The SCA in General

     The Society of Creative Anachronism (SCA) can be thought of as Medieval Reneacting. We assume that all are among the nobility of European lands (some also include Islamic and Oriental territories) from periods somewhere between 600 AD to 1600 AD. We learn the arts and skills of the times by trying and doing. We have events where we try to act, dress and eat as could have been in the Middle Ages and Renaissance Ages. Consider playing with us...
