You guys are a riot. I love your high res portrayal of insane noblemen. Very living history. Don't encourage them! The next stage is riding into each other's lands and hacking down some peasants. The place could do with a few less peasants. They're revolting, you know? They stink on ice. Ah, Nissan...

Those are either all sold or not in stock. That's why I said "right now".

I am not going to comment for myself on this thread, only say that a new person on a household list I am on summed how I feel about this thread perfectly when he said: "If I were new, and had not met so many awesome people, and had read this thread it would make me question if I really want to...

Anyone selling any right now?

pinch the trim lock down tight with a pair of pylers, working your way around the shield. I usually use some duct tape over the corners but as Brother Amos said, wrapping and gluing the canvas over it works fine. I tend to overdue things....

Armoured fighters ranges from 5-25 depending on if we call in the surrounding groups. Most weeks range from 5-12. Unstructured with the exception of occasional mellee tra...

I got the knees you sent me when I got home yesterday.

Glad you got them! I realized you were at Raganock only after you had left. Thanks for putting that stuff in the mail.

me too please.

I think it is amazing how many people do not understand that raccoons are omnivorous and will eat your cats and chickens if they can. A lot of city people figure they just eat the eggs. Oh yeah. One of the scarest moments for me was when a racoon turned on us at a dumpster and charged at me and my ...

I have a lot of possum stories, sadly.

I once hit one with my car. Not only did the damn thing live, it punctured a hole in the sidewall of my tire, completely destroying it.

Hate em.

BdeB

BUMP.

Many years ago I once had a possum that would come around and eat the cat food on the back stoop. Being wild, it didn't want to eat out of the metal tray the food was in, so at about 4am every morning it would smack the tray (right outside my bedroom window) with it's paw until it had knocked it dow...

Blessing on your house!

m I am so impressed. I ordered a buckle on line for a belt I am making on thursday afternoon...I had it in my hands on Saturday! WOW! I just don't expect that from an SCA merchant. This buckle is wonderful, cleaner looking lines than other guys stuff and at a much lower cost. Highest recommendations.

Thanks for all you do, Ursus!

Mistress Cunian of Ponte Alto was another, and was also made a Kraken herself.

Ah crap, sorry I missed that!!!!

Thanks to everyone that showed up. No idea on the number of fighters, fencers, etc. but it was a big turn out. I think there were 660 on site, with another 100 that pre-reg'ed by were afraid of rain (it rained a bit on friday night, nothing serious, and then was hot as blazes). Winners as I remember...

I figured like I have to do with other applications, I would put down a white base coat and then cover that with the gold paint.

Thanks, Your Grace!

Ok, so I have to make a squire's belt. I have a red one already dyed, but what i'd like to be able to do is stamp it with fleurs de lis and paint them gold. (No suggestions for yellow leather dye please, i've had nightmarish experiences with yellow dyes, and i'd much rather use gold acrylic paint.) ...

The weekend looks good for fighting all day saturday and sunday. It's a blast, ya'll come!

There was a ton of Talent on the Non AE side that is for sure. There were a few really good folks on the AE side, but not nearly enough. Another suggestion for AE to look at is some of their unbelt 'commanders' out there giving orders. (I can understand how guys like this feel they need to step up s...

He might also be seeing the ultra-cheesy unpadded polearms that folks like to use and just think they are spears. *shrugs* Probably. I am still getting used to the SCA weapons. A long stick is just a long stick to me. I have no idea what its trying to replicate. That's ok, those that use them don't...

BdeB

JvR - You might be looking at spears trying to bat poles or other spears out of the way, or drop on the top of a shield to "hook" it. Sloppy technique to do that, but it happens, especially in a crush/tight melee. EVERY once in a while, you find someone who trie to whack someone in the he...

We were told that your Kingdom uses "touch to the face" conventions now at BSR. Or at least, that is what they wanted to throw at us and have us take. It was shockingly different from Pennsic.

Bryce- my issues are currently under control.

If you keep hitting a pell hard (esp. an unpadded one) they won't be for long. You monkie you.

Stop that.

I doubt I can get an email for him but I can get you a phone number if you really need it. PM me.

Anybody wanna do a repair job for me?

With all your tendon and joint issues, why the hell are you hitting a pell hard?!?

Bryce, do you know if there will be children's activities at Sapphire? I'd like for my Lady to be able to enjoy the event to its fullest (maybe even fight!), preferably sans our little anklebiter. There will be children's activites at Sapphire but they are not a babysitting service. I'm fairly cert...
