Mr. de Moffat. Your odds are true only if they are based on a mathematical randomness, which Crown's are not. For example: If Bobby Newguy, and Sharon Newgirl fought for one another in an Atlantian Crown and Mikey the Everyother King was fighting in it, the odds on Bobby and Sharon would still be 1 ...

I have to change out my rattan a lot. Did you ever notice that flaming rattan swords are not against the rules of the list? They aren't. Not just that, but the power of the Boom-Yow!! like breaks rattan all the time. Haven't you ever smelled burning rattan while you were fighting? I smell it all the...

I think for sure that a song like that could work, but sometiems you have to mix up the order a little bit with some other songs from other eras like maybe some Priest or maybe Kick Start my Heart by the Crue: [img]http://scd.mm-b1.yimg.com/image/926198194[/img][img]http://scd.mm-b1.yimg.com/image/7...

Great. Now i'll be singing in my Led Zeppelin at the event this weekend! Does that help with the effectiveness of the Leg-er-ator? Dude, You HAVE a LED ZEPPELIN?!? That is the ass kickingest thing ever. If you wanted, you could probably get like eleventy billion dollars for it on Ebay. But I unders...

DA, Would a shot to the thigh also be called the Boom-Yow!! I would love to see the mechanics of that shot expertly illustrated as only you can provide. Odo No. It is not called a Boom-Yow!! It makes a Thwak-a-doom! noise, but I think it is called the Leg-er-ator. Here is the shot. I used a picture...

DarkApprentice

I fixed the print. You should be able to read it now.

Dude, in a combo, you throw two on-sides (remember you are holding your bastard sword in your sinister left hand), then you step out of the way and let loose with the Boom-Yow!!

i step back, kneel, and offer my sword (hilt first) to my opponent. I've see you post this before. I always wondered if anybody has actually taken your sword after you offer it? If anyone has gotten Logan's sword, I'll give them 10 whole dollars for it!!! That would be awesome to have the sword o' ...

I will also discuss anything with my noble opponents. But I like to jabber jaw! Regards, Odo Go for it Odo!

Dear DA I was going through old Dragon Magazines and it got me to thinking how can I be a better warrior on the battle field. I want to be an insiprational leader at the up coming Pennsic and I was wondering should I roll for additional attributes like strength, constitution, intellingence, dexteri...

I must admit though, I have made a lot of money thanks to DA's handicapping of crown tourneys. Rock on!

Jehan de Pelham, esquire and servant of Sir Vitus www.mron.org EDIT: P.S.--Captain Sascha, if you haven't been made a knight yet, it's a wonder. Maybe we could make a dark deal with the Devil to trade some ingredients? A Dark deal? And Duke Logan is going to be there? I think I might have to go to ...

Carbon Fiber and wood composites!!! All done in a vacuum bag. That would make a mega light bullet proof shield.

How about all bastard swords? That would rock, don't you think? Or maybe all bastard swords or sword and buckler only. That could be cool too, then those guys who aren't authorized in anything but sword and shield could play too. It would be especially cool if halfswording was allowed to. Then it wo...

I said that people cringe at someone's name. People do that all the time, just like in Mystery Men when everyone cringes at hearing the name of Paul Rubens' character, The Spleen, because he stank and people didn't want him around. Are you saying that Logan smells? I think you are on to something h...

NOthing, expect that most Meridians and former Meridians cringe at the sound of his sound name. Perhaps so yet we folk of Gleann Abhann are of metal tested by wind & wave, tempered by the glow & warmth of our consorts inspiration. Never would we turn away from even the strongest foe. You do Gleann ...

NOthing, expect that most Meridians and former Meridians cringe at the sound of his sound name. Logan doesn't live in my Kingdom, but it would be cool if he did.

I use an Apple II+'s with 48K of memory! Autoduel is the rockingest game, and the bard's tale, and wizardy. I have a blade cuisinart +10 around here somewhere.

I like the first more. You should have added a line like, "Woe be like a bloody tide unto those unfortunate souls whose blindness has lead them to the vision of my bastard sword smacking them in the face!" An you should have said carnage a few more times. Carnage rocks. Like, you should have added i...

Did someone say my name? Here are my odds and stuff for this small list: 3-1 Count Havordh Aetarbani Provided he remembers to hit people until they fall down, he should win this tournament.

Over the last 5 years or so...a lot has changed. Put differently: Please compare and contrast the Atlantian Armies of 1995 and 2005. The Atlantian Army of 1995 had Duke Anton (Atlantian Pennsic MVP: 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000), the equivalent of B.A. Barracus and Hannibal put together on its team. [img...

20-some years ago, there was a mace shot then in vogue, where you did this wrappie-thing low, after suckering your oppent's shield high. It was intended to slide right into the slot and peg them on the hip, a "killing" shot. Unfortunately, if your opponent moved at the wrong time, it would land rig...

No DA I don't think I ever said I wanted to be like him... just understand a little better where he is coming from and since he has shorter hair now he looks like a schoolboy again Concerned Squire If he looks like a schoolboy, then listen to some AC/DC.

Dear D.A. There is cute female knight in my shire. Is ok to pinch her on the tushy? Sincerly, Lonely Boy. Lonely Boy, I think she would whack you, but it depends on your relationship I guess.
