"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Good day to you...
« on: 2011-01-22, 15:00:36 »
Hail brave knights !

And it is certainly an honor to behold all.... of you..

Anyway, I have an inkling as to what this hobby is all about, but I probably know little. I've been meaning to get involved for years, but I was always too lazy. Now I suppose, I'm not getting any younger, and I certaintly wouldn't be young by the standards of the time period I want to emulate. In Dark Ages years, I'm probably closer to 90 then 25.

And I'll probably need a little bit of help getting started. I'm guessing I'll have to do a little research, I was thinking it might be interesting to explore a more exotic European locale, if that's recommended for beginners.

Anywho, I look forward to hearing from you all. :)

Hail and well met! Pull up a chair near the hearth and take your ease and we’ll lift a tankard or two as you revel us with some tales of your deeds! Oh and welcome to the forum!  :)

Welcome to the forum! There are many ways to get started, whether it's by reading or buying cool toys. :) We all have to start somewhere, so don't hesitate to ask whatever questions come to mind.

Good to see you Sir Arnwald. I love that name.
And it seems we are having an explosion of young people on the forum hereabouts!

And I hate being 16, when I sit next to the hearth, I can never revel with the tankards.......... :P :-\
Haha, welcome to the forum!

Believe me, there's no rush. You'll be older before you know it, and you won't be able to stop it. Then you'll long for your more youthful days. :)
