Far out. I really like the "feel" of the piece.

One Qusetion:
What are they charging at?

Ceddie

Unless there is some great outcry against 'knee-walking' or a pattern of injury, why mess with it? In truth, I'd like to see knee-fighting go away ( I have fought with the Avalon rules in a small tourney and I liked it a lot). I know change comes from experimentation but this seems like an odd windm...

Which kingdoms should we be in continuity with? Ansteorra, who has a similar rule? Or should we be more in line with Meridies and Calontir who do not? Maybe we could put it to a vote The more we deviate from a standard rule set the more we open ourselves to confusion, misunderstanding and hard feel...

Making rules regarding whether or not someone can walk around on one's knees like a drunk, armored frat boy has absolutely nothing at all to do with whether this is a "sport of dominance" or "one of sissy ass tag youre it conventions". It also has nothing to do with reality. What I see it as being ...

I recommend the Ashcroft/Backer Hilts to ANYONE on a budget. They are strong, solid and dependable but they are a bit heavy. If you are going to go with steel basket and can afford it, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d go with m the Thag-5 is not a bad choice/ The Baldar cuphilt isnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t a bad choice. I like to have t...

I use a 200lb shield all the time, I call him squire!!!

Thanks!

Does anyone have a pattern for a salt shaker helm that they are willing to share?

thanks

Ceddie

I don't know about a Dr. view point but I HAVE been "legged" in a real fight. (An axe handle to the inside of the knee.)
I was done.
no more fight.

If authenticity is your goal, call it a fight ender.
If we are going to be authentic, I want to shoulder check and leg sweep.

Ceddie

Well, at best one could ask that the question be narrowed down a bit
Or if you think it is "Troll Bait" just leave it alone.
I see no reason to trash someone just because you don't like their question or (even less tolerant) the way they ask it.

Thank you.

Ceddie

that's a but much, don't you think?

Ceddie

First things first, this will not be in effect for Gulf Wars. We had out first fighter's collegium as a kingdom last weekend, and a new ruling was started. This is not set in stone, as our Earl Marshal Sir William is going to get feedback. The rule is that if you loose your leg in combat, you are p...

Get the DVD. The next time you feel like going out to get a bite to eat, make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and watch the DVD. You just saved yourself what you spent on the DVD.

Um, I didn't think I could hit hard enough to break my stick but I did. Between the guy's unarmored shoulder blades. Said he never felt a thing.

If I may ask:
How did you hit him between the unarmored shoulder blades?

Ceddie

How about tin-foil.

I looked at these a bunch, If I could get my meathooks in them I'd buy them in a heart beat!

William, If you'd like we can take a pic and get it up here this week.

these are a STEAL at this price!!!

Ceddie

Well we have done some horse traiding and the small one fits my wife and I know a guy who will fit the larger one so even though Steve has already said we can send them back for a full refund, we wont' need to!!!

Ceddie

I have been making 14th century eating knives and utensils as well..
will post a pic as soon as I can locate one from our last LH camp.

Ceddie

I agree with your entire review. My squire and I both got the helms (Large for me and Normal for him) and we both love the helms... but...they just don't fit.

Does Steve do refunds?
I'll be calling too.

Ceddie

I ordered Henri's roundel dagger with some slight modifications from what he posted here, I wanted a double edge and brass hardwear. service: He had is ready ahead of schedule! He changed the price to LESS than the quote, cause to didn't have to lay out as much as he expected. He kept me informed of...

No acted out wounds.

That aventail won't fit your helmet.
