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 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.

What's New?

  • New LOLTadz on teh way, we swearz. Srsly!
  • New quotes!
  • Plans are still underway for some sort of super-secret alliance between Tadcaster and the Kingdom of Meridies. There are vague details, there are spurious details, and there are correct details, but we're not telling which is which.
  • Even now, there remains a chance that we're still SO gonna get banned. No really, I think the Prince is gonna kill us, then ban our remains.

For further information, contact Ian Raven, the . Be warned, though: he's a bit mad.
