The Name of What We Do
I'd like to hear your opinions on the name of what we do. Of course, we don't have to have a name at all but as humans we tend to name things plus it's a good way of describing to a newcomer what we do. A few years ago, this vexed me for this is not cosplay, it's not really re-enactment or LARP. Eve...

Star of the Dunedain
I know over the years many have thought about the Star of the Dunedain and how many points it might have. My conclusion based on the works of Tolkien was five points. We know the Island of Numenor was as a five pointed star and Tolkien when he drew the cover for the Return of the King, he showed fiv...

Actually neither Peter. It's a Pakistan knockoff of the UC Boromir but I've found that it's pretty good quality overall. It does rust so that's a good sign. Haven't done any major chopping with it but it's much lighter weight than my Johann Schmidberger which is actually my favorite.

Re: Premium Advice for Newcomers
I think the biggest challenge I had to overcome was patience. I wanted to get my kit together yesterday. Realize that it takes time to put together a good impression and even then you may replace things over the years - yes, years. The challenge to any newcomer in our activity is patience I think, e...

Re: 2018 New Skill / Ranger Goal Challenge!
All great projects! You guys give great inspiration and ideas! Mainly working on my horse impression this year. I know many people don't associate Rangers with horses but we do have the Grey Company references and this for the Rangers of Ithilien: [Faramir says:] "Yestereve I lay at Cair Andros...

Now that I've learned how to delete attachments, I've deleted the small pics and will add some back at a better size.

Re: I'm back and Wow! A Lot of Changes All Around! Warning: Pic Heavy
Thanks Peter. Good to see you're still here. I saw the red names and thought that meant the members had left. Good to know that is not the case. I did these photos around 100 pixels but they came out very small and one was mistakingly posted twice. Sorry about that.
