Mooneshadowe was started by a group of gamers.  Master William Blackfox came
to OSU to attend a wargaming con in full SCA garb (he was ofcourse there to
play Kingmaker!!).  Later in spring of 79 a group attended the first
Aten-Middle war.  
The group got started officailly that summer.  Of the original people at OSU
in 79 only 4 are still active.  Lord Amra in Steppes, Master Tarl in Namron,
Lord Valadonis in the wet i think, and myself.  The other 10 or so people
have drop out over the years.
