All due respect though, this tourney has a strong tradition as is, and is closely tied not only to Atlantian culture, but the Ebonwoulfe household in particular. The Speed tourney format works really well for this type of tourney. While some don't like it, and some do, I don't believe for a second ...

How about an "An-Tir" squires tourney format? They are great fun, lots of fighting for all and allow squires with different goals to participate for the entire tourney at the level they desire. Throw your squires into a large list field. Whatever knights would like to fight can do so. Set ...

"I would argue it's better than the steel groups since we can do a lot of things they can't. Mostly they just swing the edges of their swords at one another (and most use even more limited targeting), but we can do halfswording, just as one example, because our weapon simulators are safer.&quo...

Too bad. My plastic shield has lasted for years and years. Weighs more than almost all aluminium shield I've ever lifted. The only reason we use them is they never, never have to be rebuilt. No advantage in combat at all. As a matter of fact I have in the past built "disposable" plywood sh...

That is why I love war in the SCA, the anvil upon which heroes are forged. An arrow does not a hero make. Do you honestly believe that by throwing on some armour and hitting folks with rattan that you are a Hero? If so then you really might want to seek some proffesional help. Fergus, there are a g...

Why do i fight? Cause someone is trying to hurt me or someone else. Ohhh wait... You mean why do i play SCA and such.... Cause i get to again! i could only play enough for it to be frustrating and hard for about 4 years now it's fun again. I get to do it enough that i actually get to do something o...

***snippage of very good points*** Fighter B is hanging himself and doesn't need me to point it out. I would actually prefer just to make sure that he had enough rope to do it well. More marshalls should adopt this viewpoint. Hrogn for SEM! (ducks and runs odging the bullets/daggers sure to follow)

The jury is still out on the regards as to rather or not maille is sufficient to protect one from bowfire. If 14th century transitional harnesses can be penetrated, then mail is probably less protective. However, as an outsiderto the SCA, I'm a bit unknowing in regards to CA's current rules. But I ...

Yup. Slight variation though, mine is more a moulinet to the onside head. More successful is a face thrust/leg shot. When I'm throwing well, these two combos are interchangable.

Last night I spent a couple hours working on magic tricks with my youngest son while turning down a glass of the best rum in my liqour cabinet. I am surprised how saddened I am by this.

Even now that he's gone he is inspiring me.

Ewan

oh my gosh

God keep you Jolecia. my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ewan

Sold em.

Ewan

Anyone want to go $300 for these?

The top twenty cards in the list are worth around $500.00

Add in the next twenty or so and the total rises to around $800.00

Ewan

Thanks for looking all,

I've taken the collection in to a local dealer. If his offer is fair I'll sell to him. If not I may consider selling individual cards. (shudder)

Ewan

nice

Ewan

Thanks Gawin

Hi Robin, Have a look at the link in the first post. If you have any questions on specific cards i will gladly answer them. I didn't start playing until Urza's. Most of my cards are newer while not being"new". I was a hobby player, not a collector so the cards reflect that. Now if I can just find a ...

Ewan

Thanks for the replies and referrals folks.

Green uncommons' added to the spreadsheet above.

Ewan

Okay, decided since the kids and I weren't playing anymore to dump these and invest in sports cards. Lots of chaff but some real good cards in the mix. I really want to sell these as a complete collection. The Excel spread sheet with the rares and foils is uploaded here: m Included will be 4300 comm...

Encouraging mediocrity in the form of inclusiveness is meaningless? Tell that to the SCA. If it's so meaningless then why does it have so many members? If it's so meaningless then why is it the largest reenactment group in the world? If it's so meaningless why are you a part of it? If it's so meani...

The more I read Rhys, Alaric, Alfred, Logan et al the more I come to agree with them.

I doubt I can could exhibit the guts they do and actually do something about it though....

Tip of the hat Sirs.

Ewan

I still think you're judging according to modern idiosyncratic notions of chivalry, and not in the "what chivalry meant in period" terms that Rhys sees this issue in. OK, that may be so, but are there not books of chivalry written by knights and for knights, and written in period, that define the w...

Yep.

Nope.

Against other modern "scadians". Possibly.

Jess, If I may, I would suggest you watch the video found at this link: m Duke Thorin (right click save as will probably work best) HG is a smaller guy and his sword starts way back. Most importantly look at his shield position, paying special attention to the angle of the leading corner. As a fight...

Wow Pole-arm in An-Tir........ My Knight, Viscount Gunther is deadly with a glaive. hmmmmm Oh! Viscount Angar Ninefingers is death with a boar spear.

An-Tir: Duke Thorin Njallsson (Heater/sword) Duke Davin(depends could be round shield) Duke Sven Gunnarson (heater/sword) Viscount Sir Gunther Rorikson (you name it he can fight with it) Viscount Einar the Lost (if he can fight right handed again) (Heater/sword) Viscount Vik Vikingson (heater/sword)...

Myself and another archiver worked a three way trade for some "in stock" crusader knees a while back. He worked with Waldryk and things were very, very late, with many excuses of it was sent but couldn't clear customs etc. He would not supply a tracking number though. (which told me he actually hadn...

its just as bad as the guy who takes a light shot from a girl. it tarnishes the purity of our sport. ***I don't feel that way at all. Some girls, lady's, woman, and a few of the "leprechaun" fellers can't hit inside my calibration when I'm "stoked". So I say to them, "let me feel your "killer" shot...

"Good enough for crown but I'd never take that blow in practice."

As do I and all men of honour I am sure.
