Editing Society for Creative Anachronism

The '''Society for Creative Anachronism''' is where white women go to [[LARP]]. It was founded in California in 1966, as you probably guessed. You probably didn't know that Poul Anderson was the founder, given how [[awesome]] his work is outside this.

Per sca.org, it holds itself as "pursuing research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century [Common-Era] skills, arts, combat and culture" focusing on Western Europe. "The SCA’s “Known World” is divided into twenty regions called kingdoms, and within the kingdoms there are hundreds of local SCA groups – Cantons, Shires, and Baronies." If all this sounds like the Renaissance Faire to you, then - yeah, the SCA are what do that.

Meet beautiful queens and gallant knights! - said nobody at a RenFaire. Meet tatted-up heavyset divorcees and effete wispy-bearded dorks. And overpriced turkey legs.

Two results of SCA seeping into [[Dungeons & Dragons]] are Jean Wells' ''[[B3: Palace of the Silver Princess]]'' and Jean Rabe's ''[[WG10: Child's Play]]'', both awful and in need of major revision. [[Tom Moldvay]] was competent enough to fix B3 - which he did by rewriting it all. [[Skip Williams]] could do nothing with WG10.
