I've been contacted about us participating in a World Jousting Tourney. I will get more details as I can, but I figured I'd ask here and see if anyone among us is an avid jouster. I CAN joust but I kind of suck at it. Anyone interested should contact me.  |

I wouldn't call myself an avid jouster, but I can joust. Happy to help any way I can.

Also on the subject of jousting/horses, i can instruct you so that your horse learns to not buck you off when you cast targetted spells, if anyone wants that.

Also is there someplace in or near Shard to joust? Could be fun for us to have a zany "The CV sucks at jousting and so is going to go learn how" night.

We used to have jousts outside the gate to Sunbeam circle.
They would bring in the weapon racks for it, so I guess there was probably a GM or mentors involved. Not sure who set them up.
I can also train horses to perform better at jousting or to allow you to cast spells while riding them, if anyone needs it.

I would love to get into jousting and also my horse, Stuey could use some instruction as well. I think a "CV Jousting 101" event would be nice -- I know I'd be there!

I can't decide if, as a Gnome, I would be at an advantage for being such a small target, or a disadvantage for riding a pony and potentially not being able to lift the lance.
That being said, the mental image of me charging towards an opponent on ponyback while dragging a lance behind and shrieking in terror might just be entertaining enough to make me want to join in.

Smaller targets are harder to hit.  |

I've always wanted to joust since they first released it. I've finally got myself a horse and after watching the jousts in Riverheaven I really would like to get involved.

If anyone needs to learn the joust or fighting on horseback skills, feel free to send me a thought message IG or IM me OOC (theonlywarbie). Here's the info from epedia: elanthipedia.org/w/index.php/Horse |

(stolen from the DR Facebook. I think gnome fits better than halfling here.) |

There's a reason why halflings should not be jousters* >:3
