Pennsic

Something I'm going to be doing in a few weeks.  Well, not the field battle, but I'll be watching.

An overview of the Pennsic War.
 

 

[mlooney 3,594]

A bridge battle from Pennsic 48.  Bridge battles tend to be slug fests.

More about Pennsic. Love the line "Superbowl of medieval combat"

Gotta love that location name. "Let's name this town after a common object found literally everywhere there is water."

"Are we there yet? I see a wet rock." "No, not that rock."

"Are we there yet? I see a wet rock." "No, not that rock."

"Are we there yet? I see a wet rock." "No, not that rock."

When the rock is in the water, does the rock get wet?  Or does the water get rocked instead?

Is the rock 'slippery' if no one is attempting to walk on it?

The mountain pass battle (or part of it anyway) from Pennsic XLVIII (3 years ago)
 

 

[mlooney 3,594]

Found a household member in a field battle.  The man in the green surcoat with the yellow crosses on it about 1/3 of the way across from the left side.  Household livery.

Does that make this year’s one L or LI?

[mlooney 3,594]

The didn't have Pennsic for two years due to Covid.  Next year is L.  This year is XLIX

[mlooney 3,594]

I'm going to start posting pictures of my garb this afternoon or tomorrow, depending on temperature.

Roman math is weird.       XLX = L      Solve for X

[ijuin 594]

XLX = L

X^2 * L = L

X^2 = 1

X = 1 or -1

Just so long as it isn't XLAX.

Of course, it could just be IL.

I'm not fully sure why 49 isn't IL in Roman numbers.

The top of my tunic pile.  My persona is sorta generic viking era English, so most of my garb is tunics and maybe pants, depending on the length of the tunic.

[mlooney 3,594]

Next one in the tunic pile.  I suspect this one will be warn with out pants at Pennsic.

[mlooney 3,594]

Similar to the last one, but with different trim and length.  I know this is a pants less tunic.

[mlooney 3,594]

Long sleeve green tunic.  Last of the green ones.  Also a pants less tunic.

[mlooney 3,594]

This one is definitely a with pants tunic.  Also most too short for my period.

[mlooney 3,594]

Another one that is almost too short for my period.
