c0dyb asked:nerdy women my age any advice on where to look? reddit is the obvious answer but i am far from smooth when it comes to ice breakers or pickup lines, i have tried apps but im not really looking for a hookup, about me: 31 in december, extreme nerd, army vet i don't "go out" or really have much desire to, my favorite thing to do atm is bing r/litrpg series on audible, any advice on where to go or look would be appreciated
Bookaddictanon replied:Society for Creative Anachronism. I'm serious, a lot of people who share the same interests you do but who meet up in "real life". There's also LARPing, although I know more SCA women than LARPers. SCA can be a fully engrossing lifestyle or just something you do to socialize here and there. Different regions can be more intense than others from what I understand, but in my area there is very little role playing of persona and mostly just your "real world" people who like to learn new (medieval) skills, hang out, fight or watch the fighting, cook, sew, dress up at events, etc. Www.sca.org

Rachel H. asked:Anyone know anyone that does any iron work or leather work? I'm interested in getting armor made for my horse.Juliana R. replied:Look into The Society for Creative anachronism. SCA.org. there should be a local group close by. The SCA is a medieval Renaissance reenactment group that is a worldwide nonprofit. also another thing to look at is a local Renaissance Faire that has jousting. talk to the jousters and see where they get their armor from.

Martha M. asked:Im looking for a surname...id like my persona to be born in the 800's in scotland of a mixed viking/scottish family. Im hoping to use Astriðr for my first name but have NO idea where to look for surnames of that time. Any suggestion of where to look would be greatly appreciated.Wanda S. replied:Please don't rely on Wikipedia for historical information! Your better choice would be to go to SCA.org and check the Laural's articles on names of different cultures and languages.

Patrick W. asked:Hi i'm looking for frat in Salisbury, MD. I had a friend who said he met a "knight" at a local comic book shop. He mentioned that he practiced at a local school in salisbury and showed my friend his gear. I was trying to figure out which days they practice so I could check it out. My friend lost the number to the man he met so I was hoping for a wee bit of help. I know he was a scadian because my friend was shown the rubber arrow tips the sca uses. Thanks!Joshua M. replied:You might want to start by checking what the local group is - there's a group locating link at www.sca.org
