More than happy to give credit to tolkin:
AND
credit to Historians without we would have no;
Greek gods and heros, norse gods and heros,
ningas ( spelling is not my forte ): and a host
of villains and heros. i do have to slightly
agree with some who feel that D&D rules can be
very hard to understand. But the man who wields
a one handed axe (wt- 2lbs with a plus 1 hit point),
should wack the enemy carring a 10 lb sword twice
as fast as the enemy. But then how much strength,
stamina, any poison?, resistances, armor should
be taken into account? Preferably a computer can
be my dungeon master. The paper Dungeon Master
has to be extreamly good to track each player's
character. By the way have you seen The movie
A Knight's Tale? If you really want to ride a
horse and joust in the 14th century; that is as
close to the real thing as doing it!!
Before i had to retire; Chicago (usa) had the
first renassance fair ever. (1962?) I had the
chance to Joust. We used padded poles. Alot of
fun but it hurt like hell when you were unhorsed.
