While I've never visited an SCA event, (local Renfaire doesn't count...) I'm quite interested in much of what I've found online. Everything from Calligraphy to modern castlebuilding.<br><br>My mundane name is Allan, haven't quite figured out a persona for period use, though. Working on some research for a reasonable attempt at garb so I don't feel too self-concious when I *do* manage to visit an event.<br><br>I've already been interested in Calligraphy, bookmaking, blacksmithing, armoring, and
other period craftsperson persuits. Even before coming upon the SCA, I had often considered ways of making modern conveniences work with ancient equipment (whether they actually did or not is another story). Hot water showers and running water, hydro-powered smithy bellows (paper mill, grain mill, clothes washing, etc.) and perhaps even landscape watering. <br><br>Well, I can't really think of anything further to ramble on about (besides how cool it would be to build a real castle...o.O) so I'll cease.<br><br>If anyone has some pointers for a newcomer, or just some interesting information, let me know.
