Now that I've had a chance to sit down and hash some things out, I surely hope the new face of the Quill is as appealing as it was before if not even moreso. Times have changed and while a good deal of most posting happens on the Facebook pages, That aside, I rather enjoy having a place where they can all go together without too much hassle of being drowned out in the various posts that happen on the Baronial or Canton pages. Be honest, sometimes it's hard trying to find that thing that someone sent you. That's what this is for. To find that thing that they sent to you, and a rather nice collection of things it is.
That being said, I'm going to take your time a bit longer and give a question to ask yourself: Why'd you join up with the SCA? It's one of the questions for the Persona of the Month column and sometimes a very common question to be asked by Newcomers or new friends. I myself ask it every now and then, which usually ends up with some fascinating stories proving that there's never a dull moment in what we do.
There's an upcoming event towards the end of August that's going to be riddled with Newcomers and I expect to have a good number of questions asked and answered. What we do seems new and strange to the mundanes and it's up to us to show that the SCA isn't just some silly game of dress-up and fighting. There's plenty to do, from heraldry and fiber arts to wood-burning and metal casting. There is literally something for everyone in what we do. And the worst thing you could do is not try it. So if you plan on going to Flight of the Falcon, I hope to see you there. And think about those stories that always start out with "Seriously, there I was..." Because it was stories like that that brought me into the SCA
