Re: OT: Just Curious?
I used to be in it because a friend was in it. The members weren't very friendly though and they seemed to have an enchanted view of the middle ages. As said they wanted to reenact it, but as one of them told me not anything that could be controversial. I mentioned the crusades (Knights vs. Saracens) and they said something along the lines of "oh, we avoid any of that sort of stuff"

And the babes in the tight laced up bodices, don't forget them.
Well, I've never been to one. And I try to do my thinking further up.

That could be that group.

Re: OT: Just Curious?
SCA eh? Sounds like my kind of fun.
Hmmm... where have I heard that before? Ah, yes, fighter!
*dogscoff hands Narf a particularly sharp pair of sword-chucks and then stands well back.

Re: OT: Just Curious?
I was asked to come to one meeting. Im all for tabletop DnD and rather against playing it live so I was rather biased.
They had me try a sword fight (cane swords) and I had a strange style that rather kicked tail. That got them all excited talking about how I could rise in ranks and even become "king" of the US or something like that. Anyway, I never went back.

Re: OT: Just Curious?
I was in it for a while in college, because my girlfriend was in it. The Crown Tourney, which determines who will be King, was held on our campus that year, and we went to the Feast afterwards.
I dropped out when my girlfriend broke up with me.

Re: OT: Just Curious?
Well for one it isn't even close to being D&D.
As for the combat...it is quite a workout...ie hot and sweaty and tiring. Also there is a slight possiblity of getting hurt. Bruises are common...broken bones...quite possible.
The feasts and large events...are parties gallore...women, and men, and lots of alcohol and food.
