What about swords across the ass, ninja style?
>>46017395
It depends on a lot of factors.
The single short sword across the lower back works pretty well.
>>46017395
short swords are okay, and on the lower back though
standard swords, any, is fucking retarded
>>46017579

>>46018454
There are still swords with very precise regulations handed out to actual military personnel in this world. And it's not just random SEA minor states, either. Even parts of the United States do it. There were sword kills in Desert Storm.
>>46018967
>There were sword kills in Desert Storm.
You know how those happen?
Pissed off Marine Corps NCOs, salty about having to buy that stupid fucking dress sword out of their own pocket, take it with them downrange and "ain't going home 'til I kill somebody with this fuckin' thing".
>>46018967
you will never kill a Muslim with a sword like a crusader
The issue is either that the strap for the scabbard either has to be able to move freely for the weapon to be drawn at any time or that the scabbard it's self take up only half or less of the blade length with the lower part only held my a ring of material for the weapon to be able to be drawn with ease at a moment's notice.
Even then it's a bitch to put back. And of course, the longer the blade the more effort it takes.
It's fine for carrying a big blade about for a long march, it's stupid for use in heat of the moment.

Is there a Schola Gladiatoria response to these videos?
>>46017395
Usually yeah, this guy does it well though
I like how people in the setting comment on how its usually stupid.
>>46019139
He has talked about carrying swords (and shields) on the back before, but I don't know of he has done a video just on it
>>46019185
I particularly like the way he flicks the sheath up with his off hand when he's sheathing the blade.
>>46017459
HAHAHA he does to.
>>46019302
Yeah thats a really nice touch
U wot
>>46019389
Well if there's one thing Geralt does well its sheathing swords.
>>46019139
He talks about "hip" scabbards and "back" scabbards.
Mostly larger, heavy weapons were probably carried on your back and you usually had enough time to take them out but they are not made for quick drawing which is why smaller hip weapons are a thing for when you don't have time.
>>46019491
Are you talking aboutintercourse?
>>46019075
Never know your luck in a mad, mad world
>>46019389
Notice how even when he does it, the last 3rd of the blade has to clip itself into the sheath.
They are not used for quick readying weapons, they are used to help reduce the strain of carrying a heavy weapon for extended periods of time.
>>46019534Yes
>>46019491
Jeje, innuendos never get old
>>46019389
Dat clipping doe.
>>46019574
I think that has more to do with it being a game and the limitations of the animation. Besides Witchers aren't normal. They are supernaturally fast and agile and train really, really hard.
>>46019574
Game has some problems with swords clipping through sheaths. If you do it while running though, he sheaths it while leaning forward and it doesn't clip. Thats seems to be the method that makes the most sense.
>>46019572
There is a dude out there right now fighting ISIS with a sword and some iPhones strapped to his chest.
>>46019712
Sword fair enough, but Iphones? bitch might as well be going in naked.
>>46019739
They are so he can stream himself killing ISIS fucks. He got fed up with ISIS being the only ones posting videos of themselves fucking shit up.
I know the Chinese had guys carrying Dadaos on their backs in Korea, but I don't think those even had sheaths, they were just carried by a strap. It makes sense if the thing is literally to big to carry practically on your hip and you also have to carry a gun, or something.

>>46017395 I dunno, I tried it with a model sword at one point, and it did't go too well. My arm wasn't long enough to pull it out all the way. It does look cool though.
>>46019656
>Besides Witchers aren't normal. They are supernaturally fast and agile and train really, really hard.
Right so he doesn't have to worry about weight and balance as much, so they should be on his hip so he can draw them quickly.
His arm just isn't long enough to do the animation, which means he can't actually sheath the weapon while it's on his back even while messing with the sheath.
>>46019808
I'll bet you 100 dollars that some guy who knew blender convinced some Colonel who was his uncle to fund it so that he could put it on his resume.

