I disagree, this subject needs to stay right here.

Darkheart's prices are actually, really reasonable...

On a scene dominated by touch combat it makes the SCA look violent. Right. Swordplay... is supposed to be violent. Violence is a good thing. You are trying to kill somebody. this sort of video does NOT help recruitment when people do a net search for the SCA. I dissagree. I believe this video helps...

Can you etch stainless?

Broadway

You guys have never placed an order for a pair of legs, and the armourer messed up and sent you two of the same leg? Then you says "hey man! that's two of the same leg!" and they send you one of the other leg and say "go ahead and keep the extra."

that's never happened to you guys?

Broadway

I'm standing... this is last weekend.

Broadway

You're armour-fu is strong mattmaus...

The table you made looks awesome sitting next to my chair, right by my front door.

Broadway

Yeah... if we did the Wiki idea here...

How long would the thing be up before somebody came along and deleted the whole section on combat archery and replaced it with the line:

"No Archery."

Broadway

We can actually do that here.

We can set up a forum, with one thread, give everybody ability to edit everybody elses posts (on that one forum... basically set permissions up all silly)... put up a thread with the rules, and then...

Have at you!

Vitus could do it...

Broadway

I have been saying that for years, up the poundage on bows, go to a siloflex arrow, toss out the unsafe shafts and super light "I can pull this thind all day" bows. But, I seem to get ignored every time I talk to an archer. In Trimaris, we actually reduced the poundage required. There were instance...

Just bored and playing devils advocate... "Marshalls are the ones that keep us ...

Broadway

Eff... where does it say that the padding has to be attached?

Also, where does it say that if you are armoured sufficiently with one of the three choices, that you cannot hang... say... a spare tire around your neck?

Broadway

We don't already have something like this in place?

Broadway

There were a bunch of people out there wearing very light or very poorly maintained mail drapes which allowed easy weapon access to the throat (either under the mail, or - more problematically - simply by displacing it). What of folks that wear helms with poorly maintained bargrills? (for instance,...

Broadway

What would you like to trade for the Medium size pair?

Broadway

If one by itself is good without the other... Then one is good with half the other... If A without B is good enough for C Then A with any part of B also good enough for C Unless... a light mail drape, or a heavy mail aventail (either without padding), suddenly makes a padded gorget that it is coveri...

Broadway

Wait... you were involved in writing the rules... the actual words... and you just said... "Never mind the comma"

You just did that?

You realize that the 'words' part and the 'commas' were important right?

Broadway

Where's Effingham or Val? We have professional editors on the board.

Probably avoiding this thread like the plague...

They'll get pissy with you if you start keeping them.

3. A camail or aventail of mail or heavy leather, lined with 1/4 inch (6mm) of closed-cell foam or equivalent padding. So, I'm looking at this, and looking at this, and looking at this... Couldn't this, still be read as: 3. - A camail or - aventail of mail or - heavy leather, lined with 1/4 inch (6...

Broadway

So let me get this straight: If I do not wear a cuisse I am fine and dandy and my thigh can be legally pounded into hamburger. If I do decide to put a 10g plate of steel on my thigh, I need a 1/4" of padding to make it legal? So if no armor is neccesary, what exactly is the padding for? If I read t...

Broadway

So it looks right.

I want to live in the world you live in... you get to eat cake at every meal and never get fat don't you?

Broadway

I don't wear a gorget.

Broadway

Can we set a date, like sometime in 2008... an official "no more rule's changes after this point" date? I'm fairly certain, that if I make a blue foam gorget to wear under my aventail, I'll be ok... But when I get a seamstress to sew up a padded linen collar to wear under my aventail... how many "eq...

Broadway

So I do have to pad my aventail... I guess I'll make a collar of blue foam for this weekend.

Broadway

So, a chain aventail with no padding is still acceptable?

Cause that's what I use, and I'd hate to change it...

Broadway

I'll give ya $5 whole American dollars for it.
