From the rolling hills of Skyrim to the dungeons that house so many dragons, sword fighting is a core part of many of our favourite games, but do games reflect the histories and realities of swordplay, and how? Join our panel of sword fighting experts as we thrust deep into the relationship between sword fighting in games and as real world skill. Panellists include a historian, a game designer, the World Broadsword Champion, Captain of the National Women’s Armoured Combat Team, a globally top ranked rapier fencer, and a superb Dungeon Master, all of whom have real world sword fighting experience as practitioners of historical fencing, LARP, or HMB armoured combat. Join us for a cutting edge discussion on game combat.
