Camp Finances & Modern Tools
Something that I have picked up on in the past few years is that no one really talks about camp finances and organization. I don’t mean the chores and infrastructure but rather the back end of things, the things that happen before and after Pennsic or other large wars occur. A couple of years ago … Continue reading
Goodie Boxes for Scadians
Not long after COVID closure happened all over the country, we began to realize the impact it was going to have. On ourselves, our friends, and our chosen family. Among those were the merchants that fill our streets at war and events near and far. Without events to go to they had to rely solely … Continue reading
Playing the Game Alone
We are in unprecedented times, that much is obvious. For many of us who play our game, social interaction is a must. Now, with social distancing and mandatory quarantine laws we are moving to the internet to maintain our game. Online A&S challenges, wear garb to work, online meetings, and bardic gatherings are just a … Continue reading
Travel in the Time of Perronnelle – Pt. 2
In a previous post I addressed the question posed by Baron and Master Ulric von Der Insel a couple of weeks ago. His question: “Where did your — persona — always want to go? To see what?” This got my brain weasels going and the post was so long that I was forced to stop … Continue reading

In an effort to be more regular in my posting I’m going to try to corral some other SCAdian bloggers into doing something “old-school” with … Continue reading

This is one of many so stay tuned! What follows is the video and the transcription (with related links) for those that … Continue reading
A New Motivation
So I’ve been fairly quiet on here for a long time. Partially due to real life: figuring out if we were moving or not, a new job, and all kinds of things like that. It was also partially because of feeling like I had hit a bit of a rut in my modern medieval life. … Continue reading
Bobbins, Needles, and Yarn
Whipcord Bobbins They’re amazing! I made my own this past June (see this post on how-to) with some basic supplies ordered from Amazon.com or purchased at your local craft store. So far I’ve only done things in size 10 crochet cotton but it’s been a really good learning material. So far I’ve made a ton of medallion … Continue reading
