Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted October 12, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted October 12, 2008 Latex swords......... sissies! In my (enter the way back machine) role playing days, if and when we opted for 'live action' playing, it was with EMT, RIGID, or some iron plumbing pipe wrapped up in pipe insulation and wrapped again in duct tape. There were no "magic spelled swords", and no dice. The two combatants faced off and didn't 'whack' each other- it was more like 'pummeled', or 'beat down'. In anycase, there was no confusion as to who hit who or when. Also no confusion as to who won Thinking back on it....I'm not sure if my younger cousin ever forgave me for not knowing the 'new' rules...hehehe.

Substitute 1.25" diameter rattan sticks for pipe and leave off the insulation, and you've got the SCA. Quote
