So I'm in my late thirties and I live alone and I have a pretty decent job. This feels like the second on-ramp to owning a sword, the first being when you're 18 and get your first paycheck that you don't know what to do with. I don't think I would display it or anything, that seems a bit silly. I would probably just put it in the closet and sometimes look at it and chuckle to myself that I am the kind of person that owns a sword. Is there any sort of cool poo poo I could do with a sword at home? Hell no am I going to a sword-using class or something. Is it more likely I'm going to kill myself with the sword accidentally than do anything cool?

People would be a lot more polite if we could all carry swords. Personally I think I would carry some sort of fencing sabre or something

TURTLE SLUT posted:The bar downstairs has a lot of old crusty looking dudes, should I ask them if they have swords? i can almost guarantee some of them are swordsmen. pro move is to find an empty scabbard to wear and then just loudly and repeatedly lament about how u lost your sword, one of them may take pity on you and gift you one

Why settle for a sword when you can have a proper battle axe or a mace?

TURTLE SLUT posted:I don't have a scabbard but maybe are there some lines I could say that sound like I want to have a sword? OK here’s what you do: pay some local thugs to jump you and kick your rear end in the bar. pull out a small knife to defend yourself, but have one of the thugs laugh at your puny blade and kick it out of your hand before they pummel you. This will both a) possibly identify any swordsmen in the bar if they decide to step in and defend you and b) make them realize that you are someone who could really benefit from a gifted sword.

Sword, scabbard, chainmail tie. Don't forget a single gauntlet. The groans from your coworkers are for free.

Swords sound a bit dangerous, maybe model trains are more up your alley?

I mean it's a bit flashy. Do you really want people to KNOW they're at a disadvantage? I think it's more fun when they don't know.

If you do get one of those double edged ones they are twice as fun I hear

Only if you are willing to reenact sword-and-sandals/sorcery movies, OP. I’m thinking Spartacus, Jason & the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans, or The Beastmaster.

No OP. Buying one sword is how you begin a sword collection.

A nice two handed broadsword is a great way to share a bigmac at MacDonald's

you got a lot of water bottles you need chopped in half real quickly? to my knowledge that is the main reason for purchasing a sword, cutting like 24 kirklands through the middle without even having to remove the shrink
