Re: A question about impeding blows.

Can I block a cross guard or pommel with my arm? My hand?
If so can I do the same to a basket?

Sometimes I take peoples swords away from them this way. I usually give them back.

Re: anyone making Japanese armor these days?

Probably the same way we all do, there is a *lot* of info on Eff's site. I have an advantage as I have a pretty extensive Japanese armour library and handled a fair few while I was there, so I don't *have* to use Eff as a primary source. It sure is easier though. :lol: Hey. I just remembered I was ...

Not if you need someone to fight. Nissan, I'm sure that you don't really mean this. You have never struck me as being short sighted. Warm bodies in miserable armor are a cheap fungible commodity. You get three or four new ones every time your group does a fighting demo. By contrast, person in good ...

I think Suzerain must be dead.

Seriously. He was having health issues and is unreachable by amy means I can find, short of going to Scotland and knocking on his door. Unfortunately for me he owes me a paid for sword.
