RenFaires 2014 Season
Sir Nate:
That weekend works for me. Or the one before it. I tried to convince my folks to go two days, but they are not as.... Pro for it as me.
So Id be there on a Saturday.
Sir Brian:
Here is some updated information in regards to carrying faux swords into MDRF:
As was discovered late last season by Stormdelver and confirmed to be carried over this year, they will allow our faux swords as long as you can pull it from the scabbard and show them it does not have a blade. Basically a three to four inch residual blade is acceptable, so it is essential it is able to be removed from the scabbard.
That said my old Maryland *special* scabbard is really cracked and coming apart at the edges so I will have to make another one. I’m thinking of making another scabbard core but making it solid except for the portion that the shortened blade needs to be inserted into.

Good and bad news!
That is good news because the solid core idea seems like it might help some with counter-balancing the top-heavy hilt if the belt suspension doesn't keep the sword hanging properly on it's own. Plus, we can look like we have a sword at least.
That is bad news because now I need to make a "maryland special" so I'm not swordless.
Lord Dane:
I still say we just buy them out & change the weapons policy to our liking. Just need a majority of the corporate shares. :)
Sir William:
I have a 'faire sword' that is permanently affixed to the scabbard; I'm going to try and run w/that since its a whole pkg thing (sword, scabbard, baldric) - we'll see what we'll see. If I need to, there's another wall hanger I could destroy for this purpose.
