  1. I was saddened to hear that Creations' (nee #StarfireSwords) master swordsmith, Zach, passed away over the last year.

    Back in my #StageCombat days, Starfires and their distinctive leather- and wire-wrapped grip style were one of our main standbys. The steel made this gorgeous ringing sound any time you had blade on blade contact.

    Although I never got to meet the man in person, the beauty and care that he brought into the world enriched my life immeasurably. I was also happy to hear that the legacy he built lives on.

  2. Small note about stage combat with swords: it must _appear_ you are attacking the person, and they are attacking you, not that you are hitting or aiming for their sword.

    Just saw the umpteenth fight where they were clearly waiting for parries before starting attacks, and that’s not the story.

  7. Okay, maybe I should also write an #introduction?

    Since it's a Sunday morning, let's get this warning off first: I'm grumpy, old, sarcastic dude before my first cup of #coffee and I probably don't change much afterwards.

    I'm located in south-west Germany, working at the local university and doing some #science there. And some #sysadmin stuff.

    To get away from the keyboard, I play p&p #rpgs, #boardgames, do some #stagecombat and like to #cook.

    All this together sounds quite nerdy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
