Honestly Alzarahn, you need to quit while you are ahead. Several nobles have told you that it is safe, including ones that are in your country. Beating this dead horse will not get you any points anywhere. If you want something done about it that has already been done and went through the proper ch...

It's because Darkon's tech isn't the same as many other games that allow shield edge strikes. amt doesn't allow shield edging or bashing (with the face) people have been fighting with down stabbies in their shield hand there for all 15 years i've been doing it, and i've never seen someone hurt by i...

Well said Calien. I'm going to hope for the best in this case, but I still have reservations about this. Hopefully a more experience player/legislator (than myself) will codify the rules for this.

I think this needs to be scrutinized heavily if it's going to be allowed. Honestly, I think it could be pretty beneficial if we make it safer for everyone. I can see it working if we adjust our shield specs and codify the rules surrounding it. It's one of those things like Shield Kicking, it can be ...

I rarely make my voice heard, I am but a simple Shepard of no lofty position in the realm. I serve my country to the best of my ability, and represent only myself, nothing more... But to see so many throwing dirt on the name of the great Northern Kingdoms, I cannot stand idly by. This has compelled ...

It would help if you had some stuff worth spending the gold on. Stuff that isn't just one-event or one-use. Just sayin.

Exhausted color choice?! Never. Violet, Pink, Orange, Brown, Cyan, just to name a few.

I'd love to see the pink siege fire.

I don't know what to say about this. It's already passed? Seems like something iffy that's never been mentioned that squeaked by due to low Easter attendance. Well, I hope it was specifically Red. It is Red Only I hope? I don't want to see people using this in conjunction with huge swung weapons. I'...

Also, I want to add: If you make shields safe for edge-hits, I'm totally cool with this tactic being allowed. Right now, with 1 1/2 inch minimum edge still allowed, I just don't think it's safe. It's because Darkon's tech isn't the same as many other games that allow shield edge strikes. If you real...

For example, I could kick your shield and that would be cool, or I could kick your shield into your chin and that is unsafe and would suck. Uh, dude? You realize that example just supports my argument, right? That's what we call an Illegal Shield Kick. When something is unsafe, we make rules preven...

All I'm saying is we shouldn't rely on people's common sense to prevent injuries. Common sense is less common than you might think. We have to think about safety and liability to the game, a bad injury CAN cripple the game financially and lose us venues. Just because one player can play safely using...

It's about risk prevention as well, Tyriel. By the same logic, I could say it's safe for someone to fight with razor-blades and spikes stuck to his armor, just as long he wasn't out grappling people.

I don't think a weapon being held in a shield hand should be illegal, but attacking with one? That's dangerous territory since you can easily get bashed by a shield's edge. Bucklers are different since they are typically small, arm-strapped and generally do not protrude past the wrist. On the other ...

That will probably fail pretty fast. You should have went to Jo Ann's, they had some nice silver cloth there I used for my sword and it's holding up fine.

The layered blue foam method will fail quickly if it isn't using drywall tape between the layers for rigidity. Even then it will need some repair eventually, but it holds up a hell of a lot better than foam alone. With just foam and dap, your blade is going to start to deform in a way we call "...

We should get someone to dress up like a bunny again. That was classic.

The way I like to design mine is to keep the cloth interchangeable. I'd experimented with using PD flats stuck on with carpet tape, but unfortunately that tape fails in the rain. Now if I want to do basic rune designs on cloth flats I just use Tulip Slick Paints which go right on the cloth and are n...

Question: What's the blade material made of and how is it fastened to the core?

Need to set the gallery to public dude.

Not really. The Shrink idea I present would work on NPC giant-sized creatures where Dispel wouldn't have the same effect.

This is a great idea. As a fighter, I've never used the First Aid ability, but with this in place, I may just have to make some red cross bands.

LOL. I don't care what you do with them as long as you don't describe it! *seriously contemplating getting fuzzy sheep toys to sell for gold!*

Is anyone or do you guys know of anyone taking orders for PD weaps? Inquire with Lord Anok, he stated on the FB page he may be taking commisions, or Alhazar of the Northen Kingdoms, who recently has done commish work. I don't know of anyone else who is capable and has the time atm. Alzarahn of the ...

Haha, that was almost Two-for-One Executions day.

The growth mechanic is what people have a problem with, is it not? The down on bad knees action? I might be talking out my ass, but I have a few ideas on how to keep the tactics without the on-the-knees play. You can remove Growth, and add two new spells. Shrink, a spellball that makes Giant-sized c...
