Have you ever had questions about copyrights for your art or published work, or trademarks for your business? How about patents for an invention you came up with? Or how insurance works in relation to officers and other aspects of our organization?
These are only a few ways in which the modern world impacts the game we play.

We are looking for teachers for the event. If you are willing to share your professional experience in a manner that can better our scadian experience, please contact Mistress Katherine. Some examples of teachers in fields of interest would be project managers, accountants, employment recruiters, attorneys and medical professionals.
Also, there has been a suggestion that the classes be recorded and then uploaded. We would be greatly appreciative of any volunteers that could assist with this mission.

Don Jerryd de Wayne has agreed to share his 5-man melee knowledge and teach tactics and strategies for 5-man units. For those unfamiliar with Don Jerryd, he has won five 5-Man tournaments at Pennsic over the years, although there’s rumors that that is a low ball estimate.
