Re: LITERALLY a ransom fit for a King! (Why do the Deed...)

What are the more often-seen styles of ransoms? Val Some of the things I've heard of: Home brew, books, fabric, coins copied from period examples, paternosters, items, both decrative and utilitarian, made by the givers. As Nissan said, He who does more is more worthy. The more worthy the individual...

Re: LITERALLY a ransom fit for a King! (Why do the Deed...)

Amazing.

As a simple Man-at-arms on the French side my ransoms will be much humbler. As is fitting for a man of my station.

Re: Panther Regent leaking issue

Only leaking I have ever had was from pooling water. I have to make sure all lines are taunt and no sagging of the roof line. The last Pennsic we went to had continuous rain for 3 straight days and we only got a small leak , at a corner, on the last night. Where water had pooled.

Re: Sunshade

I, too, used a painters tarp. If you plan the grommets right you can set it up as a peaked roof shade or a the smaller Bakers tent style. When I had Panther run up the fly for my regent i had extra grommets put in so that it fills three different needs.
