of course, you have a wide choice when it comes to edging your leather...

Rev. George

Dale: question:

Ever consider adding a corizina kit to your line? I think it would be a good example of a type of hidden armour that would work well in the ABS... Just a thought...

Rev. George

this belies my eventual goal, and why I like the unpadded glave rules. I want a REAL two handed sword. Imagine a 5-6 foot stick of rattan with cast rubber quilons and a pommell. pokey tip on the pommell, as well as the head. With that type of weapon, one could half sword, murder stroke, etc. It woul...

Rev. George

well since marto and UC split the franchise, your choices are a little limited...

From my understanding, carrots come in several varieties: white, red, purple and yellow. Orange is supposed to have come later... You can still order seeds for the various coloured carrots, so if you want to wow the folx at an event, imagine purple carrot pudding... Cheddar I believe is a post perio...

Rev. George

The one I have was made for the swiss by the germans... Matt broadway gave it to me in exchange for something or another...

Rev. George

WMA: that's not the issue. The swiss helm i have gagued at 16 ga. That should cover the legality, as to saftey, if you've ever buggered with ww2 pots, you know how hard they are (pretty much they are hardened carbon steel). There wa at one point a proviso in the rules that made using mundane militar...

Rev. George

most of the WW2 german style helmets are sallets. a lil work will make a nice helm. Now... the problem is Rumour has it if you want to use it as an SCA combat helm it is against the rules.

Rev. George

Should be double elim not this silly war crown thing. It's about crowning your consort not how many buddies you got. Because we all know that in the period we re-create a country never came under the rule of a king due to two armies clashing, it was always a double elimination tourney. Then you say...

Rev. George

any suggestions on thier use?

Rev. George

Brodir, i may be interesteds, depending on the fit... drop me a line

Rev. George

You'll notice most of the SCA combat tends to be relatively static after the first blow. aquire target, Run up, whack the bejesus out of him/her, aquire new target. In betwixt, there is a lot of posing, and intimidation type stuff, but you dont see people do a lot of passing, or lunging, etc. When y...

Rev. George

Georges's tip o the day;

Hold down the {shift} key and hit refresh. It forces a reload.

-+G

Rev. George

Well if you dont have sleeves on it yet, have you tried flipping it?

Otherwise adding a line is probably the best way to do it.

-+G

Rev. George

Pure speculation:

Maybe its like a caber toss?

OR

Tossing a solid iron spear?

Rev. George

Anyone interested in Archive favours? I could do another run, Lord knows I need the cash...

Rev. George

As an aside, I think historians are pretty sure he never used the appeleation tepes himself. Most people dont use thier derogatory by names/ epithets. In a similar example, William of normandy MAY have called himself "william the conquerer" but probably not "william the bastard"

Rev. George

The edited word was one used to refer to a member of the nationilist socialist german workers party. These are also the cahps that rounded up gypsies, homosexuals, and People of hebrew decent to be exterminated in camps (that is unless you believe this nutjo---err person: http://www.giwersworld.org/...

You might consider using a flux....

Rev. George

If you are a muslim is it (in your beliefs) sacreligous to portray a Christian knight. Also, is it really important since this is after all a hobby, a game if you will. Personally I am Christian so I h Hmmm I guess that's why we have no popular muslim actors... LOL Seriously, Do you believe that it...

Rev. George

Should be "COLD Kill" Kinda where a herald offers little or no advise, then relishes in shooting down your device because the only instance of red dogs on a gold feild was borne by famlies in line to the royal throne of gondor, or somesuch. Mentioning it is one thing, Actively trying to make sure yo...

Green scrubbie + PAM (the cooking spray)

Rev. George

The enforcement of the restriction on religion in official settings does seem to turn a blind eye (ouch, bad Vinnie, no hammer for you) to those that are not of the cross type. WHAT RESTRICTION?? The only restriction is that one may not perform religious cermonies in such a way that it appears the ...

Rev. George

Well vincent, I dunno... Are you saying that a meber must be christian? or that a Persona must be christian? Must it be a period form of christianity? I personally feel that in period a knight was ASSUMED to be christian. Wether he was or wasnt may never be known. If it was found out that he wasn't,...

Rev. George

Way back in the beforetime, the long long ago, Every fighter was required to participate in crown. Dukes had the perogative to sit it out...

Probly not alot of bearing on this discussion, but it is interesting.

Heat, then allow to cool as slowly as possible.

Alternately, take it to a metal shop...

Konstantin: In meridies, It's 8 bux per action. Some kingdoms have an upcharge tho, so that's ok... Sebastian: He;s right, talk to a herald. there's no better way to do it. If you terribly WANT to do conflict checking yourself, the best way to start is to use the searchable ordanary and armoury on t...

Rev. George

Tim, I have seen a earthen ware one. One of the local ladies had one at our baronial pas. pretty nice, if i do say so... another option might be to get a metal/plastic one, and have a pitcher built with a lip inside, so it could be hidden while dripping...

Rev. George

I would guess Its a latch pin. I'd wager there are 2 of them. usually you depress a knob, and this post retracts, allowing the visor to be raised...

<i>Should us Men-at-Arms or Squires, dress according to their station? If A Man-at-Arms dresses as well as a Knight, is he being presumptious? If this is true, then how will other Knights view that man? Will the think less of him and his Franchise?</i> The thing you have to remember is that by doing...

Rev. George

Lifted from another thread: Well, would anyone be interested in geting one made for you in stainless? Not just the face, but the entire helm? I have it set up, but I need to get a totl of 20 orders together first. Total price is $150 forthe first run, but I am only asking $100 down. More details at:...
