You are correct, the SCA cuts at 16oo. My persona is of an Elizabethan sea dog/reiver of 1588. We play multiple time periods in different societies.

Just curious. I haven't been keeping up to date on every section of the SCA, but I've heard that some kingdoms and local groups have extended past this? I've heard of a few going up to 1650-1675. Although that could just be local and not kingdom wide. Or I could've had too much rum that night :rolleyes:

Aye mates,

Ifn ye get the chance, you'll have to check out the Whiskey Bards. I understand they'll be doing some sets at Pennsic. Lovely bunch of lads with some great original pirate tunes. Most of you with the SCA might know Yonatan. I believe they're camped with Antevedlt.

They are not to be missed. Mark my words.

p.s. to Delmar from Outlands: Have you gotten the jerky out of yer hair yet?

Mad Eye- it's more a social thing than actual law. Back in the before times, there was something published called "Queen Carol's Guide". It was basically a guide to the Society and it was, for a long time, the standard for what we do. In that guide it said that the Society extends to 1650, even though the incorporation documents clearly state pre-17th Century. Years ago, the BoD took a poll and advice from the populace, and at that time confirmed 1600 as the cut off date. Some kingdoms and groups turn a blind eye to the 1600 date, particularly to include the Cavaliers of the 1640's. It is not 'approved' by the Society, but depending on where you are in the Knowne World, it will gain varying levels of acceptance.

Anyone heading out to B09 has to pass B08. Look for the shrine to St. Barbara and the guns, and stop in.

Thanks for the clarification there Hawkyns. I had a feeling it was just a social and not official standing, but definitely good to know the truth behind it all.

I'll make sure to stop on by since you're just across Dragon Sea Jr from us. Feel free to come on over as well if'n ya so desire for a round of grog or whatever else ya fancy! B)

Hawkyns will ya fire :lol: the guns to the east one day so I know your Thinking about me Then maybe raise a bucket of gunners punch :huh: in hopes that next year good fortune will let us be there next year.

Ok need to figure out how to fit Francios and crew in various trunks and kidnap them to Pennsic...

I was hoping to work the guns this year with you and share a bit of rum...

We will miss you in camp.

I was looking forward to spending time with you all...

From the desk of Hawkyns:

Aye Dorian,

her name is Nightengale from her first combat firings. They were done at Fort Miflin in a night battle. And if you have ever been to Miflin, you know that those night battles are conducted one hundred and fifty feet under the main landing pattern of Philadelphia international airport. So there is hope that Nightengales first firing caused some US Air pilot to foul his britches.

Hawkyns...

Come by the camp when you get settled to discuss the firing schedule.

:(:D

4 days from now I should be on the road, headin' west. Arrive just after midnight, get some zzzzzs and wait for dawn.

I may be at work now, but my mind is at the corner of Agincourt and Tours.

Due to a last minute decision, I WILL be going to Pennsic. I'm camping with my favorite pirate, Admiral James Antillis Rhedd, with the Brotherhood of the Sacred Light (E01). Hopefully we won't go up in smoke with the priestly sort about!

Stop by and say arrrrr!
