Heroic Dreams - All Things Medieval

I have owned and worked on my first domain for many years now (Stormthecastle.com) and a couple of years ago I really wanted to branch it out into something very renaissance and use stormthecastle.net as the domain name. I envisioned it being a community or network of people who enjoy medieval and renaissance things. thus the dot net of it.

The problem was that stormthecastle.net was already taken by somebody else. Anyway the project kind of got sidelined for a while until the .net domain expired and I managed to snag it! So now I own stormthecastle.net and am beginning the work of building a renaissance/medieval community.

If you like medieval and renaissance things or larping or castles or any of that other great stuff from the middle ages buzz on over to the new forum and register! It is just starting out but it is going to be a really vibrant community. Drop a post and introduce yourself then start a message about your favorite things from movies to faires.

I have already loaded a nice gallery of avatars for you to choose from so you can express your unique personality and they range from wizards to knights to lord of the rings stuff.

I am going to be looking for moderators that are passionate about their particular area of the board so if you are really passionate about some aspect of the whole genre let me know! I look forward to hearing from you.

Oh and I am running a poll to try to find the tagline for the board. My favorite right now is:  Stormthecastle.net - Camelot Reborn

The Movie 300 has invigorated the interest in the high Roman times, gladiators, Spartans and similar things. I have put together an Amazon store with offerings of this kind.

 The store has these categories:

-Gladiator weapons and armor
-Roman and gladiator Movies
-Books on Historical Rome
-Books on Ancient Sparta
-Books about the Battle of Thermopylae

 If you want to learn more about this period of time and this flavor of combat check out my store here: The gladiator and Spartan Store

I talked in an earlier post extensively about the Spartans, the story of the 300 and the book I have read about it Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae  But the movie is actually based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller with the same name “300″.
