Me too. :)
Very nice dream, Koldir (in an horrifying sort of way) !
Jevon thinks Baster's relatively alright actually. At least he's not all goody goody. He can be a bit flowery for Jevon's tastes, but hell, nobody's perfect. Jevon's attitude towards nobles is slowly changing...but he still has a long way to go.
Ahaa, thanks. It won't be the last one.
Oh jeebus... they're going to get her high...
It's more like they're going to get her high...

Exactly.
Jevon, if Leylyn ends up imagining up magical flying ponies and giant pink elephants I blame you.
Don't give her ideas.
*EDIT* DAMMIT Matt, now I have the Pink Elephant song from Dumbo stuck in my head.
She's already smoked before in game if memory serves. She can handle herself :P
Just wait for her to start talking about her friends Spike, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Derpy Hooves. That's when we should really start to get worried.
The what, the what, and the what?
You... you don't want to know.
Go ahead... google it...
I like you Leon. I like you a lot.
Are you saying friendship is... magic?
I used to wonder what friendship could be, until you shared this... magic... with me...
Oh! Oh! Can I be Twilight?
Suddenly I feel like I need to apologize. And shower.
Oh! Oh! Can I be Twilight
Why not?
I have dibs on Derpy though.
Matt has to be Princess Celestia.
Suddenly I feel like I need to apologize. And shower.
Feel your inner brony... Feel it!
While I honestly will admit to having seen all of Season 1, I do believe we should stick with the Round Table personas and not compare us to Ponies... even if Leylyn reminds of PP.
Seconded. I feel like I opened pandora's box only at the bottom, instead of hope, there was only a vague sense of shame. :)
For the record, Leon is the little worry-wort dragon.
It's ok, from now on, Endrian will just petition Tim to right a letter to a lady by the name of Princess Celestia every now and again :)

Where did you get this?
The guard I'm describing is a very simplistic description of the german sword guard "Pflug" (pronounced "plow"), which is pretty much the beginner's stance.
The numerical teaching system is actually an adaptation of an Italian fencing system established much later, but I really like it as a concept.
Leon, you know how I was saying how much I liked you a few posts ago, my respect for you is only growing.
As a note, one of the guys in that video is Jake Norwood, the guy who wrote this game, which is about as realistic as a historical combat system can get. It's got a *really* steep learning curve, but once you get the hang of it it's really amazing.
(In addition to being one hell of a fencer and designer, jake also makes amazing brownies.)

Even if Leylyn reminds of PP.
Actually, In Leylyn's Profile, there is a link to a "best of Pinkie Pie" video That I use as a reference!
Leon and Ithriel (and the others) about the training sessions:
I think I should mention that one of the Cavalier class hallmark abilities is:
Tactician (Ex): At 1st level, a cavalier receives a teamwork feat as a bonus feat. He must meet the prerequisites for this feat.
As a standard action, the cavalier can grant this feat to all allies within 30 feet who can see and hear him.
Allies retain the use of this bonus feat for 3 rounds plus 1 round for every two levels the cavalier possesses. Allies do not need to meet the prerequisites of these bonus feats. The cavalier can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and for every 5 levels thereafter.
The teamwork feat I took is:
You know how to make an enemy pay for lax defenses.
Benefit: Whenever you are adjacent to an ally who also has this feat, you receive a +4 circumstance bonus on attacks of opportunity against creatures that you both threaten.
Enemies that provoke attacks of opportunity from your ally also provoke attacks of opportunity from you so long as you threaten them (even if the situation or an ability would normally deny you the attack of opportunity).
This does not allow you to take more than one attack of opportunity against a creature for a given action.
It took me some time to decipher the tactical meaning of this feat (I'm much less tactically minded than my character, alas :-).
Also, I haven't had any real opportunity (ha ha !) to use it until now, but I'm sure something will come up.
If you have some ideas about teamwork feats that would be good in conjunction with this feat, let me know !
Also, the ARMA thing is very cool, Leon :-) ! I did some fencing when I was a teenager, and I've thought of taking medieval fencing lessons for some time now. Projects, projects...
How big is ARMA? It looks very cool, but I'd be worried that it would be somewhat like other medieval martial sport things I've tried where it's the same 5 people you're fighting over and over and none of them really know what they're doing either.
I'd love to get into it, but the only worthwhile way I'm seeing from their website looks like that Iron Door School outside Atlanta. Are there enough people around who really know what they're doing? Is there any overlap with something like SCA, or is ARMA too focused on historical accuracy?
Jevon: posting from phone over the weekend. I'll be able to give you a full reply on Monday.
For now I'll just say that the SCA compares to ARMA the same way professional wrestling compares to MMA.
Professional wrestling can be fun, and even require a lot of talent, but it is in no way even remotely close to the real thing.
Looks interesting and would be good study, but I use smaller elements then what you described, and a very different style direction. Would be interesting to have a match.
Never got into SCA because of the cost. I used to do something called Dagorhir, it's a full contact fighting sport but with foam weapons. Can't hit the head, but other than that pretty much whatever goes. It was definitely more of a sport and less martial art though.
Why do I live in China now?? Just found a HEMA school back in my hometown. I'm assuming HEMA and ARMA are basically the same kind of thing. Either way, after looking at all these videos and websites I'm definitely gonna have to get into some European martial arts when I move back to the states.
I used to belong to amtgard, fun. Not real but fun.
Why european? Don't like asian?
I've done taekwondo and a little dabbling in kung fu, but working with a weapon would motivate me a lot more. Guess I could try kendo or something...
Leylin and Endrian's dirigible scene reminds me of a woman friend of my ex-wife °-O ! For real.
When rpg meets life (although I doubt she sang like Leylin. THAT should remain in the realms of fantasy ;-) !
That makes me laugh a little Baster :P
I have to admit that the relationship of Endrian and Leylyn is definitely getting...........interesting.
In response to Leon's latest ooc question, did anybody else jump to Firefly with Wash?
I didn't, but now I am...
Leon's just not happy enough to be like Wash though.
Leon's just not happy enough to be like Wash though, yet.
Fixed.
Nice. :)
I totally missed this!
Just wanted to point out that it made me laugh.

And once again the Internet teaches me something new. Thank you for expanding my mind Leylyn and Leon :)
I didn't know that either.
