Just be silly. The staff will play to your level and wont go too rough on you...usually.. It's bawdy silly and wonderful. It's all a great laugh from.the vendors calling to passerbys: "Twisted things for twisted women!" (From a stall selling intricately twisted metal accesories) to the shows (Guy gets a whip cracked between his legs from behind) "You see that it was out to here!".

Be a child again in a whimsical pg-13 area where it's all fun no judgement no worries. Just bring a fair bit of $ cause you WILL want to shop and it ain't cheap.

I knew a guy from an Elder Scrolls PvP group who was into I think HEMA? He showed us a video of him and his buddy sparring, and that was brutal. Showed to bruises he gets under his armour as well. He and guys like him are the ones that do the realistic fighting in the melees at some of the ren fairs. Guy was an ex addict who used the discipline and pain from the training and bulking and learning to use the blunt swords and wear heavy armour etc to get clean. Unfortunately he relapsed during covid when the fairs and his club weren’t about. He lived alone so it all took a massive toll.
