I noticed that most Belegarth groups spin off of the LOTR universe. Is this due to some rule, or is it just a general convention? I have another fantasy universe in mind, if you haven't noticed.
Also, fighter practices are supposed to be held in some park on a regular basis. Does that mean that all events need to take place on the same boring piece of grass? There are some interesting places in the SF Bay Area that would make cool locations for scenario combat. Ideas?
