The Brawny Nerd
by Makov Kings
Hello, I’m Nathaniel, and I’m here to help you out with various things. I’ll mostly focus on historical European martial arts and Dungeons and Dragons, but I’ll touch on other things. I’ve got a lot of content to go through and a rather mediocre life expectancy, so I’ll be doing two, if not three, episodes a week, either here or live on YouTube. Don’t just read about what I’m doing, observe it for yourself.

Episode 2: Introduction to Historical Arms and Training With Them
Hey, I’m back a little earlier than I thought I’d be, but I want to show you guys the wonderful world of historical weapons and armor. Since I was little, I’ve felt as though I’d rather lose my left arm than give up sword fighting. The YouTuber that showed me my path was Matt Easton ( link below…

Episode One: I Hate RPG Combat
Well, this is my first episode, and sharks are born swimming. I’m harassing the combat of nearly every RPG in existence because of silly nonsense about weapons, armor, and tactics.
