"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Thorsteinn or LrdMurchadh are probably the ones to ask for SCA stuff. I know you can get in on "youth combat" before you are 18 with parental consent. Beyond that... I don't know.

Yep! I'm here!

(If you listen closely I think you can hear my rotator cuff beginning to tear. I was Ivan for 20 years, and I'm in the Lamellar).



How did you do in the whole tourney?

5th round IIRC. 2-3 short of semifinals.
Fall down seven, get up eight.

😍 just look at it

There's even more you can't see, under the trees. Pennsic is enormous. Something like 10,000-14,000 people on site on any given day.

I really need to go again. It's been about 5 years since I last went.

Well $10 an hour for 5 days a week in four weeks I'll have the cash. Plus they are already cool with it. Plus my father wanted to do it when he was younger.
