On the tenth day of October in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-five was brought into this world a giant among men. I speak not of his stature but of his impact on those who were touched by him. Never have I met person who knew him without having been deeply affected by him. This man...

peemed you

Ingvarr

Sorry it was so slow. I'll try to get a picture of it at Crown.

Ingvarr

Yeah, I believe they closed up late last year or early this year.

Ingvarr

They are reliable. I know them personally and they are great people. If they say they have it in stock, that's exactly what it means. They are a business, not a hobby. They had a brick and mortar in Tucson but I believe they closed and just do online now.

Way the hell overdue. Bought a banner from her for my Knight, almost a year ago. Price 5 Communication 5 Quality 5 Speed 5 Awesomenitude 11 I was holding off doing the review until I got a picture of it, but the event it came out the first time, pictures didn't happen and events have been scarce for...

Aesa, you guys should come to Estrella. We have fun, not lawyers. This is some of the most ridiculous crap I've heard and another check in the "Reasons I don't really care about going to Pennsic" column. Sir Vitus, even when I don't agree with what you say, I can generally see your side of...

Ingvarr

That could be just describing the shape.

Ingvarr

Definitely. If we don't meet in the list, we need to still make sure we fight. It's about a three day drive for you, isn't it?

Ingvarr

I was talking with a friend about doing something at Estrella, loosely based on Pennsic's COTT. He suggested the Battle of Lake Peipus which is mid 13th century Rus vs Teutonic Knights. Going for a moderately high appearance standard for both kit and weapons. Are you planning on going to Estrella, a...

IIRC, The Dark one has retired or at least is on sabbatical, so here's the September Crown List for Atenveldt. Greetings all at their Glorious Majesties request the following individuals will be fighting in the next Crown list. For Honor and Chivalry! Belted Fighters: Baron Mst Sir Tighearnain the H...

Hard to argue with that.

It's a yahoo.com email address. Odds are that 50 years after you die of old age, the address will still be valid. Doesn't mean that he ever looks at it. I would be really surprised if he did.

Ingvarr

If you had two of them, I could have some really cool leg armor.

They all are. That's the primary market for steel. They'll still sell it.

Ingvarr

I'm not a pitbull hater at all. Your comment came off as snarky at least and it struck me as funny since a thread that started on something specific and turned into a general pile-on was what initially brought you here.

Ingvarr

Looking at the background stuff, I'm thinking it might be family business of selling stuff, possibly storage auctions or so, so the kid in the picture might not have anything to do with the armor other than modeling it. Either way, I've seen a hell of a lot worse on the field, it's neither blue nor ...

OP states 40" now but can be up to 52"

Ingvarr

Are you stupid? It's back then when they had knights and friars and archery contests and stuff. Everyone knows that.

Ingvarr

Fight, don't fight. Only you can answer that. It sounds like you had your answer before you asked the question but who knows. Keep in mind that you will get hit a lot more frequently in one on ones than you will in melee. I would advise authorizing and giving pensic a shot, just so you know what you...

Duke Sean Tarragon from Artemesia is a very good teacher.

Can you see these?

It's kind of the hard suit equivalent of wiping off on the curtains afterwards.

Ingvarr

If you say what you are interested in, someone might be able to direct you to someone else. You might contact Matt too, who knows, he might be just dying to make a whatever.

At last Thursdays practice we had two of the Red Bull girls come over and visit. We practice at night, so i couldn't drink my freebie, but it is sitting in the fridge for Sunday mornings practice. Do you know who it was that told them that Red Bull wasn't period for the 1400s? I can't see anyone wh...

One person knows how your helmet fits on your ear. He should be able to answer your question.

If you can wear your helmet comfortably, I don't see any reason at all why it should keep you from fighting.

Buy one from RFTH, better, cheaper, faster, sexier.

Ingvarr

You might as well just post it in the thread. Otherwise, I'd like it too.

[derail]II, take them apart and soak them in alcohol, or buy some ink solvent. If you can find someone with an ultrasonic cleaner, even better. Dried out pens used to be pretty common and are not too difficult to clean up and get back to full functionality.[/derail]

It was good to meet you and fun to fight you. I think Kaz's arm healed miraculously after the threat of having to face the snap kick went away. Regret missing DBD, sounds/looks like it was fun.

Ingvarr

I brought this up a few years ago and got some decent suggestions. The way I planned(still do actually) to try was this. Get some bosses made with a channel around the perimeter that wood would fit into. Shields made of 3 or 4 pieces of finished wood. The pieces are zip tied together so the shields ...

Ingvarr

Sorry. I've tried several times to let this pass but can't. What part of history is Trimaris? None. People in pretend glass houses might want to think twice before throwing pretend stones. All of us do ahistorical things and a lot of them. I've never been to your kingdom, or attended one of Your cou...