I think if most of the country knew how sycophantic our military really was all those discounts and shit would dry right the fuck up...
>>46019821
The first game actually did this right. He would actually hold up along the blade, and drop the sword in.
>>46019806
I knew I had a picture somewhere.
>>46019903
Yep, and when he took it out he basically threw the blade out of the non existent sheath and caught it. Wish I could find a gif
>>46017395

Although those fuckers are crazy, someone probably is using phones as armour out there.
The Sheath for the MC in Shadows of Mordor did it right. It was a singular mettle piece that he could clip on and off with ease.
>>46020006
there's nothing i love to see more than a crpg with relaxed, weapon-specific idle animations. bow in one hand, axe slung over the shoulder, leaning casually on the spear - that's the good shit and I'm always grateful when people take the time to animate it.
>>46020079
I'm pretty sure you just carry it. You certainly don't put your weight on it. For long-distance transport your bow would be unstrung so just wrap it in oilcloth and strap it to your pack or saddle.

Sometimes bows were carried with a strap that resembles the ones you carry a rifle with. Modern bows, especially recurves, can be disassembled into smaller pieces, letting you fit it in a relatively small box. Otherwise, wrap in oilskin and tuck it away somewhere.
>>46021632
>>46021632
I imagine he picked the name for it's significance, yes. Or better yet got it given to him by his enemies. Since Azrael is the Angel of Death and judgement in Islam, too.
Reminds me of the early days in Afghanistan. There were stories from some of the old tribesmen about a Soviet sniper they called the Blue Djinn. Blue djinni are evil djinn, according to Islamic folklore.

Thats pretty fucking badass. Not to derail the sword thread but I am interested in hearing more.
>>46020032
Yep, and lower officers fucking HATE it. It screws with promotions something terrible. The higher echelon is not about how good you are, it's about how much patronage you have and which ass you can kiss. For example, in the field, normally, a captain or higher would be commanding a unit at that rank's level. In the Pentagon, a captain makes coffee runs. If he's not screwing the Brig's daughter.

There's all kind of folksy superstition there, we used to move around the mountains quite a lot because the locals where scare shitless of them at night as there where evil spirits and dragons living in them that killed people.
Also through the day they where quite cautious about the hills around midday as there would be wicked female ghosts that would come out around that time and murder them.

Yes, though its been talked about in the thread how those wouldn't really help that much with quick drawing a sword off your back, you need longer arms. At least the devs put some effort into giving Geralt semi-realistic animations

You laugh now but when technology manages to advance so far as to wrap around, those mall ninjas might very well serve as the basis for our new sword based method of warfare.

No he doesn't. It clips whenever he draws the blade. It's clearly too long to realistically work

Where are we fighting? If I'm in a shield wall I'll want my long sword on my back because it will be easier to draw in the press when the enemy's wall breaks and it's time to push through.

Oh, what a relief. I thought they somehow managed to make a "Devil Summoning" program.
>>46032161
>I'll want my long sword on my back because it will be easier to draw in the press
It can't be very long if you want to be able to draw it from your back. Maybe 60-65 cm of blade if your arms resemble mine.
Of course, in the press you might not want anything much longer, but even then, drawing from your hip means you can keep your arm somewhat safe behind your shield without exposing your legs and blinding yourself in the process.
The guy behind you probably won't be very happy about the back draw either, someone bump either of you at the wrong time and he gets the tip in his face.
>>46032161
If you're wielding a longsword and fighting in a shield wall you're clearly experiencing some sort of temporal anomaly.
Never mind that a swinging about a long slashing weapon in a close-quarters press is a great way to lop the man next to you's arm off as he presses in to cover you with his shield rim.
Take a one handed thrusting spear, and a long knife or hatchet.
If you're wealthy maybe spring for a Spatha.

Once your lance is stuck, once you're off your horse, once you lost mace/warhammer's gone, once your shield's off, THEN you start to think of picking up the sword. Or just grab your dagger and wrestle stab the nearest enemy knight.

The correct answer is "tactical withdrawal".
If you're unhorsed the only correct course of action is to either play dead or get re-horsed sharpish and flee.
Those filthy peasant Yeomen may look like funny little squishy organ bags from up on a horses back, but once you're at eye level you start to notice things like numerical advantage, and the savage expressions of satisfaction on their yucky peasant mooshes as one pulls a wriggling man at arms from the saddle with a billhook and they fall on him beating with cudgels and probing with bollock knives.
>>46017395
>>46017395
Iirc some real sword on back may have existed, but it would have been very short.
Other than great swords which go on back, but don't draw off the back.
Isn't it ok to put a sword on ones back if they are/were traveling? Seems easier to walk from point A to B (or maybe ride) that way. Not a good idea if it is going to be used anytime, but for travel it seems alright.
>>46032620
You could still wrap the blade in oil cloth that would remain attached to the sheath, it wouldn't be that hard. Besides when it comes to humidity your only defense is keeping the blade oiled anyway.

