[Hellsgate] Hellsgate Digest, Vol 26, Issue 9

Mon Aug 6 10:13:49 PDT 2012

I will be there both days to fight heavy, talk about armouring/medieval fighting (backed up with documentation of course), bring things for show and tells, and help out however you all need. Anything you'd like me to bring or talk about in particular?
