Hey there! I did a quick search on your blog and didn't see mention of this, so I thought I'd ask since you seem pretty knowledgeable (if that's ok!)

I was wondering what your thoughts are on Medieval Times and their performance practice with horses? Is it enrichment or is it overwork/abuse? Does it depend on location?

I'm asking because the only takes I've seen before have either been from animal-rights-activist vegan types who think using animals for entertainment is bad no-matter-what, or from more conservative folks who don't actually care about animal welfare to begin with and think it all must be fine as long as it's "legal." I'd love to see an actually educated take from someone more well-rounded! If this is asking too much you don't have to answer it, of course. I've always wanted to go back to a medieval times, but I also don't want to be supporting something bad!

Thank you!! Your blog is very interesting and I love what you do :)

Thank you! And I'm happy to discuss just about anything involving horses.

Mock jousting is a fine horse sport and is generally very low stress at that. Jousts like those seen at Medival Times and ren fairs are choreographed and performed by trained actors, very little is expected of the horses. All the horses have to do is gallop in a straight line, and be brave enough to carry flags, run passed eachother, and be chill with brittle fake weapons and riders flying off their backs. Comparing it to many other horse sports which I also am not against or even partake in myself, jousting horses have it pretty easy. In my sport we basically train our horses to be fit enough to gallop for 5-10 minutes straight. Jousting horses only have to gallop for 30 seconds max per match. While I don't necessarily follow it that closely, I've yet to see any mishaps on horses associated with jousting.

Personally I'm a huge fan of just about any kind of mounted martial arts. In pretty much all cases, a bit of courage with strange sensations and noises is all that is really expected of horses used for it and really it's a good thing to prepare any horse for. I've personally been trying to get into mounted archery, and my cousin did rodeo where she competed in mounted shooting.

The only potential issue i can see maybe is the facilities the horses are kept, but from what little I know in how horses are kept for things like medeval times is that they tend to outsource from horse farms that have horses trained for these types of jobs and they rotate through so they will spend some time at the facility and some time on their home farm where they will get light work and training brush ups with plenty of rest days where they can go out and be horses.

In the comics it was 3km I believe?

underated scenes - in my opinion -; The Old Guard Edition [2/5]. Three Minutes?

[adventuresandshopping]

I'm putting this here mainly for my own references and for any old-schooler or AD&D players who might want a little context of Wizards of the Coast trying to clean up their act, and perhaps in reference to disclaimers on problematic legacy titles.

I'm not a big fan of watching VODs all the way through - somehow I can just about make it through when it's live. So I've only made it to the 30 minute mark. Some of it is so far interesting in terms of how certain words like "Orient", "exotic"or "mysticism" be an associative triggers to negative generalisation. I'm already having a lot of trouble with the criticism that the game deliberately seperates the Occident from the Orient to create a conquestable "other" and fetishises culture - I understand why it looks this way, but D&D is about exploring and visiting imaginative locales. The context in the introduction page to OA was that the game was more than just extra weapons to be imported into a Western Euro centric style game, and this was a whole new everything, a whole new world. Religion and violence is big in AD&D proper, the Sohei here is described as like a paladin, it does not seem dimuntive or derogatory in the context of the game as a whole. I'm less familar with OA 3e - but I think I have it somewhere, and so far the criticism is of the font, which is absolutely fair enough (it's not a 1960s take-away menu), but again I argue that these are about cliches and poor quality ideas, ... but I need to watch the rest. - I remember OA 3rd edition having a great map by the way. I really like the fact that the AD&D 1e and later is mash up of all sorts of mythologies and European cultures, and that it's abstract so you can build your own world, your own countries. Unlike in the FGU game Bushido, Kara-Tur in AD&D isn't even medeval Japan - it's not a real place, but infused with a cherry picking of notions of ideas and legendary monsters from several countries (Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia), some might say this is negatively derivative. For an old schooler like me this mixing pot of things is perfectly acceptable. Part of the problem is looking at this book as a serious resource of actual culture, I don't think we ever did - I can see why the mix might frustrate a purists of Shinto lore for example, or for an expert of specific warfare practices, politics (martial arts, even) by region. I think we might be doing the intelligence of the readers and players a disservice, if we don't give them the credit of understanding that it is homogenised and doesn't represent historical or modern Japan (Korea, China, Mongolia). If we said rulebooks were based on movies and books and not on cultures, maybe that would be a better start. I think I understand some of the issues with language, but I need to watch more to understand where and how the hosts find the these books harmful to the modern reader or player.