Are you genuinely autistic? What out of the things I mentioned is lazy world-building?
What have retarded but edgycool things like Swords on the back to do with lazy world building?
So ignoring the troll, what is wrong with people who actually think it being 'fantasy' means you do not have to put any effort in? Because there is never an excuse for being lazy just because of the genre.
I have lost count of the number of idiots who use the 'well dragons exist so now NOTHING has to be thought out or internally consistent' argument.
>>46034922
>So ignoring the troll,
But you are the troll, mate.
>>46034954
So lets get this straight. Wanting an internally consistent fantasy world where retarded things do not stop being retarded because its fantasy is 'trolling'.
But being the kind of moron who responds by calling someone autistic for no actual reason like >>46034855 isn't.
>>46034587
They actually are mainly killing people belonging to the ethnic christians and muslims of different philosophies. They'll just as happily kill any atheists or homosexuals they find as well.
>>46034549

>>46034999
>Wanting an internally consistent fantasy world where retarded things do not stop being retarded because its fantasy is 'trolling'.
But thats not what you said.
Once again, what does edgycool stuff have to do with a consistent fantasy world?
>>46034954
Different anon here. I'm with the consistency guy. Just because magic exists doesn't mean you have to phone everything in or handwave.
ex: how do dragons fly? Could be some serious reinforcement on otherwise hollow bones combined with a completely different type of metabolism and muscle makeup. But , heres where i'd personally call the line, you can handwave how that happened using magic. Did it evolve to take advantage of magic someway, did a mage create it, was it just the unintended fallout of some magical disaster? All of the above or non handwave away beyond this point.
>>46034280
The majority of people don't give one lick of a fuck about that shit.
what about (as I have hypothesized) strapping a magnet to your back thats strong enough to clamp onto a sword...it looks like it works rather well in Final Fantasy 12...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOt2Z3G2oDY
>>46035576
Different guy just deciding to give my own opinion on stuff. When playing a fantasy setting I honestly do not care as long as some line in the sand is drawn BEFORE the setting is used?
Can the strongest human in the setting cleave a mountain in half with a butter knife with the only explanation being "he trained really hard"? Ok, I'm cool with that. As long as that is the line that has been set and it can't be crossed I'm good.
>>46036707
If the magnet is strong enough to securely hold the sword, it's strong enough to make quickly getting your sword troublesome.
Electromagnets might work so you can unmag when it's go time, but then you're starting to get into complex systems.
>>46036707
Depends when we're talking. A magnet that powerful back we. A sword would be useful and actually properly shaped would be immensely and prohibitively expensive. A time, such as now, having a magnet that strong on your back could absolutely fuck up your electronically equipment.
another issue would be getting the damn sword off in the first place since you'd want one strong enough to withstand day to day activities without slipping and accidentally lining the back of your calf up with the sword point or falling off entirely but still be weak enough to pull off the sword one handed which isn't going to be happening.
>>46036757
I'm almost the same. I'd need something like the dm going "in this setting magic is like a law of nature like gravity. Through this he absolutely can train to cleave a mountain with a butterknife."
I guess i'm pickier than i thought comparably.
>>46020495
Not that guy, but
>>46032377
What the fuck is that sword? Its huge!
>>46033785
I am fairly certain rust won't actually do anything beneficial for you.
It'll rust all the way through your sword with iron oxide and then you'll be stuck with a shitty (Figuratively) rusty sword.
Sure there's nothing like infection to fuck up an opponent but I don't think rust will help you there.
>>46032620
So somewhat justified then if you're using a blade that isn't iron/steel?
So bronze or whatever.
At worst the sword will develop a patina but unlike steel or iron it won't rust all the way through.
Of course you'll still be using a bronze sword and I'm not sure what an oxide layer will do to the edge.
>>46036707
Depending on how heavy the sword is the magnet needs a certain strength, so lifting 1 to 4 Kilos or more.
The Magnet will need to be wrapped and protected because repeatedly letting something hit a magnet will most likely chip it or your sword.
You will be frequently using a drawing motion of your sword against the magnet. Your sword could become magnetized if this is done repeatedly (I think) which wouldn't be a great outcome.
If the magnet is strong enough to resist jostling it will be hard to outright pull the blade from the magnet, so you will probably need to awkwardly slide it off.
Anything touching a magnet is also magnetic if it can be attracted by a magnet. That means your sword and possible armor will interact.
A magnet is not specific, you could easily get stuck on things.

