From: Dragon <Cellio@CMU-CS-C.ARPA> The only thing children aren't allowed to do in the SCA (or at least in the East Kingdom) is to fight. If you want to fight, you have to be at least 18, or be at least 16 and have a waiver signed by your parents. However, there are lots of non-fighters in the SCA; people are involved with crafts, music, dancing, cooking, and lots of other things. Last year there were over 3000 people at the war, and only about 800 or 900 of them were fighters. There were plenty of other things to interest people. (I'm a fighter, so I'm not sure of what all these things were...) There is also nothing to stop a child from having a persona that is completely different from those of his parents. -D -------
