I'd put a bucket under that table, and have a clam bake.

Welcome to the Archive Wilhelm Schwartze Leopard, First off, the Madu itself is a touchy subject here, so you might get some crazed responses on this. But, yeah, I've noticed that alot of folks, in this part of Atlantia at least, have a broad definition of Madu. I've often heard folks refer to the a...

Broadway

They have already been mentioned, so I'm not adding much other than my opinion...

I like Bedford Points and Bearpits...

I'm also a big fan of basic double elimination tourneys.

I absolutely hate tourneys that handicap the fighter at random, or set intervals.

Broadway

Yeah. Solid color.

The background is very "busy" and makes the page hard to look at, and the text hard to read.

Duby was cheap at Amazon... So were a few other things... I need to stop online shopping for today, right this minute! I just bought: William Marshal : The Flower of Chivalry - Georges Duby Age of Chivalry (Story of Man Library) - National Geographic Chivalry - Maurice Keen With that purchase, the "...

but Brown's delivery efforts leaves much to be desired.

After dealing with armourers, one just chalks up poor delivery efforts as the natural way of the universe.

Broadway

Groovy... I just bought:

William Marshall: Knighthood, War and Chivalry, 1147-1219
Ulrich Von Liechtenstein: The Service of Ladies
Ramon Lull's Book of Knighthood and Chivalry

Should keep me occupied this winter after I finish the three books I'm reading now.

Bryce, is this it? William Marshall: Knighthood, War and Chivalry, 1147-1219 by David Crouch A welcome new edition of Crouch's detailed yet accessible biography of one of the most prominent figures in Plantagenet history, `the Marshal', who served and fought for Henry II and each of his sons before ...

I'm reading Knights at Tournament from Osprey Pub., and came across this passage: The best reference to the tournament at this time is the biography of William Marshal, who became Marshal of England. The work was written in the second quarter of the 13th century by the old man's squire with the help...

I would like to call dibs on the prototype... how much? Or is it taken?

Broadway

What we want is stainless greaves...

5. When throwing a snap, the proper technique should cause the sword hand to turn palm up very early in the swing - preferably at the start. How do you do this without telegraphing the shot? And... with #4 mentioned above, how do you switch to a offside in a smooth curve, after starting the flat wi...

My local fight practice is 45 minutes from my house. That is not an unreasonable distance. I know tons of folks who commute longer distances to work each day. Carpool with your buddy. As far as learning from them, and then skipping out at a later point... When you start fighting with them on a regul...

My question is will this stuff work as well as I think it will? No. It will not. It will break away and crumble under impact, and all the extra work you put into each ring will dissappear in a heartbeat. If so is painted chain mail historic at all? Doesn't matter... because if you paint your mail, ...

so anyways back on topic, around how much would you guys say this would cost me?

$10,000

Did you notice that the new "hip" word in the latest MRL cataloge was "Landknecht"? Landknecht dagger, landknecht sword, landknecht jerkin... If you want something Landknecht from MRL, then buy a shirt two sizes too small for you, and cut slashes into it until it fits. Next month the new catch phras...

That would be the eastern part Christian. We live in the Western part.

That's why they call it "Western North Carolina"

If you're going to nitpick on spelling, your Grace... the first word of every sentence should be capitalized.

I completely disagree with Signo... dive in, buy everything you want, and build some neato armour...

Forget baby steps... jump in head first.

Welcome. First off, what's a shandy-drinker? ToMAR is a good first step. Another reference that isn't mentioned much, but I think is an awesome resource for a beginner is Valantine's Armouring Video. Being able to see the stuff being made, helps alot. And there are some neat shortcuts in that video ...

Along with a one line synopsis, you might ask for a mundane time/location of a fighter practice that each attends.

Guillaume, picture the triangle of mail, pulled up over his nose, and attached to the hinge on his bascinet.

Why the need for catchy phrases? "Positive Mount" "Direct Touch" ?

Why not just say "Directly riveted to the helm"

Is there a charge per word on new rules? We writing telgraphs here?

I'm just happy that I've got a 1/2" strap kevlar chinstrap riveted directly to my helm.

In the example above, I don't think you should be dropping back into your gaurd at all. It was at the end of a combo, and I was simply snapping back to a start position for the next flurry... The moment I'm talking about is a split second where you catch the guy maybe, glancing down at the ground, ...

Similar question... Is it wrong, or unchivalrous to do the following... You're fighting a man in a tourney, and you clock him with a shot, and pull back to your guard... and the man says nothing, but you can tell he is thinking over the shot... is it wrong to simply clock him in the head, while he i...

Alrighty... I gotta ask for just a tiny bit of clarification on this story. Are you saying a fictional character from a book did this to you? A person dressed as a fictional character from a book?
