Hail and well met on the road to war!
It is our sincere hope that everyone who can go to war has a wonderful time doing so. If you have any kind of off site housing, please remember to register for Camp Dark-An-Flung so we can have your space!
If you travel to war, please stop in at the Knowne World Party and consider donating a part of your time to help out. There are tons of events which need your help - but at the same time, remember that this is your event, too. If you need this time to relax and come back refreshed, absolutely take that time.
There is always a fine balance between working and playing in the SCA, especially given how we look at service. There is the urge to always be working, but that is not sustainable. Be willing to take an event or two, or even a year, off to just play. Be willing to say no - and be willing to accept if someone says they're taking some time to just play.
When the SCA becomes a second job, we lose people. Work must be part of the play, either because we enjoy the working or because we're balancing the two. There is no one right answer and we must each find that balance for ourselves.
See you at war - where we'll be doing very little besides playing (ok ok and helping out at the party)!
Yours in love and light,
James and Milesenda
Baron and Baroness of Darkwater
