Dawn Under

 

Life is happening. So a simple post for October (yes it is now November). Dawn Under is about Vampires finding a grave before dawn. The game is, at its core, a memory game, but it has some quirks.

1. It gets hard as the game progresses, not easier (fewer open graves)
2. You can sabotage spaces (garlic)
3. At any time there are only about to capitalize on 2 times of spaces (you can only place vampires from either open end of your row)

This game is accessible to kids and they may even have a bit of an advantage. If that is not the case, you can play with only the kids get garlic or without garlic at all.

Bonus, the rules provide a change for a shorter or easier game.

SCA Beyond This Blog

On this blog I’m sharing my ideas but there are also resources within the structure of the SCA. This post will focus on the East Kingdom as that is my kingdom.

Chancellor Minor of East Kingdom

• “In modern terms, the Chancellor Minor is best described as the Youth and Family Activities and Engagement Officer.”

• FAQ especially the “What about my infant/child/teenager?” section with guides for different life phases.

• Tyger Camp

Also looking into resources from your local group, whether on a website or from talking to people.
