mikeD Streeter asked me to contact the current King of Sparta about some changes that they did in The Spartan Empire sim. I really didn’t want to bother anyone so I just went there myself. I know, I said I won’t return to The Spartan Empire but this one was different, mikeD requested it.

Rulers of Sparta

When I got there, I wasn’t sure what I was looking for so I just wandered around until I found it, the Spartan Theater and the Spartan Court. Between the two is a small where a series of stone figures are lined up. Engraved on these stone figures are the names of The Spartan Empire’s former Kings and Queens. I was surprsed to learn that The Spartan Empire had that many rulers already in less than a year. King Dacalen and Queen Jackie’s names are there too.

A few days ago Medieval England celebrated their first Harvest Faire (I think it was their first) and I was their to enjoy the festivities. The Harvest Faire was a two day all day event with games, prizes and barrels of ale for everyone to enjoy.

I was more of a spectator than a participant on the first day of the event. I spent most of my day just watching the games and taking snapshots of the activities. Unfortunately, some of my snapshots did not get uploaded. I was uploading my snapshots by sending them by e-mail to Flickr. Flickr then crossposted them to my Blogger blog but Flickr was not able to save a few of them. It must be because of lag or something. [...continue reading Fun at the Harvest Faire]

Today (or was it yesterday), I met Johnnytreadlightly Nightfire. He is the owner of JTL Designs and creator of many medieval items like swords, armors, structures and more. In fact, I have one of his weapons, the Askold Warhammer (Horseback), and I’m saving some lindens to buy a standard version of the Hammer.

I found him sitting at the Wharf where we had a brief chat. He also showed me his newly created Horse On A Stick which is currently FREE at Medieval England. The horse is quite funny and it reminded me of my kids playing horsy with our broom or whatever stick they can find. If you want one then come down to Medieval England. It’s located at the Wharf just beside the big ship. [...continue reading Horse On A Stick]

I was at Medieval England today waiting for the start of the Harvest Faire. While I was looking around, a squire of Annwn Barony named Rhyno Wirefly went to spar with a citizen named pug Lemon using a sword named Excalibur. Excalibur is a sword embedded on a rock which is near the Jousting Arena. Rhyno Wirefly was able to extract it from the rock.

His name is pug Lemon and he got angry for a FREEBIE!

Now, while I was shooting some arrows I read a message from Excalibur that pug Lemon failed to pull it out. It seems that the sword Excalibur re-appears after being pulled out of the rock. I got curious and so I tried pulling it out too and after a few tries Excalibur was released from the rock. It means that I got the sword. He he he! [...continue reading Got Angry for a Freebie!]

On October 18 and 19 (Saturday and Sunday), 2008 RPG Empire’s Medieval England will hold a Harvest Faire event. So, what is this Harvest Faire thing? Honestly, I am not familiar with it but I stumbled upon a Harvest Faire website and according to that website:

Harvest Faire is a modern interpretation of a late 15th century European fall harvest celebration and tournament. Entertainers and a market mix with the sounds of good-natured martial competition and the smells of period cooking. Watch a craftsperson plying their trade, try your hand at games of chance and skill, and cheer for the warrior of your choice at the Field of Honors. - HarvestFaire.org

Just like the real thing, Medieval England’s Harvest Faire will also feature games and tournaments like Jousting, Horse Racing and others. For a complete list of events please see the schedule below. [...continue reading Medieval England’s Harvest Faire]
