Sponge-bob print etc, is probably a bad idea even though it is within the rules, a subdued plaid pattern is perfectly acceptable to the rules AND the vast majority of fighters. I would not hesitate to use it myself and neither should you. Shields tend to receive even more leeway than weapons for patterns and such because they were historically painted and most basic fabric prints could have conceivably been painted to match.

1.3.6. All striking surfaces must have a cloth covering.
This says NOTHING about the covering's material or pattern.
Perhaps the rules should be updated.

I can't remember the last time you were at an event for longer than 5 minutes.
Practice, good camping materials, plenty of booze to knock you out, lots of water the next day, and a willingness to just deal with being tired and possibly sore because we get to fight against 100+ people and party afterwards with quality folks.Black Cat wrote:I don't know how you people sleep on the ground in your tents like that and get any real rest.

Black Cat wrote:Just to be clear, if I see a plaid, striped, etc. sword cover at an event, I'm not going to bother having any problem with it because I'll be too busy yakking, fighting, or doing something else. The rare times I actually show up to an event, I go to one to participate in it. Not to criticize other peoples' gear.
