you need to find a house to join

Basically beat the shit out of each other using medieval weapons while wearing armor

at my club there is a guy that helps teach people stuff

and then everyone else just puts on armour and beats the shit out of each other

and sometimes they get critiqued

@matroyshka Pretty sure there are contests revolving around that

very much a learn through experience type deal

@Lucienne d'Anwyl are maces allowed?

ARE FLAILS ALLOWED?

How does it feel to get whapped with a blunted sword?

maces yes

flails probably not

Excellent

damn

but they have to have proper padding

I want to hit someone right in the side of the fucking head with a flail

I went to the international jousting championships last year (or early this year? Can’t remember). Was fkn awesome.
Saw a guy take a lance to the face, knocked him the fuck out.
I recorded it in fkn slow-mo too.

IRL warhammer

with swords you can get away with just a hunk of ratton with a hilt

maces need padding

same with axes

swords need a pad on the tip if you want to thrust

just the tip

yes

What about **flaming** swords?

What if i bring an eastern weapon? Like a red tailed spear or some shit

also swords need the edge clearly marked and you have to hit with the edge or it doesnt count

now you're getting all fancy

i mean so long as its made of the righ tmaterial it should be fine

you can choose a persona and use their style of weapons and armor

Brings ratton ballista

i have seen samurai with the flags and everything

you know i really dont think anyone is gonna check to see if the right edge hits

lol

This sounds like DEEP REN FAIRE culture

rofl samurai
