[Ansteorra] Same-Gender Consort Proposal

[Rose]

Are the barrels made of plastic? If so, I know a ton of fighters wearing plastic under their fighting tunics. It makes a passable lorica, I'd say. Of course, my tent and chair are made by Coleman and my favorite event shoes are flip-flops from Old Navy, so unless we're discussing scribal, I am the last person to know much about accuracy.

I fight in rigid plates and a bascinet, but play a 10th century Norseman. Between rounds I rehydrate with pretzels, oranges and Gatorade. But I can't enter the lists inspired by another man, because that would be a departure from period.
