Ask a Rennie / Scadian / Reenactor

5


5 per session - Virtual OK - Posted Apr 19, 2017

I am happy to provide answers to any questions you have either about the renaissance festival (I'm a rennie), the Society for Creative Anachronism (Scadian), or being a reenactor in general although I can tell you that I specialize in the medieval/renaissance time period.

I can any questions on how to get into things such as chain maille as I am a weaver or I can ask my husband fighting advice. I can tell you were to get the best garb or the cheapest depending on what you need.

I can help you with persona development or backstory development.

I can even tell you how to get into the festival as an employee if that is more your interest. Or point you in the direction of medical help if you were a rennie.

I can tell you what groups to join if you are looking for work. I can help you in whatever you need!

Training & Qualifications


I have a BA in Medieval Studies from Emory University. I have participated in medieval reenactment since I was 15 in both the Renaissance Festival (Florida and Georgia) as well as the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA). I know how to do several arts and crafts from a historical point of view as well as a more creative one.

Melvin was very patient with the process, and an absolute pleasure to talk to. I could see myself working with him again anytime.

Melvin started out friendly, communicative and enjoyable to talk to. That all stopped when he felt insulted by the work I performed, and we hold a di...ffering opinion on soft vs. hard science. His interactions with me were incredibly unprofessional, emotionally charged and egocentric. He preferred to compare me unfairly, cast personal insults, pass blame and take everything I said personally than to accept my responses seeking clarification and offers to rework the original draft. I sent him one final message with a request that he be more professional, and his reply was to tell me to go to hell, and call me an asshole. I would absolutely not recommend working with him.show more

Melvin is a complicated person. Melvin's needs far and away exceed the 20 "Simbi's" that were offered and I proposed a professional and efficient way ...to solve and assist Melvin. I wish nothing but continued success for Melvin and hope the issues at hand are sloved easily through Simbi's vast array of qualified people/helpers.show more
