[Artemisia] Making Fighting More Fun

[Dame Theodora]

Getting people that want to try into armor, and having experienced fighters taking the time to actually show the new fighter some things, seem to be the key.

It doesn't seem to be a lot of fun when an interested person has to watch from the sidelines because they don't have gear, or when they actually do have gear but don't know what to do, so they get discouraged.

Loch Salann currently has two full sets of loaner armor, and that has been a boon already.  People can actually try fighting instead of just watching from the sidelines.  The experienced fighters take time to show the newer fighters some things, so they can feel a little more confident.  Even if a group doesn't hve loaner armor, groups can often assemble a loaner suit from pieces that fighters have that they aren't using at the time.  

I think the mentality of camaraderie and fun seems to keep people in armor.  If nobody takes the time to work with a new fighter, they often seem to get discouraged and go away.
