Way back when in the early days of my college studies, a friend of mine 
introduced me to AD&D. It was a great stress reliever back then. Then the 
guy I was dating (who also played) said to me, "How would you like to go 
beyond AD&D and try the real Medieval life for a weekend?" So, I said 
"Sure, I'm game." He then took me to a Candlelight Camp in the Shire of 
the Small Grey Bear in wilds of far west Meridies. I got sunburned during 
the day, froze that night, and have never been far from the SCA since. My 
RPG'ing paralleled the SCA for a while, and I think I got more into the 
role-playing because of it. I even won a couple of awards in D&D 
tournaments for it. But, somehow the SCA was better, because we were 
recreating the REAL thing (TM)! After moving here to Atlantia, I didn't 
have any RPG contacts, but I sure had SCA contacts. Needless to say, the 
rest is history!
