That's a fantastic helm. Well worth that price. I know Sir Richard's work and have held many of his helms in person, but that one looks like the eye slots are too big...maybe it's just the face behind it that causes a perspective issue. I assume that this is not the case?

1. How many years have you been actively fighting B+S? 3 years 2. What size buckler do you use? 14" I think...the small one from Mandrake 3. What construction materials? Did you make it or buy it? See above 4. Who is the best B+S fighter you've ever seen? Uh..... gosh, I never even thought about it ...

Morgan

Wow! Tomas is better than Blankenshield....only had to say his name TWICE!

Sir Kenneth's new man at arms is the 17 year old Eoghan McCollough. I do not recall the name of Gideon's charge, but a fine young man full of confidence he is indeed!

Morgan

Yes, that indeed is me.

Well met!

Immediately upon my elevation to the Order of Chivalry a couple weeks back, it was my distinct and singular honor to be pulled back into my role as Royal Herald by His Majesty Ansteorra to call forward my squire brother, Tomas Niallagain, who was then announced to be placed on vigil for elevation at...

Thanks Owynn Greenwood for the very fast response.

Hey all...I'm looking for a simple utilitarian white belt with buckle (no rings) for the practice field and so on. NOTHING fancy, no embelishments, just a white belt with buckle. A simple tip would be fine as well, but nothing more. 60" or maybe a little longer would be fine. Anyone have such a thin...

Morgan

I love it when they run torchlight tournies in the day time.

Morgan

You absolutely ROCK. Wait...that'd make you Rockin' Robyn....

At any rate, those pics are ab-fab, and I can't wait to show them to a few kids that are thinking our fighting looks a little too tough!

You should listen to your Knight, Malcolm. He is a tripple peer after all...that means he knows LOTS of ways to get out of things. Squires are so cute at that age. PROVE THAT! He's got THREE peerage meetings to go to. How's that "getting OUT" of ANYTHING? I say it proves he's one of the slowest men...

Real men don't whine, they just find ways to win.

Yeah, I have to tell you, "larger" doesn't equate to the events you would feel less welcomed at. You wouldn't have had a problem at Steppes Warlord. But you might not have been as welcome at a high persona event with a modern trailer "disguised" if you know what I mean. You'd take it on an event-by-...

Morgan

I'm not sure why anyone would have a problem with it. I can see that you'd be more limited in what sites you'd be able to go to, but not too badly in Texas and Oklahoma. Sounds like an EXPENSIVE proposition. But that's your business decision, not mine.

Not a whole ton to add....late to the party and all that. There's a TITANIC difference between a really bad bruise and a torn ACL. I'll tell people to suck it up when they THINK they're tired or something but this is quite totally different. I pushed myself pretty hard thru my shoulder surgery and b...

Chance? I know how, I just want a chance... One ride cancelled, another popped up... I adamantly refuse to just LET someone of your skill and power hit me.

Not that there's anything WRONG with that....

Good job on the helm man.

Morgan

If you're here and in armour, you get a chance to hit me. I'm only saying that my arm is a bit weak, so I'm not doing too much bone-crushing. LOL

Morgan

I was very pleased to see Morgan so honored, he's a good man and deserves it. I have fond memories of both facing off against him and standing with him in battle. It's perhaps best that I not be there to see him elevated, I would be mightily tempted to put on armour to face him again and that would...

Morgan

That's all right my friend. We'll catch up sometime soon enough. I believe calontir is doing the known world rattan thing again... you should plan on being there.

he forgot to mention it was blows retained. So if Jean Paul and I were fighting, and I hit him 3 times and he me me 5, I'd leave the field, get 1 point, and he'd get 2, but when his next opponent came on the field, they started of 0-3. So even an awesome fighter couldn't hold the field for turn afte...

Huh.... Well, looks like fun. If I didn't like getting hit hard and hitting hard, I'd be tempted.

It does look like they hit pretty well as hard as they can. Check out the GenCon video.

Of course no head shots. BUt they shield bash and grapple.

Morgan

The main problem with helms Im noticing is I can spend 2 days on a helm and make less than $300 for the company, while in 2 days i can pull out parts my guys have made up and complete probably 60 sets of spaulders in that same two days and put them instock. At a low end of $40 thats $1200 in 2 days...

Morgan

Think of it as a cross between fencing and heavy fighting. Steel swords, cuts and thrusts, just not anywhere near as hard as heavy combat.

And thanks for the info. I was in contact with His Grace Tarrach and he said he'd keep me abreast.

Wow, I'd put all my sheckles on Hrodir...almost came thru for me. Ah well, that's gambling! Congrats Northshield. Hrodir was announced and put on vigil for the order of the Chivalry.

Thus proving at least half of the "Do all these good things and does anyone notice? But screw ONE goat...." thing.

a vigil, soon an elevation in Ansteorra, and a GRAND EVENT!
