Boats: Three minutes of fireballs and siege weapons is a lot of killin, Man o wars have 4 guns. I like the idea of 2 bridge battle. but I dont want to see more pillow fighting. more mechanics that involve swinging swords.

Yeah, the steel skin change coupled with the fancy new "multi ball" spells only makes it so you can one shot a mage (in melee and out of melee) even if you stack a pro fire on that. Someone could have fully charged bracers, arcane armor, and pro fire, using up 6 sp just to get taken down ...

Darkon Coin proposal overhaul Discussion Current rule set for coins in Darkon. “Coins: Treasure plays only a small role in actual battle, but can be crucial during adventures. The monetary standard in Darkon is the silver piece. For large amounts of money a country Leader or the Land Marshal may is...

I agree with many things said in this thread so far; mostly that mages need a re-balance and diversity. I agree with Murphy that the run and gun style is not the way to have such a spell for several reasons mentioned. Not only is face a legal target, but so are hands and feet; two locations you cann...

Please do not be a forum Cleric, This conversation is from a year and a half ago... You are very late to a resolved issue.

"Designs, if any, on shields may be reflective of the country heraldry or personal heraldry of the bearer. However, shields can be blank or have other designs as the participant desires. Participants may not use heraldry of a country, knight or Master/Mistress to 16 which they are not affiliate...

Do you want to get better at fighting on the field at Darkon? Can you not make it to Tuesday practice? Do you not know what to practice to improve yourself? Have you hit a platau and feel like you can't improve? We are putting together a series of short seminars geared toward newer fighters and vets...

I wish I could come out to Tuesday, but probobly not for the rest of the semester, I dont get out of class until 7:30. That doesnt mean other people shouldn't show up though. People need to practice, perhaps people will show up through winter if there is indoor practice.

1/2 inch wood core for shields, 1/4 for bucklers. there can be up to 6 inches from core to the edge of the shield

Overnight events honestly should be 18+ not only to protect the game itself but its members. Boffers are now even more popular and have more publicity than ever before, which in turn raises the risk of our game being targeted by media as well as law actions. We are in fact one of the few games that ...

I would cosign the proposal and in response say that more people would be hired out to fill the spots the same mercs would over and over. currently I could go on both defensive and offensive actions of the same country as well as my own. However with new rules I would have to choose where to help sa...

The chairs will be great at Rag

Congratulations to the winners of the People's Arms Tournament - 5 Man Team - No Quarter! Single Sword - Diggy Sword and Board - Kanin Two Sword - Thorson Greatsword - Thorson Dagger - Kanin Polearm - Thrush FreeStyle - Colin There was A tie for 1st and 2nd place grand champion between Diggy and Kan...

Fingers, I would also like to know your sources on where nobles get all these things from you claim they receive. Since becoming a noble of the realm all I have received less in coin then I have gotten in the past, offered more services to the realm itself and still this tree of coin raining has not...

I find it amusing that the nobles were asked to put that purse together, the 5 chairs were made by a noble of the realm, and each individual prize as well as the prize for the champion was made by a noble of the realm, and the entire event a noble has given his time ( and effort in ensuring it was s...

Kick The Can The battle coordinators for Bellum are bringing you another update for the fights you will be participating in during the event. We bring you one of the No Quarter! favorites KICK THE CAN!!!!!! Kick the can is play...

I agree that this years schedule is kinda awkward... Why are there like 4 thousand adventure day battles at the start of the year and none at the end? can we remove some and use those days for pre-adventures and campouts and make them more occasional? perhaps spread them out? while it has been said ...

I love rez battles, especially in cold weather. Bridge battles are cool when there is more than one bridge in Darkon imo, or some interesting changes. ( wierd shape bridges or small magic changes - ie: things like Halcons bridge battle incorporated. ) however I dislike ice breakers as a rez battle b...

BA II is including an adventure portion happening Thursday and Friday this year. What you all enjoyed last year on a Sunday will be happening on Saturday this year, The large battles ( Battle day rules for these ). Merchants will be there throughout the weekend as well as performances and shows in t...

Its a good article, lots of info. spread it around perhaps it will draw more people out to Bellum II and other day events.

New fighter ability, you just have to act like you are wearing plate, no more wearing it! You know RP sweating more and getting tired faster.
