Hey Donas...If you ARE looking to get one built....Take White Mountain up on his offer...
This is the guy I posted about on the Legio Draconis Site and made that SWEET Roman Heavy Cav Helm that Ulfr was talking about.

sarnac

No Donas.....

NO one wants to see that silly Britanno-Roamn stuff on the field!!!

Except maybe Owen...

Nice to see you....

We also have to take into account that the term "barbarian" is reletive... The Europeans called the Japanese and Chinese and even the Mongols "barbarians" because they were different than anything they had ever seen before. The asian cultures have a refined history that goes back while the Europeans...

Richard....

For as small as tha paragraph was....its inspiration was immense.

May I use a semblance of these powerful words in the future?

the belt thing is quite simple.... Within the SCA the only belt color that is reserved is white....That is reserved for the Order of Chivalry of the Society. Dont like it??? Too bad...Its a Society thing...deal with it. All others are tradition...not reserved. No other belt color is reserved at all....

I also like that fact that I can go to an event with my family, including our 3 year old daughter, and for the most part, be much less concerned for her saftey and well being. Our events have enough people at them who have children that there is an extensive Childrens activities room, and for the mo...

Well Hushgirl, Rest assured that I think you are pretty spiff yourself....regardless if you have a tin hat or not.. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/wink.gif Weasel: I am curious as to why you are scared of these people. My Household is in NJ and Lower NY State... The website is www.timberwolfehouse...

It looks to be an SCA version of a visored close helm.....
its not a Bascinet like he lists....looks pretty nice.

the smell...

if you get to Pennsic at night, as soon as you crest the hill on I-79 and see the Serengetti, this smell of fire and tikis and smoke that is so distinctive hits you and triggers an almost involuntary joyous response........"home"

I just realized that Red Winged Lion is Dagan's house.... I am a DUMBASS!!! I bet we have met.... Dagan and My Lady wife Joliecia go WAY back. and I have been to several of His Grace's Scotch Parties... Now I know I will see you as I always try to stop by and see Dagan at least once per Pennsic. Tel...

I have practiced martial arts and martial sports for over 15 years and SCA combat is by far one of the most fun forms of combat I have ever had the privilige of participating in.... but.... There is a difference. What we do (all of us) is a martial sport not a martial art... The big difference in my...

Regardless of the venue and style of tournament, be it Pas, Crown, Holmgang, or Pennsic Melee we are expected.....nay, we are REQUIRED...to conduct ourselves in a manner that is chivalrous and courteous at all times...bottom line!! Just because its a "War" does not give any one the right to break th...

T-Bob... Regardless of my schedule at War I promise I will make some time to come sit and share a tankard with you and your Lady... When my wife and I argue about things that have to do with the Society, I sometimes wonder if it is all worth it.... and as far as Period foot ware goes..... Size 10 1/...

sarnac

Yes....
number 6

If it was to come up to mid calf, it would be a close enough facsimile to mongol boots that I could see wearing them to fight in...

Can you get me a price on this?

sarnac

I dislike that fact that I cannot spend enough time teaching my charges....and learning from my Knight. I dislike the fact that I have put off making more period accutrements to go with our stuff in order to concentrate on improving my prowess. I dislike that I do not have ANY period footware..... I...

I couldnt have said it better myself....

I enjoy the SCA... I enjoy most of my time here... however.... I dislike the peerages who have lost their focus... they spend most of their time politicking and backstabbing in order to forward their own agenda. This is not all people within the Orders but too many have forgetten why they are there,...

sarnac

I would be VERY interested in a mid calf hig boot with the up turned toe....

The Mongol boots my wife made are great but I cant wear them fighting

This would be a good compromise..

This seems to have turned into a 4th grade pissing contest of "I'm better" No..I'm better" "NO I'M better" "NO I'M BETTER" Damn people..... Nobody has a monopoly on what is right and what works here.... We are all working towards a common goal and if each of you could get down of your high friggin' ...

I have to agree with many up above... Russian and eastern accessories are almost impossible to get on a regualr basis.... High european is much more common....but not correct... small things like proper cast buttons (full circle) buckles for foot wear... I have to agreee about plaques for belts as w...

Funnel analogy??? Is that the one where you consider the SCA like a funnel where everyone gets dumped in the top and the few who want to move on to bigger and better thing squirt out the other end??? I have heard that before.... I, for one, enjoy my time in the SCA and I do what I can to channel peo...
