Company traveling west?

I did look up pennsicwar.org, the site that does hold the games for 2weeks (17days total). They are in far western PA, on the border. They usually hold the wars in mid to late summer. They are a heavily SCA endorsed organization. However, they say you don't have to be an SCA to attend. Thought I would just spread the word.

Thanks for all your input.

Yeah several of my friends from here in NYC do it; Eddo, Jolie Voltaire, Capt. Zhorik to name 3. I went with them once.. only stayed a few days.. from what i saw there was ffectively zero boffer larping. I did not see a single non human race there (using KR terms) and almost 100% of the battle was SCA meaning solid wood weapons, all steel plate and heavy leather armor. Big ogre like guys pounding on everyone they could (seemed like bullies to me) from what I gleaned from the SCA rules going on. and what was explained to me. the only way to be effective in the battle is to be the equivalent of a WoW tank. and if you arent the only way to be efective in the "battle" is to inflict actual physical injury to one's opponent.. which... is dumb. but as Im not an actual SCA person and arent INDEPTHLY knowledgeable of their rules dont quote me. I'm just stating what i remember and what I observed.

(btw they dont allow you to ACTUALLY inflict physical injury on purpose)

10 Days... that's a lot of books

And not much sleep.

I think if we had a ten day KR event we would in fact actually form a portal to the real travance. Unfortunately it would be coma induced lol.

Being at a campground, gives us the added benefit of lodging facility setup. We'd need that info as well, to contact them for location and costs. Your costs to attend, food costs, and any other charges involved.

I honestly have no idea if there actually is a lodging facility set-up at either of the two campsites we use within Hickory Run State Park, PA.  We use Daddy Allen and Shehaqua (sp?), which are boy scout campsites with cabins scattered throughout.  The costs for attendance are on the website - typically a main meal is served Saturday night gratis (it is not gaurunteed but usually occurs, and while every effort is made to make it edible despite most allergies, there is only so much staff can do - if you do have strong food allergies it may be best to prepare to get something for yourself off-camp), and while people do often have other foods throughout the weekend, they are served by individual players and can cost InGame or OutofGame money depending on that person.  There are places to get some food not far from camp, or you can bring food yourself (but there is only one kitchen which is operated by kitchen staff and pretty much taken over throughout Saturday - you'd have to check to see when you could use the facilities as to not be in the way of their work). 

Hope that info helps.
