The wife and I have been a few times to the annual one they have in Tampa.

I frequent Celtic festivals in the area as well.

I want to go to the Tampa one, but have yet to go. For one reason or another I just never seem to make it.

We do not have anything like that around my area . The closest we come is the local Dungeons & Dragons club that battle in the park like in the movie "Role Modles" . I know , I know not the same thing .

They are a lot of fun. You don't have to dress up to go, but many people do. There are jousts, human chess games, plays, food, beer, um did I mention food?

And usually a ton of vendors selling everything from clothing to jewelry, to swords and armor. You name it, they probably sell it at those things.

Um....That's because it's a given, and what's understood need not be discussed.:D

Really, I thought that died in the 80's. I'd pay to see that. I'll bet it's funny. Used to play the game when I was a kid, but never wanted to dress up and do it.

There is also LARPs, Live Active Role Plays, they are well organized, use foam weapons and do take themselves seriously. It is a physical representation, an allegory of actual combat.

Back when I still drank alcohol , we would buy some beer and go down to the park and watch them battle . It was funny watching them argue with each other , one telling another he was dead , and the other saying he had a 10th level magic shield around him and there is no way his short sword with a +2 what ever on it could kill him .

For twenty years I have been involved with a group known as the Society for Creative Anachronism. The SCA is the worlds oldest and largest historical recreation organization. It is not LARP. lol

YouTube - SCA tv spot

It looks like they went and find all of the crappiest armor they could for this spot! lol Many of us work very hard to have historically acurate armor!

Winter - I had a friend in that. He ended up stopping due to some "politics" he says. I thought about joining up but I have no time. I do hear they have some good mead at the events though.

Or, like my Rabbi says, put two Jews in the same room and you'll have three opinions! lol
