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

• We are back from Pennsic! The East swept the rapier warpoints, partially because of excellent planning on the part of Don Ogedai, and partially because Eastern fencers soldiered like never before. I was immensly proud of the entire army, and particularly Tadcaster, for doing what was needed to execute in the face of a strong opponent.
• War photos will be forthcoming as they trickle in.
• Vivat to Melchior, the newest holder of the Honor of Tadcaster!
• We now have an EK Wiki entry! Of course, linking to something that for the most part links back here is somewhat self-referentially circular... possibly causing the internets to eat themselves.
• New quotes! Actually, there are always new quotes. It's like a thing with us... or maybe a disease.
• A few new LOLTadz! Got pictures that made you ROFL? If you'd like them to be considered for LOLTadz, send 'em to Ian.
• Even now, there remains a chance that we're still SO gonna get banned. Ask us why... we might even tell you.
