Now that that is out of the way, lets talk Dagorhir.
For those who don't know what it is, Dagorhir (DAG for short) is a "sport" based on middle earth battles of a medieval fashion. Here's the main Dagorhir site for those who would like to learn more details about it beyond what little i can name off the top of my head ( http://www.dagorhir.com/ ), but for a TLDR version, you basically fight among each other or as teams and sometimes in very large LARP-style battles with foam weapons ranging anywhere from daggers to large claymores and battle axes and even projectiles such as javelins and archery. Despite the dangerous and irresponsible tone it may come off with at first, it has a very in-depth honor code with many instructions and regulations for safe and honorable play. Whether just with friends for the excuse of beating each other up in a fun and exciting fashion, or delving deep into the role playing of medieval maids and knights, Dagorhir is an engaging proactive "sport" for both young and old, and also doubles as a way to learn self defense. You never know what kind of fighting styles or weapons you're gonna see out on the field, and there is just so much to try and learn that's there is almost on a skyrim level of opportunites available for you when it comes to weapons and garb. Overall, it's just a fun activity for anyone and i think everyone should give it a try. :3
If you already know what Dag is and have participated before (whether actively or just everyone now and again), start the forum off with your own personal preferences (weapon type of choice, game name, fighting style or special moves, garb style, favorite game mode, ext. Maybe even pictures of weapons you've made. Just anything you'd like to share to get things started and defines you as a dagorhir player). As for myself, my game name is Kitsune and i'm a bit of a jack of all trades, but master of none. I can work most any weapon(s) to an average degree, but i have yet to find what works best for me. I often find myself playing with a bo staff or claymore, and i'd like to learn how to use both a lot better, but the two things i really want to learn and get really good at are wielding a claymore red properly and learning an effective style for Florentine blue short swords (preferably with a small buckler on my left hand for parrying). I don't have official garb yet, but i'm planning on a more eastern fashion and am saving up for some red Hakama pants and a red sleeveless gi top; pair that with my black belt, shoes, head band, and red and black claymore, and i think that would look pretty awesome. xD
What about you? What kind of Dag players does H&E have in store? :3
