Pennsic 35, right? I was there... it was awesome. I would like to get a picture of me and Duke Darius. Every interaction I have had with this man on the field inspires me. I will never forget when he gave me one of my most memorable moments when I was standing alone against his forces in the woods, ...

• There's a large fighting household I know, who at least used to, paint on the sides of their helmets escutcheons (maybe 1" wide by 2" tall), suitably marked to denote which Pennsics they'd fought at; I can recall many of the having a half-dozen, and a few had well over a dozen (and th...

At Pennsic last year, the marshalls put my sticker under my aventail. They shouldn't have done that - that was blatantly against the rules given to the inspecting marshals; we were all told to put them on the left temple / cheek, so they'd be both visible during combat and in a consistent position....

I wear my seax in it's sheath on my belt when I fight. Always. It is a part of my kit, one that I really feel naked without. I take shots that hit the scabbard as if it were not there. I will continue to do so. I take these as whims, not commands. If it is given as a command, then I will rethink it.
