In my earlier 20's I was seamstress to a Amptgard group. Kinda like http://www.sca.org/ But far more less mature, far less together.Best left alone altogether if you want my opinion.(The SCA rocks in comparison.Check to see if you have a local chapter.) In high school I was seamstress to a Calar group. Calar's a step below Amptgard. My horrid ex who use to be emotionally and physically abusive got me into it, Then let it become far more important than his real life and job.
Now I've grown up attending many of the Scottish Highland games' events since the age of 2. I'm a proud member of clans Mckay and Gunn and also claim and wear Macduff clan tartans through my beloved husband. I did the turning of the sash at my wedding,having my husband adopt me into his clan by removing my mckay sash and replace it with a macduff sash. I love celebrating my heiritage. Men in kilts, more specifically, My husband in his kilt, whats not to love? I wear a ankle hostess kilt and black bodice embroierded with red rampant lions and white chemise to these events. I order all my tartan wear direct from Locharron's tartan weavers Selkirk, Scotland.
These gatherings are a celebration of scottish clan and spirit...Not dungeons and Dragons played live on a feild somwhere. I haven't played D&D since my freshman year of highschool. (Now please don't think I'm bashing role players, I loved roleplaying and still think its great.)

Seems to me more than a little silly. And to top it off, They made a MOVIE!
You can watch it at snag films - http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/darkon/

ReplyDeleteI have no experience whatsoever in the whole role play scene. But I DID recently see a hilarious show called The Guild. All about these WoW freaks.

I played war craft and war craft 2 back in 97 and 98 when I was in high school. The people that play the new online version.... well. Its a lil frightening.
