I love that the battle that had that in the rules this year at Pennsic was blattenly ignored/avoided by the fighters. Kneewalking to simulate horses one of the dumbest most disrespectful load of crap I've seen in the SCA and I refuse to be a part of it.

BdeB

My least favorite battle characteristics: mandatory kneewalking for some class of participant make-believe tactical features (most typical example: "this 14" tall hay bale is really a corner of a wall you can't spear over." Put a damn post there! ) More rules than can be explained in...

BdeB

Nope. Despite the FB campaign to change my mind.

BdeB

I wouldn't make that bet....

I don't think I've ever had fun in a Castle Battle. Lots of standing around and lots of holds.

I also hate Bridges (again for the standing around waiting to do something), but I have had a lot of fun in them.

From Their Majesties: "Unto Our Barons and Baronesses, worthy Peers, and Our true and noble subjects do Cuan and Padraigin, King and Queen of the Atlantians, send greetings this 28th day of September AS XLVI. Know that We intend to to cause to be held at the end of the first week of November up...

Stetsons, cowboy boots and a THONG, get it right there, Boyo!

I think that you can change the Stetson to a Fedora, but then you have to fight Whip and Gun, just like Indy.

"Here we are my friends at the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, step inside, step inside!" Ah it's the return of my favorite Bi-Annual Event, the Running of the Bulls...wait, what? While the format for this Crown is to be the same as last crown I hope that we won't see...

Wow. It's a video to a song that meant to be funny . Aaron thought the words to the song (and I agree 100%) were inspirational. The video itself is just a funny story showing the folly of man. Good Grief. Yeah it might be clownish at times, but he keeps fighting. And that's why everyone is at the do...

This has been my theme for a number of years. The best part of this video that you don't know about is that the "Great Big Biker Man" that knocks his lights out @ 3:25 is Big Dave Mattey, former Baron of Black Diamond, Atlantia, now professional actor and stunt man. So yes, this is the pe...

Thank you all. His Majesty and I worked very closely to design something that was different and a lot of fun. The arm sashes for the Anglo-Breton and the Franco-Breton sides that His Majesty had made were an excellent touch that added a lot of class. The MOL staff was AMAZING too for the tourney. Ju...

Badass!

I'd offer the same advice I give to every new fighter on night #1, and it also comes from Duke Anton: "We are, all of us, 100% responsible for how much we choose to Suck." I.E. Your progress and your training and motivation are up to you. If you don't care, no one else will. It's both bad ...

This makes me all squishy inside.

Yeah. Facebook is even worse for that. I don't really blog anymore. Shame because I used to really enjoy it!

Depending on your approach to the rules and your kingdom standards I think the word you meant to say was "Horrified" ...as in Try it you will be horrified!

Valsgard has a good one out there somewhere, haven't read it in a while.

Hey look, proof I was in armour this war! I was beginning to think it was all just a bad dream!!! m If you're trying to make me feel guilty, Bryce, it ain't gonna work. You get more than enough exposure from me, and you ain't that pretty. (Sorry, Melisent, but I gots to call 'em like I see 'em....)...

Just find out where your cousin Billy-Bob takes his 30 year old truck with no muffler to get it inspected. When my truck failed last year, thats what I did... First guy: "I'm sorry, but there are some issues." Second guy: "a'Yup. Looks good." This guy is that guy. At least they ...

BdeB

Be careful with that. Inspection is what is screwing me into the ground. That and being without power since saturday.

BdeB

And now life has kicked me squarely in the balls and I can not attend. Feh.

HA!

Drama.

There was a "Put up your Dukes" tourney that was open to Royal Peers only this year. I wonder if anyone got footage from that?

Well....there hasn't been a Best of the Best fought in many, many years so....

I didn't know Michael's squires wear black and white belts (any design? Ermined?) or the Fleurs/chapes on your squire belts. But any day I don't learn something knew, is a day I stayed in bed. -Cian To be fair the fleurs on mine are TINY. You wouldn't see them unless you were upclose. Here is a vid...

You are a fool. A Moon over my Hammy??? Pure delight!

I can't think of any other odd colored belts, but if like (once again, going completely hypothetical here), if I knew that Sir Bryce DeByram gave his squires red/gold checky belts, I would also veer away from it. Not necessarily because I'm afraid of any sh*tstorms, but because I feel it would be d...
