Siege:Handbook

Introduction

This document is designed to provide a basic structure for the safe and effective administration of siege engine activities within the SCA. These regulations are designed to provide a common structure for siege activities while giving the individual Kingdoms as much freedom as possible to develop their own structure for the support of these activities. The current revised edition is the result of extended discussions and consultations among Kingdom deputies for siege and the Deputy Society Marshal for Siege Engines, Sir Jean-Claude von Adlerstaat. It is our expectation that the revisions made to this edition improve the safety, authenticity and games play for siege in the Society. So let’s have fun – and hey, let’s be careful out there!
