I'm in favor, because frankly, speaking as a human player...I barely exist. Humans largely do not get racial plot, aside from the tendency in some places to be "the race that hates the other races" (IE sadeen moor, The humans of Kupspar, etc) (Which annoys the **** out of me, as I don't think...

True, but it's a really good site if you want to wear something from a particular period in time. :)

If you're looking for something a little more specific in period, http://reconstructinghistory.com/ has patterns for everything from the Dark ages, to turn of the century. Even if you're not, they're good patterns from what I hear. They recently added some period Japanese stuff, so some of you...

Oh, don't get me wrong, lad, I'm glad to scrap when the time comes, or simply for the fun of it. In fact, if you'd like, we can take a few practice swings at each other when we meet. And as I said, it will show you the measure of a man. Sadly, for things like stewardship, It's not measuring...

Sanjuro, While a fight is always near to my heart, I'd personally advice against it. Bravery and valor in battle can prove many things about the measure of a man, but the skills and talents of a Steward are a separate matter indeed. I personally would not want to prevent the elevation of...

Please forgive the intrusion, I believe the correct term is Steward, a title frequently used instead of Senechal. My given understanding based on this title, is that this is someone who would run the day to day business of a holding in lieu of the Lord of that area. Typically as that lord...

Is this the Joint Caldaria/deadlands event? I haven't heard anything about that yet, and I know my team would want to go.

Hey, you're looking for my GF Brynn. This is Jeff, who was playing Lupo. I'll Pass your info on, but it may be a bit before she can get back to you. She's a bit busy with Exams.

Hi Dave, Family and Real Life comes first. This is just a game. It was fun playing with you, and I look forward to seeing you again, once your Dad's recovered! Jeff/Lupo

Don't need no favor from no human king. I travel where I like. Goblins tasty enough when you're hungry. I got some huntin' in me. So you'll see me, If you look in the right places. Lupo

God, that's a dogs breakfast of boring stereotypical BS. As a suggestion of a direction to go in, it's not bad. As an On high mandate that you must wear furs and talk like Og the caveman..... You know what... I'm done. This topic isn't worth my time anymore.

Well, yes, but in this particular case,the rules for language _are_ handed down on high, and are defined very nebulously. Hence this discussion. :) Gotta say though, a significant portion of the barbars I've met in game "aren't playing" their Fur wearing race in 80+ degree weather, and for good...

Pheeeewww. Still outnumbered. Looking grim folks. Everybody left better prereg fast. :)

I agree. "speaking poorly" to me at least, does not include a regional dialect. A regional dialect can lend flavor, make someone "more folksey, more uptight, better educated," etc, but only based on the Region and social status _of the listener_. This is a far too broad distinction IMHO. "Me Am...

I'm going to disagree intensely with all 3 of your points. Forgive me, I'm not trying to pick on you, just clear up a misconception. 1, No, they didn't. Let me reiterate "The Norsemen and the Anglo Saxons spoke the same language, and had no problems speaking to each other." When some of them...

A couple of notes, 1, I'm not really "taking this seriously" in an "alliance is Srs Bzns" way. Though i will admit, my previous posts may have had a bit of "Stuffy history book nerd" flavor to it. The Norse have been pretty seriously demonized over the centuries, and I like to clear some of...

Fairly well, actually, seeing as how Saxon English was not sufficiently differentiated from German to make much of a difference in Dark Ages Europe. Basically they all spoke minor variations of the unabridged version of Beowulf. When the Vikings landed their longships in Britain, they had no...

Here's an out of country group of folks that supply an SCA list I'm on. It's actual in period footwear, so it might not appeal to everyone. http://www.facebook.com/pages/WestlandC ... 2351281494

Yeah, no. I think you have a (fairly common) misconception as to how the Norse dressed and acted. They mostly wore Wool, and were fully conversant in their native language. Wordplay and clever speaking was highly praised among them. Kennings, songs and poetry were richly rewarded at times...

Speaking as a human, We don't need racials. Any of you fancy bastards with them we will either outlive, or out populate. Enjoy your special powers while we rule the rest of the world. :)
