Or, since you are Half-Orc, you could just yell something bitchin' like "Meat's back on the menu, boys!" or grunt alot and stuff!

Re: Review: Zenkicker, Spring-Steel polyens
I just wanted to say that I am incredibly happy with my spring polyens that Ken did for me. Not only was he FAST, but he was very, very courteous and thoughtful. I had forgotten to include some notes on how I was pointing them and he made it a point to ask me BEFORE he fired the steel, saving me se...

Jehan, This might be obvious but I'll say it anyway...do NOT plan too much traveling on this trip. Make sure you have time to look at the Rhein, sip a beer in southern Germany, have a nice wine in northern germany, take your wife to a GOOD restaurant, stroll a walled city, drive the countryside (not...

Another really important aspect of these foundation garments is their role in allowing the wearer to appear properly accoutred even from the beginning, without the armor on. For many, there is this awkward moment where you're not fully in armor where there are some improper clothes showing, and tha...

Some would say even less padding is actually required. I encourage folks to go with two layers of sturdy cloth and that's about it... Possibly, depending on the type of harness. Wearing a lot of splinted leather myself, I would feel a little naked with only two layers of fabric between my armor and...

Evolution of limb defense
I am very curious about the evolution of limb defense during the "transitional" period. I am appealing to those more informed than I to outline the transition, if you will, of limb defense during this time period. Specifically, is it *probable* that at some point splinted cuisses were used with knee...

This is a foundation garment, so the only thing that might go under it is a shirt. A coat-armor/jupon/lentner (so many names) to go over armor is a different sort of thing altogether. My sense is that this latter garment is too late in the century to be worn with a coat-of-plates (technically) but ...

Thanks for the pointer, Tim. I had seen that website, unfortunately N really doesn't want something with closed sleeves. Luckily, this is a temporary garment - as soon as the arms get upgraded, I can make him a laced sleeveless jupon. And I think an orle it is - it goes better with his style of hel...

The SCA lost the ability to be immersive the moment it opened up the range of portrayals to several hundred years and a wide range of cultures. Is it fun to be a 15th century english archer sharing the battlefield with 1st century Romans and a Mongol horde? I think it is." Lets run with this...what...

In what way do you mean in character? Not talking about modern topics? I normally end up talking about my projects with other A&S geeks at SCA events, or fighting, or armor.
