The Tadcaster Militia is a group of men and women drawn together by a love of rapier combat and other ridiculous things. This website sheds light on the hows and whys of the group.

We meet Wednesday nights from 7:30 pm to 10:30 pm in the Mayfair section of Philadelphia, PA. The Militia boasts over two dozen members taking part in various activities as a unit. Interested in learning more about the group? This page describes our reasons for being, structure, and the like. This one can tell you where the actual Tadcaster is. Over here you'll find our collective travel and event stories, and here are our quotable utterances... so you can get an idea of what we're talking about. Or not.

For further information about the practice, contact Melchior Kreibel, the Baronial Rapier Marshal.

• After more than twelve years, I have stepped down as Baronial Rapier Marshal and handed over the reigns of the practice to Lord Melchior. I'm still working on the concept of "more relaxed role of elder statesman" and marshal at large.
• Katya has chosen her successor as bearer of the Honor of Tadcaster: vivat to Lord Davius, the newest holder of the Honor of Tadcaster!
• New quotes and Wordles!Actually, there are always new quotes. It's like a thing with us... or maybe a disease. Don't forget 2011's Pennsic quotes, either.
• We're looking for a few good LOLTadz! Got pictures that made you ROFL? If you'd like them to be considered for LOLTadz, send 'em to Ian. Bonus points if you have pictures of delbroc chewing on something.
• As the Wheel in the Sky keeps on turning, so have we seemingly hit upon a new way to guarantee our SO getting banned... and this time, we have scripts! Ask us why, we might even tell you.
