Yeah well I wish more people were into Elizabethan piracy,,, the Renn faire community could use a healthy dose of PC maritime representation. Currently it's hardly measurable. _Liam McMac Celtic and Pirate Tailor Beware the Iron Brigade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Yeah well I wish more people were into Elizabethan piracy,,, the Renn faire community could use a healthy dose of PC maritime representation. Currently it's hardly measurable. When I was in the States a couple of years back I went to an SCA function in my PC Elizabethan sailor kit. The most common question I got was: "what are you?"
