I have to agree with WMA. I can name NUMEROUS armouries who've got nothing but positive reputations.

I'm glad it seems like Waldryk has gotten his back log cleared up, his work is terrific.

I think Waldryk has had some of the largest numbers of un-satisfied customers in terms of "I sent him the money and he hasn't sent me my stuff." I don't know if this has been fixed or not, and I've personally never had a problem with him. I do know one person who waited over a year for something tha...

I'd guess that's about as close as it gets, Bob. THere may be other reasons, but I'd think that a group that's more interested in historical manuals would be more interested, and those that tape on their armour and beat on each other without caring about history wouldn't be. And where a group is in ...

I'd disagree with you, Klangiron. I'd say, "They want to make money, THAT is why there's another re-write so you have to buy a new set of rules again." WoTC, TSR, whomever...doesn't matter. Companies are in it to make $$$.

TSR aren't the big boys. WoTC is the HUGE bully on the block, tho. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif I'd guess that putting a space in there might not make them happy. If they ever even find out about it. Since you're not doing any kind of gaming stuff, they may not give a damn. Best of luck!

I've heard that "take it if it's clean" thing before, but I'd disagree with it. The full explanation is usually, "Well, if the shot had good form and landed nice, and you didn't get any block on it, you should take it because it had good form." Well, no, not really. What if it had to be radically mo...

There are no email newsletters. Publications of the SCA must be paper. There can be an un-official calander online. I think every kingdom has one.

I'd say George is totally correct, particularily in his reasoning and the thing about the spun tops. Unless you try hard, I don't really think that steel gets all that much thinner when you work it into shape. Like I said, unless you TRY. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif

That arm should be behind the person's back and really about the only place that arm SHOULD get hit is in the upper arm/shoulder. I woudldn't consider that unchivarlous. If I take your arm, now I ...
