There is, or at least was a lady in Caid with a Korean persona. When I met her a few years ago, she was in grad school, so she may have moved out of our...
Last night at Beltane we opened the first bottle of our "Oh My Gods" chocolate Mead. The formula was developed by Shea from an earlier recipe and we used only...
And useful for office situations where you need a food knife but have no special drawers! The ninja restaurant is over the top... ROTFL I suspect the food is...
... Well, I set up a list. Not very active at the moment. SCA-Korea@yahoogroups.com. I believe there are now lists out there for China, Japan, Mongols, India,...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tatsushu/3488390901/in/set-72157617493268793/ Saw this in the National Museum of Seoul. It was in the Baekje (Paekche) room, from...
... Holy cow -- what a contemporary looking piece. That's the sort of thing that, had I seen it in the SCA, I would have thought "we need to get some goblets...
Okay, pardon me while I get quietly ill in a corner. SpikeTV has started a show called 'Deadliest Warriors' . The concept is, they pit one warrior against...
Konishiwa, I watched the one about Samurai VS Viking, I thought they were all talking mucho poo-poo but since the end course was the Samurai beating the Viking...
... But shields are indestructible walls that no weapon can get through! And they can't be grabbed, yanked, or pulled (without a weapon, anyway). ;) Sorry,...
My major problem is the entire scenario itself. A Ninja would probably do minor attacks ont he Spartan... but it would have been either dawn or dusk... to find...
I like the show. I find the pair ups interesting. the shit talking while throwing bad combos and flailing the shields behind the back, to me is hilarious. ...
A Viking would not stand a chance against a Samurai. Viking use brute force to smash Shields and hack with their large, unbalanced swords. A Samurai would...
I have watched all of the Deadliest Warrior episodes so far. I take them for what they are. Entertainment, not reality. I am not so big on the out comes as how...
The Viking did not have the metallurgy the Japanese sword makers did. There is no way an 800 A,D sword would stand up to a Japanese folded 100,12th 15th...
I have decided I am going to be making my own armor using the guide on sengokudaimyo.com but I have a question first. See I am going to be making mine out of...
IMHO, it's apples vs oranges, with much the same results. In Ninja vs. Spartans, they forced a scenario where a ninja would face a Spartan one on one. Like...
Sadly, I think the answer will be up to the individual marshals. I would think that good looking armor would get a pass. But there are some JML prejudices out...
... Huh? I'd say that the Vikings probably had better steel. They didn't need to differentially harden to get something that wouldn't break but would still be...
It will sort of depend on what kind of armor you're making. If it's one of the types with the very heavy lacing, it'll be mostly covered by that. Also,...
The ONLY place I've ever see this rule, is for a CROWN List. It's nice to cover up the "blatantly" modern equipment, but if you can't tell unless you are...
... Atlantia had a rule about fighting in general, as I recall. I don't know if it is still in effect. Thus... check with those in your local area. -Ii...
I suspect it is, at least for this reign as it was Logan who instituted the rule in the first place! You'd have to check with one of Atlantia's fighters to...
I watched the ninja vs spartan episode myself and found their simulation to be wanting. In the end battle, the ninja drew his sword and screamed to launch an...
The final battle is a fanciful demonstration based on the numbers generated in the simulations. They generally try to demonstrate why each result in the...
