I got blindsided by work. Couldn't bring the CD last night. Sorry.

Heh! That didn't take long! As it should be. Your kit has long inspired envy.

Indeed, one of the greatest stresses during a deed of arms is that it is often an imposition over the events of the day, and if they are not hurried along, then they can be seen as a delay of the day's doings. For my part, I would have liked to have had a minstrel to play a song to draw a crowd nigh...

Okay, so Painter requires some editing. And some intelligent reading--this of course goes to show the peril of a single source world-view. Regarding King Rene, there is discussion here about whether there was ever an actual Rene format tournament ever held, or whether his book is a guidebook to be t...

I will hound my friend until I am sure that he has seen it. I myself would like it, for myself, but since I cannot have it, then I would like for my friend to have it, or at least have a shot at it.

I will bring a CD tomorrow (Tuesday).

Ulrich, I make no apology for my hat. It will be the cause of many deeds of arms, I am sure, which is intended! : )

I don't like plastic. Plastic is often an ugly expedient. That said, I have an Egg Armory kydex half gauntlet that is only now, after four years, being replaced by a steel one. My knight, Sir Vitus, uses a plastic globose breastplate to achieve the pigeon-breast torso profile under a rockin' lentner...

I am interested. I will need arms and armor for men at arms, eventually.

It would be difficult, but not impossible, to interest my wife in such an expenditure, but I have friends who can and would drop the cash for this in a moment, if it strikes them.

I guess the point I was getting to was: Are you preparing yourself for a highly scrutinized museum presentation level of accuracy or are you informing yourself for general recreation. For the latter, Painter's mistakes get into the realm of esoterica--certainly if one swallowed Painter whole and wit...

I have some photos, need a host.

To my Good Cousin Lachlann, squire of His Grace Duke Kane, Knight, does Jehan de Pelham, servant of Sir Vitus give greetings, and prayers for all good things, and the health and joy of your lady, Ysabeaux, and says further, I have been overlong in replying, for we laid my grandsire to rest in the bo...

Titanium is dang near the perfect material for lamellar, from a sport/art approach, being both light and good looking. Talk about a sharp bit of armor that is professional grade.

This looks like a good book. For $60 it better be cloth--ah, (hb), okay, I guess it is.

I knew enough to understand his errors, and forbore them to get at the kernels of truth. This, I believe, is what's called not letting your head get in the way of knowledge.

Give the bootleggers the green boot! Support the virus!

P.S.: AMAZED no-one corrected me!

What a great time. Lachlann, well played old man! Look forward to your account.

I have seen that middle helmet on the field.

I am probably going to buy several of these Target X-chairs to have handy for hospitality. No matter how cool your set up is, some well meaning guest is going to plop out a Coleman chair in the middle of your panoply.

The SCA ring belt phenomena is not even in the same league as these other aberrations mentioned.

What a great day! The day of meeting for Lachlann, squire of His Grace the Duke Kane, and myself, to do a deed of arms for posession of the couter which Sir Johannes gave to me, draws nigh. It is good to have the tale of such deeds to inspire me.

I had lost track of time. I thank you.

I am eager to know the outcome of the meeting of Sir Johannes and Jean Paul, Sieur des Sens. Did anyone clap eyes upon their deed at Lillies War?

I am anxious to know what deeds of arms in friendship were done! Did anyone capture images?

The time draws nigh. The box is made, and the couter housed within. The letters are being written into the book. In a dozen days the squire of His Grace Duke Kane Redfeather, and the squire of Sir Vitus von Atzinger, they will contend together in a deed of arms for the advancement of the honor of th...

That explains a lot about shots that I know struck shield, but still hit me with force.

Captain Tom, your deeds at Midrealm Crown Tournament were mighty!

God help me, I desire to fly from the duty of my estate and see this deed!
