I feel these Sovereign/Consort spreadsheets could be better organized. I've made an attempt at this as an example. I used Avacal, because that's where I live, and also because there isn't a mountain of data, the kingdom being so young.
First, the rows are in the order of reign, which I think is the way that most people would want it organized.
Second, the Total Reigns is a single column each for the sovereign and consort. I feel this is visually better than having additional columns for each individual reign, which is cluttered, and not scalable. You can simply use a formula for the total, instead of hand editting it. This will become really useful as time goes on and the rows are added.
You can also resort the data if you wish. Something I feel isn't really possible the way the current sheets are designed. This becomes more useful if someone were to add a date range of reign column.
Anyway, I put this out there as a suggestion. I have no desire to do the work myself.
I used the data from the Avacal Royal Lineage webpage, so hopefully I spelled everyone's names correctly.
Is there anything in Texas like Ancient Lore Village in Knoxville, Tennessee?
I'm trying to plan an event, but all I find is disappointing and bizarrely expensive ren faires. Nothing against ren faires, but their venues leave a lot to be desired.
I don't even need somewhere you can stay, just a venue that costs less than $4k with a medieval aesthetic and an INDOORS. The event will be in October, so it'll either feel like summer or winter.
Help, please?
Hello!
I’m looking for some references to try and theme a feast around incoming Royals. Their persona’s are 9th Century Irish/Norse, unsure if we have any culinary resources for that century/culture that I can readily access or anyone has any heads up.
Any resources available would be awesome, thank you!!
Sorry, not trying to stir up drama, but I've been thinking about this. People who are still in the SCA get told not to air dirty laundry, take conversations private, don't embarrass the organization. Once people are R&D'd, they're R&D'd forever. There is no undoing that. What stops them from telling whatever story they want about what happened? Is there any incentive not to talk?
Kalbardr, for instance, had his own fairly popular YouTube channel. He got R&D'd and that was the last episode of Kalbardr's Corner. Why not just join alternative organizations, keep the same name, and continue to have a web presence? Maybe he's not a good case study. Maybe it was, "Stop your YouTube stuff or you will face legal action about what you did!" I don't know. Doesn't seem like a good theory.
So people are constantly saying to be quiet when in the SCA, they cover things up and shame anyone who speaks up, so if somebody wants to tell the truth about the SCA they're better off quitting. Unless for some reason after quitting there's some incentive not to talk that I'm not seeing. It's just a game. People have freedom of speech, in the States. I don't think European, Canadian, etc laws about libel and slander apply to preserving the "good reputation" of a historical reenactment group like the SCA.
Hello, I'm looking to find a leather pattern for a archery hip quiver and I would like to know what is your favorite pattern that is free or for sale?
I'm right handed and will be shooting a recurve bow. I would like the quiver to be able to attach to my belt so I can remove it without taking my belt off.
I obtained a well made zischagge helmet made by Illusion Armory and have never strapped a helmet of this type before. Any recommendations? Please have illustrations as I can keep a better view of my progress to ensure I get it right. I will be fighting SCA heavy, and this helmet is very different from my munitions grade bassinet with a conical top. Thanks!
