You always see alot of the "best unbelt" or whatnot... I'm going for a different approach... What are your newbies like? Tell us about one of the guys from your area who has been fighting for under a year... I'll start. We have a new fellow who is currently going by Frederich von Lichtenstien. Fred ...

Leather half gauntlet from House of Wolf Leather, that I modified slightly... with a aluminum cuphilt from Illusion armoury on my sword.

I also have a stainless half gauntlet from d'Antioch that I use when I wanna look spiff.

You really should grow your hair back. Long hair looks so much cooler. Have you considered a mane of curly, sandy-blonde, sexy hair? Cause, that would look much better. Thats what I decided to do with the whole "hair" thing. Bald... eh... its ok I suppose... I think Winterfell has a support group fo...

My dad and I use the same one that Halberds uses, when we work on the cars in the garage during the winter.

One of those guys will heat up a two car garage to the point where you're sweating within an hour.

Here is the text from Jeff's AotM submission. It concerns this helm, which is his October entry... It is a bascinet and visor of 1050 hardened spring steel. Both the bascinet and the visor were raised from welded cones. The pomme and visor pivots are gilt with gold. The vervailles I had cast in bras...

I prefer wood, but they tend to get blown to pieces just as I'm getting used to using it.

So, I tend to go back to my aluminum heater in between wooden shields.

Broadway

Mattmaus, I think Eyvander would be the first person to tell you that early period armour can be some serious bling as well:

x-reply...

Can we get a couple teaser excerpts from the books?

Broadway

Perhaps you could tease us with a page?

Broadway

I think this one has been posted before... but it always cracks me up.

Broadway

I hadn't seen it yet... so thanks good Baron!

Broadway

Sir Bryan/Dammuth told me on Sunday that he quit his job last week, so all he had to do between now and crown was practice.

So, you can slide him up into the confirmed list.

Broadway

You cut the bone shaped tag off Animal.

Broadway

You can get em for free... just go down to the local vet, and ask for the used collar bin. When they "put to sleep" the family pet, they toss the collars into a big ol' cardboard box... and they normally toss em... So you can get all the leather collars you want for free... Recycling on a Soylent Gr...

Er... forgot to respond to my own question. I played 10 years of soccer, from the YMCA league up in Delaware at age 7 through senior year in High School... Mostly played goalie, and left fullback. I wrestled in jr. high and high school as well. I don't really know if either helped or not... as I don...

Broadway

But do all orders to Stonekeep Armoury have to be done while in the nude? MOST of us are definately not as attractive as robyn. Those definately do look like self-portraits. Well, when I started posting on the archive, I was told that not only did all orders have to be done in the nude, but all the...

Purty damn cool.

Menacing looking...

You should dye the tan parts a dark red...

I won't argue the point with ya Matt. You asked, that's my answer.

Greetings! This past weekend, I was talking to Sir Bryan of Sacred Stone about field awareness in battles... he said that he has always been very aware of what is going on around him during melees because of the several years that he played basketball in school. He said that the awareness of what wa...

Broadway

Honestly? Cause I've seen you fall off the face of the planet too many times. I've been real close to ordering something, only to re-think my decision due to your past.

Same reason I've not ordered anything from SirBrand since he started cranking out armour again.

Broadway

There was nothing anti-renn. with what I said... it was anti-dumb-poll.

Broadway

Or focus on one persona and get it as close as you can...

Broadway

Regardless of why you started this thread, that poll looks dumb-as-hell.

No clones?

Nobody said anything about a "no clones" rule.

I'd make 9 clones of William Thomas.

Alrighty Jeff. Sorry.

Broadway

Eversburg wouldn't know if something was period if he had a time machine.

Broadway

I'm fairly certain you're wrong about alot of stuff you just said there... O.K. First off, I know the SEM, we aren't super close, but I know him. He is an awfully smart and good guy and isn't likley to have done anything just to make people mad. I also have a difficult time thinking this was an arbi...

I was thinking that the "heavy leather" shield strap, would count...

It covers my elbow...
