I wasn't being sarcastic.

I get it.

Roleplaying is dressing up like somebody, using the same kind of equipment they use, adopting their beliefs, etc...

Just what you said you did.

Perhaps you don't understand what roleplaying is.

Sure, its kinda like saying... Truthfully, I don't see myself as a plumber. I just like hooking copper pipes together in the subfloor of houses to divert water from the water line into sinks and bathtubs and such. I turn the water on occasionally, but never take a bath.

If I send you a pattern, and you can make it a 24x36 with 1/4 alum barstock welded on the outer inside edge, shield...

Then, I'd easily pay ya $200.

Can you make a 24x36 heater shield with 1/4 alum barstock welded on the outer inside edge?

And, if you could... say... with a 2" deep curve to the shield...

How much?

Again what about grappling, few SCA people know anything about it, even the modern style (which is not as different as you seem to think it is from medieval)


Now, come on James. Just because we don't do it while playing with the SCA doesn't mean we don't know anything about it.

Until you start using alot of close in holds, grabbing hilts and blades, and allowing grappling... rapier doesn't come near the intensity of Armoured Fighting.

I fight both, and enjoy both, but they are different beasts altogether.
