They fight at Pennsic, so to fight at Pennsic, they need to be "authorized" by SCA refs

I have... opinions on Gor 😄

YUP

The bunny girls are a thing

but it's like, harmless, I just give it a giggling side eye

Apparently, they are just straight up nekkid at camp

However, the Chux also helped rescue my friend's car when it got mired in mud, sooooo

As long as they don't take it TOO far with the like, brutalization. I recognize liking worldbuilding without the deep dive into depravity

Yeah, they're having their nekkid fun in their camp - they are WAY off, behind parking, in the woods

I still love Xanth, with a HUGE SALT SHAKER, etc

oh god, yeah

Xanth was so important to, like, 13-14 year old me

When I was 11 and didn't pick up on the subtext (barely sub at that) it was SO COOL.

YUP

11, 13, 14 in that range 🙂

14 may have been incarnations series

which is also skeevy

Oh, I named all of my vidya game characters (which were all male at that time) Zane

The setting was BRILLIANT for incarnations

YES

if onyl they had skipped the preteen/older man relationship justifications

Right?

but the CHARACTERS (chefs kiss)

And man, I really, really adored With a Tangled Skein

And the ending was, mwah

I have not read the god/satan ones, and I am okay with that

I did really like how it ended

then again, I haven't read it in.... 20+ years sooooo

hee

I think I might have one or two still on the shelves upstairs

My understanding is that the Chux are, yes, SCA-adjacent and A LOT of weird on the surface/IC but as people many of them are professionals and also genuinely decent and caring human beings.

WHAT THEY ADDED A SEVENTH BOOK?!

they WRAPPED IT ALL UP and FINISHED IT. In 1990. Then apparently there was another one in 2007

the "genre trade paperback" bookshelf is double-stacked

Yeah, Chux are weirdos, but most of them I've met have been real decent folks. We had about 7 of them at practice on Tuesday, and they're all coming to our thing on Saturday

The Chux are ALSO why we exist as a chapter, period

Okay, the 7th Incarnations book was like a weird prequel that tied a bunch of things together for some characters past that linked them to why they fit in the future. Completely unnecessary, I will skip

Back in the day, you need so many signatures from paid members & photocopies of membership cards as proof to establish a local group. Youngstown didn't have enough regular SCAdians - the Chux 'chief' showed up at a meeting, asked how many we needed, and was back a week later with 20 names

...I wonder if my love of WATS is an influence on Zara

she does a LOT of spidery/weaving imagery

fitting!

HOw's everyone doing?

omg, Zuzu just intentionally got up and laid down next to baby 😍

Morning
