http://www.darkon.org/Bellum_Aeternus/http://www.facebook.com/events/305166142914532/http://www.darkon.org/boards/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=471http://www.darkon.org/rules.htmlPlease feel free to ask questions, this is going to be an awesome chance to come fight hard core fighters from other games! If it is successful as a day event this year, it will be turned into a weekend long campout next year!!! I will try to field questions here, but the Darkon board and the facebook group may lead to quicker answers. Here's some quick info: -Darkon rules -no Dag/Bel flails -coreless shields WILL be allowed -arrows and javs are NOT head legal (our bows are 40 lbs and our arrows are harder) -your armor WILL count (armor grade for Bel leather will be "Hide" and give you 2 blue hits) -you WILL be allowed to use a bow and 2 handed weapons -there will be 2 "this is your first Darkon event" or "newbie" speeches BEFORE the fighting, the basic combat is familiar to you all, just slightly different rules, it's actually not hard. -you will be allowed to field in your unit colors and be a "country" for the day -It's gonna be awesome! There is A LOT of work being put into the scenarios! I hope to meet at least 1 person from Bel who I've never met before at this event! Thrush berserk

UPDATE:
There will be a food truck and a beer truck on site.
Also, you can only pay the $5 event fee if you don't want to join Darkon (an extra 1 time fee of $5 that gets you a bound and printed rule book).

Thanks, if it is even slightly successful, it will be a 3-4 day campout at the same awesome park next year. This is kind of a test run to gauge people's interest. Word of mouth afterwards will help it happen again!

UPDATE: Quote: The Bellum Aeternus Staff is pleased to announce that Ruby Salon will be merchanting at our event. What do they sell? They will be doing an assortment of braiding, and styles for men, women and Children. There will be a sign-up sheet for appointment times, so no one has to wait in line or miss an event. All Maryland board guidelines of cleanliness will be followed for your protection and theirs. The Salon's website is http://rubysalon.net/- Quote:
The battle coordinators for Bellum Aeternus are bringing you another update for the fights you will be participating in during the event. We bring you one of the No Quarter! favorites KICK THE CAN!!!!!!
Kick the can is played kind of like soccer. Touching the can is not permitted with the hands, but you can hit it with weapons, shields, and feet. There will be a goal at each end of the field and the object of the game will be to kick the can through the goal. Pretty simple right.
Lay on will happen with the can in the middle of the field and each team battling for possession. There will be two rez points for each team at the corners of the field near their goal. The field is reset after every point. Please feel free to ask questions.
