    (ig)A treatise: stances and tactics of a shieldwall fighter

    Beginning Stances Tower Guard- Another stance I’ve used to good effect in indoor spaces is known as the tower guard, where the sword hilt is held near the base of your ribs, level with the ground. The elbow of your weapon arm should be tucked near the back of your ribs, but take care that in...

    (ig)A treatise: stances and tactics of a shieldwall fighter

    Beginning Stances High Guard- For both defense and offense as a member of a shield unit, my stance preference is what is commonly referred to as a high guard. This position is attained by gripping your sword and placing the hilt over your shoulder, roughly parallel with the ground. This...

    A treatise on the stances and tactics of a shieldwall fighte ~Concerns regarding armour selection~ As a building starts with a basement and foundation, so shall we. Blows fall from the top down, like raindrops, as the head, shoulders, and torso are primary targets. Because of this, when you...

    Gentlemen, When last I visited your lands, I was sent by that which I have always served, the Aquila... White falcon of the Hunt Undivided. I found a treasure of the earth, just as I was told to. It chose me over another, just as I was told it would. Such a demonstration of precognitive...

    Alliance Oregon THREE DAY Event at Camp Sheppard

    "We call them inducements, Gideon. Not bribes." -Jim Sullivan. I'm in! Nothing satisfies like violence, and nothing motivates like avarice.

    The pen is mightier

    I use a mix of different pens, but the nibs, points, angle of cut.... it's not nearly so problematic as the paper I chose to write on :D The more authentic your paper, the closer you should get to a ballpoint-in-a-primary quill, if only to save yourself the headache of your school nib catching...

    Shields and spells

    I also highly recommend having somewhere to put your weapon that isnt under your arm. Once I made a sheath for my weapons, it became a lot easier to manage switching from "shieldwall stance" to "shielded caster stance" :) Thanks for your help, as well... You made me realize that my treatise...

    Shields and spells

    As a shielded caster, I'd advise this: Have a few packets secreted about your person, a couple in hand, a pouch with some, and a few in loops on the shield. I keep at least 5 hidden in my clothing, have a handful in hand, a pouch at my left (shield-side) hip, and keep some in a holder of some...

    Killing blows with wands.

    Humor me defending my actions as a PC, just for a moment... The idea that I can choke a monster immune to normal damage to death by simply having a silver or gold coin in my hand, sure, I can see that being an abuse of intent. But flexing my brain slightly, I can still slit your throat with...

    A single Scroll.

    I am looking for a Vision scroll to purchase, compete, or trade for. I have questions the Fae can't or won't answer. Yeah, I know, lucky me. As always, I'm looking for components as well, so if you have extra Flotsam, Lastember, or Ghoul grease lying about, please let me know. -Guy DuBro Manson-
