  1. This was cool until I got to the strange Danielle Steel ending. Not sure now.
  2. Catching up on my Burn Notice.

  4. Thumb healed faster than expected. Back to work with the pliers!

  5. I make maille (armor and jewelry). Some folks expressed either interest in general or surprise at the pricing in TS3, so I thought I'd share a cool resource on maille and one vendor's pricing and time to delivery: />http://www.chainmailguy.com/pricing.htm For me, I'm in the process of a 5/16" 18 gauge titanium shirt in 6-1 european weave, which is denser (and smoother) than the normal 4-1 euro weave. It'll also be much lighter than steel. For a full shirt of stainless steel, you're looking at about 20-30 pounds. With this, I'm estimating 5-8 pounds. Still not great for wearing all day, but big difference! I will be wearing mine at the Maryland Renfest. :) Dragonscale: Mostly a jewelry weave, but it resembles scales. Pretty awesome. For armor, it's a problem because in addition to bad stretching charactistics, the smaller interior rings supply the strength. Questionable weave for armor-class maille, but neat for trim or casual. Some of the shirt I'm doing now, with a roll of the back piece and some of the collar: And a sample of the "usual" armor weave in stainless steel (I think that's 16 gauge 3/8" rings, though it may be 14g) against the 6-1 titanium. The 4-1 is the large patch, and the titanium is around it. 6-1 is really my fav, it's smoother and makes neat patterns as it moves. It does take slightly more rings and time to make though. And lastly, I'm mixing in some anodized titanium for the shoulder pieces of my shirt, in a 4-1 variation, and adding the blue for trim on the bottom hem and sleeves. Should be interesting. Here's a shot of one of the shoulder pieces in this weave and color: Disraeli

  7. I am not in need of sketches but would gladly make a linden donation to the artist for even offering.
  8. Hey all. I'm planning on being more active, but it'll take me a bit to get back up to speed. I've already had an informative welcome in-game and have the handbook in hand, so glad to be back around. Dis
  9. http://straightforwa...d.blogspot.com/ I watch this blog in my RSS feeds, and the guy has a lot to say about self-defense and making the most use of your brain to keep yourself alive. His bio is worth reading also to see where he's coming from, and his Dark Arts for Good Guys series of posts is pretty interesting too. I'll just include an excerpt from one of the posts to illustrate kind of what he deals with:
  10. Hey all. I just wanted to introduce myself (briefly). I'm Disraeli, and am still working out where I go within the Ordo structure (janitor). I'm about at odd times due to my timezone (11 hours ahead of Eastern Time), but I do try to be on as much as possible, and do get offline IMs. I may be on with a text-only client sometimes, so if I ignore tels and inventory and such, but am on, that'd be why. :) Cheers to all comrades, Calderwood
