Lord Dane:
Welcome to the forum.

Sir Edward:

Welcome to the forum!

I think a lot of folks here probably have felt at times that they were born in the wrong century. Heck, sometimes I narrow that down to just the wrong decade. ;)

Starting with a Templar impression is a great way to go! The 13th century in particular will always be one of my favorites, as there's just something about the simplicity of mail + helmet that appeals to me greatly. But I have to warn you, it's quite easy to get sucked into pushing your timeframe later and later, with the 14th century being one of the most fascinating confluences of armor and weapon technology advancements, and knights starting to become almost like a low-end nobility, but still being warriors too. It's a huge crossing point in European history, and it's also when we see a lot of the color and pageantry associated with it as well.

Thorsteinn:
Welcome!

Sir Nate:
Welcome!
We have plenty of crusader era enthusiasts (Including myself) that can help you with your kit Michael.
glad to have ya

Sir Rodney:
Welcome Michael!  There always seems to be a draw to armour, history and armed combat for those who’ve served in the armed forces and/or are law enforcement professionals.

 At a local SCA event not too long ago there was no less than one police sergeant, two sheriff deputies and a firearms instructor all armoured up and beating the heck out of each other with rattan swords.   :)
