Leo, you beat a PM from a fellow named Straum by 4 minutes. So, you've got first dibs, he's got second. Do you have a picture of the crosshilt and pommel? Or, if they are exactly like the windrose ones in the pic, I'll take your word for it. PM me your addy and I'll get it in the mail today.

Just been going through my stuff, and refining my gear... I've got this stainless 1/2 gauntlet made by Count Morgan d'Antioche, that I got several years ago, and have only used once. I like it, but I just never think to use it. Its just the one gaunt. I normally fight with a heater with basket, so I...

Precisely.

At least, thats how the cool kids do it.

Normally, varying from once practice a week and one event a month, down to 2 practices a month and one event every couple months. Depending on time of year.

Right now, not at all.

Adding to what Chef is saying, not replying to it: And this is the at least the second time this whole cycle has repeated itself. How long you figure before folks get tired of bitching, just give up on their money, and shut up, out of frustration of being told, "Hey, ok, you've said your peace,...

You're just jealous of my creativity. I will be glad to meet any of you with stick or steel so that you can attempt to achieve some sort of satisfaction, if that's what you'd like. I'd be worried that we'd get into the middle of the fight, and you'd get all depressed and quit... then go off to find...

Tell us how you really feel. Let it out. Don't hold back. This is not written as a "Knight" of the SCA, but as a guy who's simply had his fill. It will be irrational of course as most emotional digressions are. So forgive the following rant but there's a certain point where even I have to ...

Ponzi armouring.

You were doing the kicking.

Broadway

Look, Nachoes, what I think, is you were kicking a guy who was already on the ground. I think you have a limited knowledge of the situation, and still feel the need to jump on somebody about it. Mayhaps it has something to do with your experiences defending Waldryk (a very similar situation), or som...

Sometimes I go play golf with my buddies, and if they don't collect whatever I owe em from betting on holes before we get off the course, I don't pay em, cause that was "golf fantasy land".

No, no, no... that parts "real world". Pay attention.

Nakos, beating a dead horse is more noble, that whatever the hell you just did.

Broadway

Ideval, I think you're reading that backwards.

Its real money.

But, if you run into Brand at an SCA event, and he owes you real money, don't bring your real world anger into his SCA fantasy, it will harsh his mellow.

At least, that's how I'm reading it.

Cool. I dunno why I didn't hit wikipedia first... was just contemplating this morning, and thought, "hey! that's an excellent question for the research forum! betcha those guys know!"

I wear something similar to this - Click link I couldn't find the one I actually bought, its the same set up but solid grey.

Looks sweet.

I made one just like it for my round shield.

I was gonna say, the SCA, but then I remembered that we used magical arrows.

Broadway

Yes Sir. Thank you all for your commentary on the subject. Dante, Knights in the SCA don't fight with fire swords. Let's refocus all this energy into understanding the combat form you are already studying. Perhaps eventually with enough attention to your technique you will be able to throw a shot fa...

Could you tell me where to find this information? Also... if it is important enough to have an interpretation to point this out... I'd like to know how somebody interprets "no flaming swords" from a set of words that do not come close to mentioning swords on fire, or "non-approved liq...

How come?

As an SCA knight I would stronbgly advise you not to do this anywhere near any SCA event of official activity.

You and me both brother... I managed to get ahold of my high school file with the IQ results, which were fairly high once upon a time.

I really like how your shields are on fire too... I'll have to look through the SCA shield construction rules, and see if there is anything about how they can't be on fire. BTW... by no means do I think I'm the first guy to wanna do this... I appreciate you guys and others doing the same sort of thi...

Rod, if thats your first day fighting SCA... yeah, you could do pretty well at it.

Awsome getting to watch your prep. from start to beginning...

Broadway

Milan, that's genius. So, just coat the back of the blade, and its list legal.

Excellent.

So, now we're back to fire swords being perfectly list legal again.

Broadway

I'm not trying to wedge anything into the SCA. I just noticed that the ruleset for weapon construction looks like it allows it. I'm thinking they probably wrote them that way on purpose. I just need to address the 1/2" penetration issue. I'm gonna look into different forms of excellerant, in di...

Broadway

Canada is a bit of a drive for me.

Broadway

I suppose you could call a hold if the fight lasted along time and test them with a guage.

I'm thinking that by the time the excellerant is burned away, the actuall rattan won't burn. Seems like it would go out pretty fast.

Broadway

I wouldn't think that the flames are actually a part of the blade... they just happen to be floating around it.

Trade?