1 & 20

1: How do you take your tea/coffee?

As the Cuban's say, cafe con leche, aka lots of milk, lots of sugar, and then a serving of coffee.

20: Favorite weapon for a medeval battle?

Idk a sword since a flame thrower isn't avalible and I'm assuming no dragons.

[discreative]

[WP] You and your nerdy best friend just got ISEKAI'D into a medeval fantasy world. He's always studied chemistry, but fortunately, you've studied the blade.

Not a lot of story in this one but I wanted to practice character introduction/description because I suck at those.

Original prompt by u/Solidsecondplace on r/WritingPrompts, response by me.

--------------------------------------------

The two young men stood in front of the castle gates, both equally nervous (even if one of them showed it more clearly). The tallest sighed, and turned to his friend:

"Come on, bud! It'll be fine, we just need to find a wizard or something so we can go home."

He was confident, or at least gave that impression; every aspect of his stance, the way he spoke, he just radiated bravery. One would have trouble calling that bluff, though the slightly shaking hands, hard as they were to notice, would certainly be a giveaway.

The same could not be said for his friend. Short, slightly chubby and shivering all over, one look at his face (and the fingernail currently being chewed) would tell anyone what he was feeling: pure anxiety.

"Come on, Nial." He said to the other one. "We both watch anime. That's never how it works."

"Come on, Felix" The other one replied, mockingly. "Who knows if it works that way or not? You sure won't, not until you try it. Isn't that the whole 'scientific method' you're always on about?"

That didn't exactly calm Felix's nerves, but he decided to go along with it anyway.

Their arrival at this world had been unexpected, as any spontaneous interdimensional travel would be. Though he had to admit, it was a little exciting. Both of them had been long time fans of anime, and in a way they were better prepared than most.

Felix probably had the most average life of the two; he had a normal upbringing, was a good student, and was a complete nerd who liked anime. As in, he had been obsessed with anime ever since he had discovered it. He could name and explain every popular trope, always kept an eye on manga likely to get an adaptation and even started learning japanese (though, perhaps surprisingly, had not given up when he learned it would be very difficult).

His favorite anime was Dr. Stone, and he'd started really enjoying and learning chemistry because of it; which now felt rather relevant, as the situation he was in was oddly similar, save for all the magic. That would be a complication.

His friend Nial, on the other hand, was a little odd, though not in a bad way; he'd just had an interesting life. Ever since he was a kid, he'd shown an interest in swords (as most kids do), and to his luck his grandfather happened to be a blacksmith who occasionally smithed replicas of swords, daggers, battleaxes, a little of everything. And a few unfortunate accidents meant he wasn't very present in school, so he eventually dropped out and started smithing with his grandpa.

Naturally, his taste in anime had gravitated towards anything with good swordsmanship, like Bleach. Looking at him, you wouldn't know; he didn't look like the type of guy that watched anime, in fact he looked remarkably fit. Though they do say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

And unlike most teens who watch anime and like swords, Nial actually knew a lot about them; not just how to make them, but to use them too, which took a long time to learn (mostly because not just everyone can teach that). Of course he wouldn't beat anyone with any weapon, and he couldn't just be given enough metal and smith anything, but he knew enough that Felix felt comfortable being in this strange, foreign world (or at least, he didn't feel like he was in mortal peril).

As the castle gates opened, they stepped inside. This would be a long journey, that much was sure. But who knows, maybe they'll leave with a good story; good enough to make a hit anime, even.
