I'm just kidding. I have attended the RenFair near us several times, never in costume. I would not where a dueling sword as there is some genetic thing in me that could get serious. I don't know exactly why but my family history is full of sword "play" and duels to the death. Best leave those things in a museum.

No. I've only ever attended a few of them, and that was a long time ago. Aristus Aug 2017 #2
