SCA Event, Crown Lyst.

[Velvet-Tongue]

Not sure if many people in here are a part of the SCA, but I find it relvent since it promotes alotta cool things.

I mean, just this weekend I learned the rudiments of brewing cheap beer(and got to taste some absinthe ), how to tie a square knot,the differences between metal and boiled leather armor, comissioned someone to sew me a cloak, fought in battles, watches a turnament were the winner became the future King/Queen and watched a man become Knighted by the King and Queen of Trimaris. I love the sca


Here are pics from the weekend

pssh.. why does anybody wanna go play with foam bats and pretend to be in different era?

*goes back to playing FFXII*

hehe im just kidding with ya. it looks like you had a blast I used to go to the San Fran and Wisconsin Renn Faires every year

[Velvet-Tongue]

Don't call em foam bats around any sca'ers thems ground for a mutiny lol.

They're made from solid wood, and hurt alot (hence all the armor) I love it

[Mr Karl]

i was in the sca for a bit, fun party, but not quite the level of re-enactment I was hoping for

[Velvet-Tongue]

I was kinda sad they had no grappling myself, but its the only org i've seen that can field 10 thousand people for those epic pennsic battles.

[Mr Karl]

yeah, they are the largest private army in the world

and those pennsic events...you need like at least a week to recover

[Bondage Clown]

I will be going ot events hopefully next summer.. But I won't be able to make to pennsic unitl the youngest is about 12... it takes money to have that much fun.,..

[Velvet-Tongue]

I can deff. see taking a week to recover from Pennsic. I only fought that one day at the Lyst and ended up sleeping a good 12 hours that night lol.

[Razored Pixie]
