I was 16, walking through a public park looking for a place to sneak a
cigarette. Enjoying the peace and quiet. Nobody was arround. So I
sat down, relaxed against a tree, and shut my eyes whilst chuckling to
myself about how I was rebelling against my parents and the government
by smoking.
And then there were shouts, and thwacking sounds, and clattering,
and it grew louder. I got up to investigate, and I see a bunch of
people wearing plastic armor and wielding foam weapons having a great
time. They were daggerheard players. I started hanging out with
them, and after the melee was over everybody ended up over this crazy
looking old mans house, and he had real armor! So I started asking
questions, and learned about pennsic.
So I abandoned daggerheard in favor of the sca.
And so began the past 7 years of randomly showing up to gatherings
every week for months at a time, and then falling off the face of the
earth for 6 months to a year at a time. I've finally got a job that's
able to support (sort of) buying armor and trvelling to events. And
there was much rejoicing.
