I find a dagger excellent for those sad times when I have been armed in a mellee. Having normal non-Tars Tarkas like arms, I do occasionally need it and it has produced some epic stories. Dont stab a siege weapon with it. They get pretty grumpy about that. Besides, I like a knife fight! Evidence: m

It is almost as if a SCA knight could brutally murder someone like his spouse go to prison for twenty years and keep his Knighthood only losing it posthumously after a stink was made about him. Could something like that really happen. You are moshing a couple of stories together there. Aoghous did ...

Alaric wasn't in the SCA in the Carter years. Hah! :shock: :lol:

What happened then was that large kingdoms started to split into principalities and then into new kingdoms, i.e. Atlantia from the East.

Not that that would ever happen again....

If the shot powers through a block and still connects with good enough force for a good hit, the shot is good and should be called as such. The marshal should not have been calling shots in the first place. That is correct on both counts. It's up to the person struck to call a blow and if a shot hi...

I second Tentsmiths, top notch quality and customer service. (I do not suggest you purchase thier poles however, but rather make them, or get Panther to make them for you.) Also I suggest a marquee rather than a regent. That's what I'll be getting this year. See you soon.
