    I just found the Society for Creative Anachronism and I am really exited about probably joining! For those who haven't heard of it, it is a worldwide medieval roleplaying organization. You can go to workshops, tournaments, fairs, feasts, and other events that are held a few times a month. There are kingdoms and baronies based on where you live, and they function quite a bit like actual kingdoms. You are required to come in costume and you can learn medieval crafts, and jousting, and things like that.

    Is there anyone on here who is a member? What do you think of it? Also, if someone could tell me how often you have to renew memberships, that would be awesome because I can't figure it out.

    My plan is to go to a ren faire dressed all steampunk. "Do not fear! I am a time traveler from the strange world of Victorian England!". Basically, don't invite me.

    This does sound really neat, and I might check it out.

    Wow, it seems exciting, but I've never heard of it before... I'm going to look it up, definitely. :grin:

    I've heard of it. The group is pretty awesome. I've never been involved, but would totally do it in an instant. The only problem is that it is very in-depth and can require some startup expense as far as armor goes.

    That's why I prefer foam-weapon groups like Dagorhir. It's a more relaxed atmosphere without strict rules of noble hierarchy and doesn't require armor. But that can be both a good and bad thing.
