in historical evidence. So it is really up to you. While I advise just wearing the maille if you want to ...

Though it embarrasses me to ask, how does one use a pennular brooch; either the uninterrupted round brooch or the more "horse-shoe" shaped ones. A thorough description or a picture or video would be awesome.

There is actually a very detailed typology set forth by Michael James Swanton. I cannot find a copy of his book that explores this, however, Steven Pollington goes into great depth regarding Swanton's spear analysis in great depth in his book, "The English Warrior: From earliest times to 1066&q...

Oh, c'mon! This is a sweet deal, people. Someone please buy this so I don't have to keep having fantasies about selling my liver to buy it... :s

I actually found the LARP part of the movie fun and it was similar to some of the larping I have done. But I really could care less for the rest of the film. Good review.

Swete

I need to be able to pay the bills rather than play video games, so I am selling most of 'em. I can post pics of the boxes and discs if needed. They are all in great shape and no damage. Gamestop only wants to give me dirt and a left nut (like off of a leftward oriented bolt, I swear) for 'em, so I ...

Swete

I am sorry if I am wrong, but your pants look like they are made of a modern material. But they may be silk for all I know. Love the breastplate btw, and your whole kit is pretty slammin

Swete

You should let them take turns wearing the maille. That would have made me plenty happy as a kid. ;p
But seriously....why do I have to be broke when all the cool kids are selling cool stuff?

It's like grade school all over again...

Swete

I do know that one can comfortably fit a lacrosse glove in them as a demi gauntlet. Maybe that is part of it?

Swete

trying out something diferent with plastidip still do not know how long it will hold up but i have smacked my helm several times with he saex and had no damage to the saex. http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/b467/eidelon42/plasti%20dip/th_2011-11-16221409.jpg http://i1046.photobucket.com/albums/b4...

Your grace the choppa tourney was EPIC I have never seen such beastly controlled feats of violence. I'm looking forward to running it again next year. Sir James the Holy That was freaking brutal. I kept expecting someone's gauntlets to crumple like paper or someone's head to explode. Was truly quit...

Sorry badboy. Adam jumped on it first and it is being sent out today.

Ya know ya can get morrowind for under $20 now right? It is like the crazy viking shrooms of video games. Ancient, yet still potent.

I think it looks phenomenal for a first piece. It certainly has a unique flair ^u^

I lost my job at the plant so I am selling off all excess gear. I am selling my pair of STX K18 lacrosse gloves. They are a size 12 and are in great shape. Have only been worn to 4 fighter practices and 1 event, and as such they have no wear and tear that I can find. I have spray painted them a flat...

I am a small guy. 5'10" and 140lbs. At BAM I was fighting the ravine battle which was a 1 hour rez. I had to drop out after 45 minutes. I thought, "wow, I must be in bad shape..." But I then realized, when I died, I RAN back to rez and RAN back to the line and Charged, uphill half of ...

I couldn't get my original name pasted and it was too much of a generic SCA mix up name for my time and location so I went hard core Norman and kept aspects of the original name. So, Camric Greenshield became William fitz Hughe de Cambria called Green Shield. But most people locally still call me C...

Here is one of some man-love between me and the super awesome and quite tall fellow known as Yoric, right after I got squired on the field by Sir Grimbaldus.
