Reflection on open discussion – Valiance Proposal
We had a good discussion on the peerage today. The biggest takeaway is we need more visibility. Something that we have been discussing already.
But something else occurred to me, as we had the discussion, we might want to consider not trying to push for a peerage for not just one specific weapon, but for being a master in one or more weapons. As a knight would be expected to be proficient in sword, polearm, spear etc. (aside from other qualifiers as deemed requisite)
Siege for instance only gets to field at the handful of events per year, or equestrian for example. Make sense? Thoughts?
How Dry I Am – Dry Sites in the SCA
I recently realized Im going to a dry event. It isnt the first time this has happened, and it wont be the last. The site being dry wont keep me away.
I have to ask though, what’s the deal with dry sites? In a world where we are adults, and drinking is legal, whats the point?
I have been to larger events where some parties can get out of hand, but even then a few and far between. Smaller events this is a rarity at best.
Is this a decision made by autocrats that don’t imbibe? Are they the only facilities within 100 miles?
Im not saying event’s cant be fun without alcohol, but I will say in my experience, more people participate in bardics with it.
Loading ...Spring Fling II – Darken the sky with missiles!
Friends, Spring Fling is coming very soon! this an event dedicated to Combat Missile weapons!
I am very excited to share this combat archery, and siege event! Come join the missile flinging fun!
Friday night, for those on site, we will be hosting a ‘laid back’ bardic featuring stories, tall or true, about yours, or others exploits with missile weapons!
The morning will bring classes, inspections and authorizations. So make sure you brush up on the rules, you have loads of time!
There will also be a Missile Weapon Tourney! We will be hosting at least the ‘Speed Round’ variant with multiple weapon types.
From around noon ’til 4 at least. It will be a mix of War Practice with some strategy and exercises as well as scenarios like capture the flag, woods battle and open field teams.
After field exercises we will host a short Q&A session about the Valiance Proposal. Look for the Valiance banner.
Now this is primarily Combat Missile event, but we do ask that at least few of our rattan friends show up. We can use your help in authorizing, inspections and participation in exercises! Treat this event as a ‘War Practice’ to focus on teamwork as well as coordinate with our rattan friends so we work more efficiently with our army!
(Please note the official War Practice is coming up as well and combat archers are welcome!)
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the activities!
