    Historical Fiction

    Hey- given this came up on a couple of threads, and seemed to be a concept in common, I was wondering if anyone here had tried scribbling their own historical fiction? I've put this on this board because it's not just ''who here is a scribbler''- I'm wondering if anyone has tried to be the next...

    Describe that poster!

    Right. Just for a bit of fun- the point of this thread is to describe the other members of the forum as you see them (keep it holy!)- partially as a vanity piece for them, and also as a humour-based distraction from the screaming terror of the real world... For instance- "Night Ninja- a font of...

    The Ancient Debate: Flat Versus Edge

    Basically, this thread -is not- designed to settle the issue- nobody -ever- will. Merely for people to discuss it and actually look into it. I do ask for mutual respect, a bit of research (IE don't post blag if you don't know), and no superior gainsaying, 'Oh, you still believe -that-, ho, ho...

    LOOKING FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN MANCHESTER!

    Right- in the third (or possibly fourth) of my amazingly successful forum hits- here it is. Historia Normannis is looking for members interested in medieval combat to join our Manchester cell group. We're a twelfth century reenactment group- www.normannis.co.uk Essentially if you enjoy M+B as a...

    DOES ANYONE LIVE IN LANCASTER?

    Really random question, I know, and probably familiar to anyone who has read my (previous) really random questions- but I SWEAR I have a reason. And that it's not sinister. Mainly I'm looking for anyone who might be interested in medieval reenactment, as I'm starting up a cell group here (see...

    'Bracing' spears.

    Basically I outlined something similar in the 'new weapons' thread, simply because the spears in-game just don't behave like spears. The cavalry 'rampage' is mainly down to the inability of infantry to hold the line- they always recieve charge before fighting back. I'd propose that an...

    Any Welshmen out there?

    Really random question I know- but I'm presently looking to recruit new members for our reenactment society- www.normannis.co.uk. Presently we're having some problems finding people in the Wales area- so I ask again- anyone from Wales who might fancy trying 12th century reenactment?

    Calling all English M+B Players...

    This is something of a stretch- but I'm willing to try anything once. I presently run a  12th century UK reenactment group, Historia Normannis, and we are always looking for new members. Having seen that the average M+B player is looking for at least historically-based whacking fun, I think the...

    You know you're a reenactment addict when...

    You know you're a reenactment addict when... This is a humourous list based on other people's experiences and exchanges within my own group; anyone else involved in reenactment please feel free to add to it! 1) When told there's a frog in the garden you panic, check your scabbard, and say...

    For those who DO...

    Just an interesting question; for those of us who ARE re-enactors; let's have a low-down on you. Like, era, backstory, equipment, group, etc. etc. I think it'd be good to get to know one another in a fairly neutral setting. I'm Dan Wick, I run a British re-enactment group called the BSU; we're...

    Layering armours and specialised weapons

    The first point is going to possibly be quite unpopular; so let's see. I'm basically proposing a direct re-think on the current armour system; it's unrealistic as to how armour is really worn. Rather than a single slot for a torso piece, there should be, say, three slots, allowing you to layer...

    Dropping and Backslinging, and spears!

    This is something I mentioned in another thread, and just thought I'd state it again here; There's been some discussion about the large amounts of slots for carrying kit- that it's unrealistic. As I've said, I spend a lot of time re-enacting 12th-13th century warfare and mess about with a lot of...
