Ren Faire 2025 Options

[SubRosa]

Here are some pics and very short videos from yesterday's visit to my local Renaissance Faire. (Imgur seems to usually fit the pics to you screen when you first click on them. But once it comes up you can click in it a second time to see it full size).

The little mini Viking village of Ulfgard had a Raven. You don't realize how much bigger these are than common crows until you see them up close.

Nevermore

This was my section's knight in the jousting match

He was definitely the Heel, but he was a still a crowd favorite, because who doesn't love a good villain?

A closer pic

I love this wavy things he does with his arms

Note that you are supposed to ride past at full speed and spear a bullseye in the hay bale

The only way to settle this is with lances

Disarmed

A foot battle that closed things out

nice. Interesting, our Renfest also begins some time in late August. Continues until October (weather permitting). Perhaps this is true in all states. When I was a kid it was held in our hometown, we could literally walk there, In high school we'd all get stoned as we walked footpaths. but nowadays it's in the (appropriately-named) town of Crownsville, about a half hour away by car. 🤴🏽

A while back I found a thread in Beth's Skyrim forums in which several devs (Vsions, Thunderjunk, etc.)talked about spending the day at the Maryland Rennfest. If I go this year I'll have my eye open for Todd, the only dev whose face I know, although he prob wears a helmet, being that famous and all.


Looks like mirocu made it. 🦆 Or perhaps January is nearby.

Sunny day in Michigan. Does your RF have a mud show too? Participants jump into and eat mud???? Blecch!

Yea that move the knight does with his arms almost looks like a disco move.

What's the guy in blue doing (waving his arms) in the hay bale clip? -- ARRRGH!! looks like!

Whoa, the lance broke, looks like! Even with a fullsuit of armor I'd flinch if that huge weapon was aimed at me!

The final melee is intense. Notice they get close enough to throw & land punches, it's not just swords. 🤺 What a cute girl having some apricot w/her tatted mommy!
