Re: Map of Fighter Practices
m It is a bit out of date for the East Kingdom This is at least two years out of date for some parts of Atlantia. The Frappr model is probably always going to work better, since it is a community generated source, rather than a centrally managed one. Frappr will ultimately contain "dead" sources, b...

Re: Shields without hose.
A squire of Atlantia recently built a wooden shield with rounded edges. Over the shield he glued a thick canvas cover so that no splinters could ever fly out...why would this type of shield come a microfiber from being bounced at an event? Any ideas? Lack of training and an ability to properly eval...

I personally plan on declaring private war on Ealdormere because they sing too much. I'm not kidding. If Felix lets me do it I'll plan a private raid, showing up at one of their melee events with a group of fighters and two kegs of quality beer. If they win, they get both kegs. If I win, they get o...

Super Fun Tournament this weekend
Went to Dragonfire Tor's Guardian of the Tor event this weekend. 4 HOUR BEARPIT.

As you might guess, *my* legs are a bit bruised....
some of other guys, well, they are worse off
Totally fun, and exhausting...

I don't know of any suppliers in the TX region except for www.warriorarms.com, but they don't imply that they sell just rattan.
I might be at Dragons fire Tor, so if you want I could probably bring some there.

The rule of thumb I saw quoted a lot was that the gap between the blades should be set to around 1/10th of the thickness of the metal you are cutting. Ergo, if cutting 16 ga steel, the gap should be set to around .00625" in thickness... That's really small btw. also, the gap should be a bit larger f...

Re: What I've Seen
I've seen lots of Ansteorrans who hold their sword almost vertical and right next to their face, to block the offside helm. This means power generation can be a problem, since their hand is forward. This describes "Sigmund School" style the Sigmund school of fighting permeates the whole region. In ...
