It's called LARP, Live Action Role Play... Yes, I've done it, don't ask... But there is no better feeling than beating people with padded swords and then laughing about it later... Though I have gotten hurt doing it... lol

P.S. That lightning bolt crap doesn't fly, you gotta say it 3 times for each one... Yes, there are rules to it...


Ok, Now I feel like a huge nerd... lol

OK Chazman, you and I are never hanging out

My experience with RenFaire has been that everybody wants to go and take their swords with 'em. I left my gun in the car and carried a knife and some OC, no problems, no patdowns or metal detectors. All they really bother with is drunks, and drunks they deal with very well.

That said, I was one of those jerks who parked at the swashbuckler pub all day (hey, it was my brother driving anyway and I'd never tasted mead!)

It'd be interesting(though tragic) to watch the aftermath of an SD draw/shoot - as almost everybody, it seems, is armed to some degree, and you couldn't possibly shoot without witnesses/people hearing it. And then EVERYBODY draws their sword... hm.

What about a flintlock, or a blunderbuss? if they're picky, make it a matchlock (example), snaphaunce or wheel-lock. As Spock used to say, "Crude but effective".

Hmmm... Handguns, chain-mail and bards, oh my!

Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court anyone?




My father had a ton of these CLASSICS Illustrated books and when I was a kid, this was one of my favorites!

humm well from what i know chain mail wont stop bullelts at all only kevlar will. thought i doupt that even kevlar can stop some of these newer round that cut throught it like butter.

The better or rather higher protection body armor relies on plates more than kevlar. Try shooting at 5 inches of steel and see how well a .45 goes through it . Oh warn me first so i'm not around.

chain male was designed to protect against blades flying or otherwise. It helped make sure you weren't impaled by spears and such.

Hey turkey hoagie if chaz wants to run around in tights and pointy hats let him. Don't be mean just cause you got your name in a deli.

Actually mail wouldn't do much against thrusts and spear points, it was mostly effect of slashs from the broad edge. Plate armor was introduced to better deal with pointy weapons.

EmptyMag, since when have Connecticutt Yankees been gunslinging cowboys? Regardless the expression on the face of the brown horse on the second book is priceless, I think he just took a lance up the arse.

Sorry Turkey... But if you knew the story behind it, it would make a lot of sense... lol

I'm a cool guy, ask anyone...
