My son has been wanting to get involved with SCA ever since a friend from Missouri told him about it. This friend and his family are so deep into it, that they don't participate in real life much. They live and breathe their characters (or whatever) while at home. In fact, the father had their family name legally changed as well as his and his wife's (now ex-wife) names changed. Just having a conversation with the father left me not trusting anything he had to say. Therefore, I never let son get involved.
Wonder if I made a mistake?
