It was proposed – TMP link – to add a Swords Board.

Only 18 people voted to support it, so it will not be added.

Personally I don't use the boards anyway…

What is a swords board even going to cover?

79thPA Supporting Member of TMP24 Sep 2020 11:13 a.m. PST

Well, swords of course.

Perris070724 Sep 2020 11:17 a.m. PST

Did you mean "S"words Board?

Whatever …

How about a sword and board…board 😁

So, then, discussion of swords should take place in Tools Of The Hobby? Wargaming Spouses?

I assume that if there was such a board it would be filled with edgy messages but nobody would get the point.

I am not sorry.

Ah, a pity.

I would have supported this, but didn't find out about it until it was canceled.

How about a Medieval Swords and other Weapons Board?

Swords, daggers, halberds, maces, morning stars, etc., etc.?

But where would you discuss ancient swords?

But where would you discuss ancient swords?

In Ancients discussion?
Where weapons used in ancient times usually get discussed. Why do you need a special board?
How about a whole bunch of special boards, one each for darts, javelins, spears, pikes, sarissae, kontos, xyston…
Slings, atlatl, thrown stones…
And separate boards for Gygaxian pole arms…
Yeah. How a board for the Bohemian Ear Spoon?

John, I was being facetious. I think the idea was silly, and leads to further unnecessary fragmentation of the boards. Your points (no pun intended) were brought up in the discussion phase of the poll.

I believe the entire suggestion was facetious and only made to make a counterpoint to the kerfluffle over the guns board.

Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.
