[Bryn-gwlad] ACF Demos and Things

[Ysabeau]

I'm trying to remember way back...and I've had a kid since then and you know
what that does to your memory.

I seem to remember that when ACF was starting up that we were doing a
renaissance themed fair to benefit the Wilderness Basin at Waterloo. It was
decided back then that it was too much to try to do both fairs and Ffynnon
Gath stepped up to take over the ACF. I could be completely wrong because
this was back in like...93? The Wilderness Basin fair faded but ACF took
off.

Just what I think I remember,
Ysabeau

If you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of the
game, the stakes, and the quitting time.
