Grand Outlandish is happening right outside Albuquerque this coming week (Tuesday or Wednesday through the following Monday), so there might be last-minute rush of getting stuff together?

I know he's set up the shop there in years past.

You're going to move to Atenveldt and marry a duke?!

Thank you everyone. Especially Saritor, I didn't want you to have to go to the trouble of drawing it out, because it's going to get drawn on the roll by me. But thank you so much. I'm the Outlands Roll of Arms herald. I have a ton of clip art, so the most time-consuming part of that was putting it ...

Like so?

I briefly thought about it, but all of my interests put me at 1585-1600, so I'd've been post-period by the time I joined the SCA at 16. I've thought about my persona aging backwards -- wherein I move my persona's "birth date" further back to account for the age I would be in the 1585-1600 ...

He was listed by Greg Mele in the list of sources for the novice spear material that Greg's taught. I know Aemma and SSG also include Monte in the source list for the spear and pollaxe material. I know several other folks have copies of Monte's work -- Steve Hick, Matt Easton, I think there's a copy...

If you ship the item via UPS or FedEx, or even USPS with delivery confirmation, and you put the tracking info in to paypal when you mark the transaction/item as shipped, they'll automatically put it in when it shows it's been delivered. Or you can call the 800 number and they'll release the funds im...

We've gotten much more civilized!

Plus, the price of steel went up, so it's cheaper to deliver in the basket like that anyway.

If you wanted green and ermine, you could do on single black otter rampant that covered both parts of the field, since the black otter would contrast well with at least 50% of the field (the ermine part). The evil part of my mind is suggesting an otter sable on a flame proper, but PETA might come af...

I'll ask around. I know we have one guy who used to play around that time who has an eidetic memory. If he doesn't know, I don't know who would.

Damned Lynyrd Skynyrd re-enactment groups never get it right. :\

What was his SCA name?

I can ask around with some of the long-time players who were here at that time and see if any of them remember.

I am not able to get a lather out of the maille, but my soap is hard to lather anyway. What I CAN do is wet my hands, rub them on the maille, and wash my hands with the soap I get from the maille. Hmm. I look forward to the results of the experiments with the full shirt, when as as you do it. I'll ...

It would be for your own good.

Saritor

Doug, does the soap-painted side still lather a bit if you get it wet and rough it up some?

I'm wondering if the effect is mostly residue, or if it has something to do with the potassium salts that may be in the soap.

It's only his lineage of knighthood that's unbelted dukes.

(Cyrred and Alrik.)

Saritor

The Outlands has a number who were unbelted as Dukes. When His Majesty steps down in a couple of weeks, he will be the latest. Off the top of my head -- Duke Cyrred of Ashwood, Duke Kynan of Wyre Forest. Those are it. Johann was an unbelted Count, but a belted Duke. Kynan, Cyrred and Alrik will be ...

Take the book, a couple layers of clean paper (to protect the book) and lay it on top of a bed of activated/aquarium charcoal inside a sealed bag for a few days...maybe longer if it's in bad shape. Make sure the book doesn't have any active mold or dry mold spores on it first by wiping it down as mu...

I would never...well, hey. Would you look at that. Someone left a $50 on the counter there. Why don't you run over and grab that, and I'll hold on to this Rolex for you...?

It means that the body mechanics to drive your cuts integrate the torso movement with the movement of the feet. I've seen lots of guys give that lip-service without being able to actually do it. I've also found that Meyer does a MUCH better job of explaining that aspect than, say, Silver, or any of...

knitebee thats makes total sence, yes it is late.. much to late for heavy fighting i understand but for rapier or somthing of that nature i dont understand how it wouldnt be respected.

There is actual documentation for epee late 16th but its there. For epee? I'd be interested to see it, or at least hear about where to look. The epee, insofar as the history I'm aware of goes, is a 19th century "safety" reinvention of the epee du combat from the 18th and 19th century. By ...

You fence?

Nah. I don't really do anything in the SCA. No jobs, no activities. I just kind of show up.

Someone told me that you used to fence, though...

So it's fair to say that wraps and snaps appear in the period manuals, but just under different names? That's good to hear. Yes and no, but there are movements and mechanics analogous to them, so close enough for government work unless you can resurrect Fiore or Meyer and have them say "No, no...
