Greetings all! Not really a new Rhun member.. but definitely wanting to start up my own in the Platteville area. Just need some tips and pointers, etc.. Unsure where to begin other than build swords and shields.
Some of the questions I have are simply in regards to weapon checks, overall marshalling, a few things like that. Also; weapon hilts and if they are illegal, basic things that aren't really covered in the Book of War. I'd like to get all of these things covered before I register it with the main Belegarth site.

Hi, great to hear that you want to try and get a realm/group started, I can't answer all of your questions, but I can perhaps provide some help. In terms of foam smithing, I'd suggest looking over the foam smithing section of this forum, and the national boards. Depending on what you feel your skill level is, you might want to talk to some of the people on this board about getting "kits" for specific weapons, as this greatly speeds things up, and guarantees quality materials.
What sort of "hilts" are you thing of in particular? Basket hilts? cross guards? some sort of complex hilt?

Cross Guard*
Just wanting to know if they were illegal or not. Found out that they aren't.
I've been making my own weapons for the last 2 days, and slowly getting better and better. They hold up very well and a friend and I have been smacking each other around.
Really this is more of a 'let's see if I can ask an experienced marshall to, perhaps, visit my game one day' type of thing. That way, they can correct me if they see something horribly wrong.

Not related to heralding/rules, but I think the Amyr class at spring wars on 10 basic shots (single sword or sword and shield attacks) had some video tutorials up, very good for someone new to fighting.

Yo, I'm in Platteville periodically. Facebook add me Jacob Wingert so I'll let you know when I'm in town next and we can swing sticks and help you build stuff as I'm not often on these boards anymore.

This is awesome. Thank you all for your help in getting my section off the ground. I hope to be a huge part of the many, many belegarth clans for quite a long time  |
