SCA Culture Question
Sir Wolf:

Lord Dane:
Sometimes it is nice to know what era you want to set constraints to especially when you have a medieval spending problem. :P ** No comments Sir James ** lol

All at once? Wow, that would be a sight to see. Hmm.... Photoshop.... :)

Lord Ciaran,
I believe we're arguing the same point mate. I didn't mean anything negative by it, just a "to each their own" and why I chose my period. Realistically, I will be getting into 14c transitional at some point, the group I work with does some crazy rebated steel combat, grappling and all... so yeah, the more armour the better. I'll have to change from a Knights Templar though, right now I'm looking into "Spanish" kits for a 14th and 15th persona. Basically from Aragon or Castile fighting in the Reconquista. I just feel 100 years war gets too much attention, is it worth it? Yes. But I like to be different ;)
and yes, Lord Dane, it definitely helps to have at least some type of time period nailed down, or some other form of checklist. I've seen far too many go the "oooh! that's sweet" route and never finish a project.

Why are certain cultures more prevenlent on the SCA heavy list?
Drawing from my personal experience, it is a combination of several things.
The DIYer- Alot of people I know get a certain feeling of accomplishment by making their own harness. Lamillar is simpler to make than a black and white suit.
Kingdom culture- A dear friend of mine won the Middle Crown a while back, and everyone (it seems) went to a Norman kit, because of his persona. Also falling into this is a doubt in some people's mind on whether a blow was well struck or not, relying on sound because
of the protection rather than felling the blow
Cost- Enough said
fwiw, I 'usually' portray a Norseman circa 1000.
I am assembling a mid 14th C rig (circa Visby) for times when I want to 'dress up' ;)