Rust is a huge leader to lockjaw and you can absolutely oil a sword to prevent serious rust.

Huge weapons like that are ceremonial, both Europe and Japan had the same basic tradition of forging ridiculously oversized weapons for symbolic purposes, bragging rights, and looking really cool in parades.

That one ringwraith fight in whichever of the hobbit movies made me go 'damn this feels like shadows of mordor'

I read literally everything in game game.Basically you go out of your way to kill the guys who killed your family while also finding artifacts that increase your power and your wraith's knowledge of who he is.
Start off small, work your way up. Halfway through the game, you learn how to control so know you can either take control of the Urek's (better then orks) officer's or kill them and replace them with your own. It's a neat system actually.
As for the new Ring... Well...That was an extremely open ended ending. He could mean he wants to forge a new Ring of Power or he wanted the one ring for himself so he could control the others.

Its actually called lockjaw where i live. We also call anything carbonated pop and say der for deer and insist people on the east side of the river sound funny not us and our football team is better than they and are in fact so good that the eastern state had to copy us but change their color to green.

As long as you pronounce the letter H as 'haiche', it's all good with me.

Haiche, chree, ruff, oh yaaaw

It's folk terminology, not scientific, but particularly refers to tetanus affecting the jaw.
Also, you are rude, I would not have you at my table.

Rust only increases tetanus risk because of the surface area increase providing a larger habitat for the spores to sit on.
So your sword will need to be pretty rusted in addition to having been exposed to the relevant bacterial spores in the soil for rust to have any effect on tetanus risk(Probably done by your pit in any case so if your sword isn't already a prime disease vector by that point you might as well give up).
And really once a sword rusts it just rust more and more easily because of the aforementioned surface area getting larger so it oxidizes better.
I'm not even that certain regular oiling will help that much.
Your sword also won't slide particularly smoothly in your scabbard with its irregular surface structure.

You do realize how weak your argument is, right?
Ninjato are not real. There are no real ninjas left in this world. Only people who train ninjutsu are people like the practitioners of Tenshinsho-den Katori Shinto Ryu, a real old school of martial arts that can prove with checked book keeping that what they teach is what has been taught for hundreds of years. Nowhere in koryu schools is a lick of mention about ninjato. Just because charlatans like Masaaki Hatsumi spin tales to sell stuff to impressionable ninja lovers doesn't mean that ninjato is real or ever has been real.

Lockjaw and tetanus are not (always) the same thing. Lockjaw is a symptom not the disease. For example rabies also causes lockjaw.
Real medieval weapon and armor and strategy shit is boring. Fantasy exists to make it actually interesting and cool.

Where i live lockjaw is synonymous with tetanus. We just use old words and shit cause we the last holdout of 60-70's style midwesternery.

I should clarify: shield wall like the Danish Vikings in 800-900 CE, not like Sparta or Rome.
>>46041662
To be fair it pretty much means that where I am too, if I heard someone had lockjaw I would assume tetanus, but just saying, it can be other things too.

The only problem with that sword is it's really fat. The length is okay.

You know what? It works for him, he actually looks like a scary ass motherfucker, rather than the usual "pubebeard edgelord"

>Through the day they where quite cautious about the hills around midday as there would be wicked female ghosts that would come out around that time and murder them.
Ahh, the infamous houri. One of the origins of the classical succubus. According to legend they offer sex to wandering men and then eat them, body and soul.

That commercial is why I have trust issues.
Holy shit, that commercial is why I hate the gubmint. God damn it.
