Dag, you missed what I thought was the best Crown tourney in a long time, and I'd say that even if I didn't fight.

Koredono, you looked great. The difference in your appearance was astounding. Keep it up!

Dilan, no worries. I bellowed a couple times but there was a lot of ambient noise. Sometime later. Pennsic maybe?

We need an archiver meet/greet/beat at Pennsic.

Start now, by exposing yourself to heat. No, not like that. :P

Eschew air conditioning. Increase your cardiovascular workout at the gym. Fight harder, for longer. Go to the sauna, a lot. And drink water until you pee clear. And continue to do that.

Finding proper majolica

Morning!

The 'glassware' thread inspired me. I'm looking for dealers who might sell something close to proper late 1500's western euro majolica. Froogling the term 'majolica' doesn't seem to help. :?

One step closer to a Complete Proper Spanish kit. Gracias!

Freiman,

If they have the dwarves vs. giants battle (i think they usually do) you should send her to go play in that.

I used to own one of the .50 caliber hand-gonnes from Syke's. They might still sell them. Fantastic piece. I could have taken down a rhinocerous with that thing.
