Arátoeldar Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 SCA (a history re-enactment group) What kind historical re-enactment does your group do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 What kind historical re-enactment does your group do? The SCA does re-enactments of the Middle Ages and Renaissance--pretty much anything from the fall of Rome to about 1600 AD. It's an international organization, so there are chapters all over the world (including 2 aircraft carriers, apparently. ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do some Civil War or Revolutionary War re-enactments. However in order to wear an authentic costume it must be made out of wool. No thanks come the middle of July.

The Architect Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Watching AFL, European Football and Cricket. And depending on the occasion, I’ll watch other sports. Playing pool, beach cricket, darts and golf. I also run and do weights. But they (running and weights) aren’t exactly hobbies. Talking about pretty much anything my mates and my family members bring up. AFL, Euro Football, philosophy, most sports, KotOR III (but I only talk about KotOR III with you forum folks) and la la la ladies are my favourite topics for discussion. Talking about TSL and KotOR on this forum I enjoy too. Talking about things with you folks (mostly KotOR, TSL and KotOR III) on this forum and the Obsidian forum. Watching movies, writing and constantly using my imagination (which I mostly use whenever I write). Duh. Playing games from time to time (only on the Xbox 360 these days). Although I’m not nearly half the gamer (time spent on playing games) pretty much all of youse are I assume. Talking about myself and looking at myself in the mirror. Yeah, I’m a poser, with a very inflated view of myself, but what can I say? That’s just me. And yeah, that’s about it. I’m not all that big on Star Wars to be honest. OT and TSL? Hell yeah! TSL wasn’t really “Star Warsy” anyway. The rest of Star Wars? Pfft, whatever. KotOR is good, but highly overrated. I don’t take notice/follow anything else Star Wars related. EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot. I love animals, and love talking about them. And playing haki games is a hobby of mine too. And drinking vino (red wine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I see that the SCA isn't so strick about the material of the costume. I would love to do some Civil War or Revolutionary War re-enactments. However in order to wear an authentic costume it must be made out of wool. No thanks come the middle of July. No, they're not strict at all about it. The only requirement is to make 'some attempt at pre-17th century clothing'. We've had new people come in with bathrobes over clothes, toga type things, and 2 towels pinned together at the shoulders and that's fine. If we get advanced notice that they're coming, we usually find garb that they can borrow for the day so they feel more a part of things. There are people who do some phenomenal garb recreations, but the emphasis in the group is to re-create the fun things of the time period, not to be nutsoid about authenticity. Most of us have several simple outfits and maybe one fancy outfit for Court. I usually do a pseudo-Italian Renaissance outfit in cotton or some cotton-poly tunic dresses since those are comfortable in the summer and are washable. I need something I can move freely in and don't mind getting dirty since I often serve as a first-aid provider (happily, I'm usually not very busy doing that! ). However, I have a decked-out silk-lined velvet Tudor dress complete with French hood and full of beads and pearls that I wear for very special occasions. I've been in the group for over 20 years, however, so I've built up the clothing over time. I can't do wool well, either--I'm allergic to it. I have a wool cloak because it stays warm when wet, but it's lined in cotton so that the wool doesn't come in contact with my skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Learning how to say 'I have laser eyes *pew*pew*' in other languages. I know it in French (J'ai les yeux lasers *pew*pew*), Japanese (Reza no me ga arimasu *pyu*pyu*), Spanish (Yo tengo los ojos lasers *pew*pew*) and, of course, English. I'm working on German now. I'm also working on a movie project with 17 other kids at my school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point Man Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I spend as much time with my kids as I can. Other than that and work, I don't get much time for anything else. I do like writing medieval poetry, camping, woodworking, and my latest new activity, reroofing my garage in January (in Wisconsin!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Devon Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I love to debate in my spare time, especially when it's formal debate. The topics my local team gets are excellent, too. (Usually things like the use of deadly force or current events) I also like discussing political/philosophical junk with people, and definitely reading. The three mesh well. I also draw, though it does absolutely nothing productive and I don't often show off what I make. More hobby-like than the other three in some regards.

Commander Obi-Wan Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Generally, I play sports, game on my Wii and PC, go to the gym and work out, and go to the cinema. I used to paint miniatures, but lost interest and I've been fairly busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jae Onasi Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Jae - I was a member of the Bard Guild in the SCA (back many years) In Drachenwald? Or another kingdom? Northshield has a great bardic tradition, but it's not as formalized as in some other kingdoms. I've done pretty much everything one can do in the administrative chain of the Chirurgeonate, and I'd like to learn how to do rapier combat better. I've sung in the Known World Choir at Pennsic, and I'd like to do a little more of that now that I don't have as many Chirurgeon responsibilities. I also like period cooking and dancing quite a bit, too. Lots of fun. @Shem--oversharing!! 2 drink penalty!! Ramana--welcome to the forums!
