The Ace and Jack of the Low Company of (Sc urrilous) Gamesters and Gamblers invite you to join them virtually on the evening of Sunday the 6th of February from 7:30 to 10:30. H ere they will try to part you from your ducats\, groats\, pennies\, denari\ , sous\, livre\, thalers\, scudi\, guilders\, shillings\, or what ever coin you have lying around.

Symon will teach you to play to games in the hocs or stops family of games. First will be Queen Nazare en\, as described by Charles Cotton in his compendium\, "The Compleat Games ter". A light and easy diversion which precedes games known to current age travelers such as Newmarket or Michigan\, it will serve to introduce you to the concepts of stops games\, and part you from a few virtual coins along the way.

Then he'll teach Poch\, also known as Pochspiel by those nor th of the Danube. Poch is a game with three phases - one a lottery\, one wh ich would eventually evolve into Poker (note the linguistic connection)\, a nd one which is a stops phase reminiscent of Cribbage.

We will gather virtually using the Kingdom's Google Meet (watch the Baronial mailing list for the link or ask Symon for it)\, and then leverage playingcards.io as o ur virtual game table. All are welcome regardless of experience. Virtual ch ips will serve to represent whichever coinage you feel like.

To all those interested in the stewardship of events: the next meeting of the Autocrats' Roundtable will be the eveni ng of April 20th\, from 7:30 - 9:30pm. This will be a virtual meeting -- t o join\, go to https://meet. google.com/ush-vumj-fip.

This one isn't going to be quite as stri ctly run as our last meeting\, but there are several topics I'd like to inc lude:

*** Lessons that we have been learning as we begin to run in-p erson events again. This is a chance for a bit of general debrief and disc ussion\, so that we can improve our habits.** *** Resources for autocrats . There have been a number of guidebooks written over the years\, so let's share those\, and talk about useful websites and other stuff that would be helpful to know about.** *** Brainstorming and workshopping event ideas. What would be fun to try? What are some ideas for easier first events\, for folks who want to dip their toes into the water?**

Everyone i s welcome -- no prior event-running experience is required\, just an intere st in how events work. Come on by\, and bring your thoughts on these and r elated topics!

What i s the SCA?

“The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an inte rnational non-profit volunteer educational organization. The SCA is devoted to the research and re-creation of pre-17th century skills\, arts\, combat \, culture\, and employing knowledge of world history to enrich the lives o f participants through events\, demonstrations\, and other educational pres entations and activities.”

From the [East Kingdom’s Chatelaine](https://chatelaine.eastk** **ingdom.org/wordpress/) page:

The SCA welcomes all people who share our interest in the Middle Ages. We have par ticipants of all ages\, racial or ethnic backgrounds\, religious affiliatio ns\, sexual orientation\, level of education\, and economic backgrounds. We truly embrace the diversity found in our groups and respect all viewpoints . The only thing expected is an interest in the Middle ages\, and a willing ness to participate and learn.

We share a dream of daring knig hts and lovely ladies\, of castles and of tourneys\, and colorful banners f lying. Feasting with kings and queens\, attending royal courts\, and living the ideals of honor and courtesy\, this is what we are about. We do this b y learning new arts and skills\, by teaching these things to others\, suppo rting the efforts of each other\, and treating each other with respect.

There won't be a normal online Newcomers ' Night this month -- I'll be flying home from Thanksgiving on the usual ni ght.

*But* our Dancemistress will be traveling next week\, and ha s asked me to fill in for her. So we're going to combine the two\, and mak e next Thursday's Dance Practice into an *in-person* Newcomers' Night\, for the first time in a long time\, and you're all invited!

As the n ame says\, this is a practice. No SCA garb required -- wear normal street clothes that you find comfortable to move around in.

No previous dance experience is needed\, and you don't need to bring a partner: all dan ces will be taught\, and we'll choose different partners for each dance. D ances will be on the easier side\, and will range from sedate to a little b it energetic\, but this isn't going to be heavy aerobic exercise.

To make the evening even better\, we'll be joined by the Waytes of Carolin gia\, who will provide us with live music for dancing\, so it will also be a great opportunity to talk with them about period music if you like!

Dance practice happens at the Presentation Found ation School\, at 640 Washington Street in Brighton. That's on the cor ner of Washington and Tremont Street\, and there's a free parking lot on th e Tremont Street side (40 Tremont Street on your GPS). It's also T accessi ble via the 57 and 64 bus routes. Either way\, it's fairly easy to get to. There are a few small eateries nearby\, and lots more down Washington Str eet\, if you want to grab something to eat beforehand. (I'll be having my dinner in the dance room\, if anyone wants to show up a little early and jo in me.)

We'll be meeting in the Allston-Brighton Room -- from the parking lot\, there's a staircase down from the right-hand entrance (if th at door is locked\, come in the left-hand entrance\, and turn right to get to the stairs). Go through the door at the bottom of the stairs\, and we'r e at the end of the hall. There's also an elevator down\, at the left-hand entrance.

Dancing will start around 7:30pm\, and we'll run until about 9:30\, with a break in the middle.

So if you can\, I encourage you to come by and join us -- it should be a lot of fun\, a great chance to meet some folks\, and the more's the merrier!

Sincerely\,

Justin

Chatelaine Carolingia

A winter's night is made better by enterta ining each other! Please join us for Winter Nights East\, where performers (storytellers\, poets\, singers\, instrumentalists\, dancers\, actors\, et c.\; solo or as a small group) will perform\, and will set performance chal lenges for each other. Performers are encouraged to evoke the time and pla ce of their piece\, and new performers are encouraged to participate.

In addition\, their Excellencies of Carolingia will choose their new Court Performer during Winter Nights: competitors will state their intent at th e start of the event\, so their Excellencies can judge their performances t hroughout the day. Their Excellencies' current champion I Sebastiani (TGCd ATITEW) will help host the competition - in character. The competitions wi ll overlap (with separate judging)\, with bonus points given to court perfo rmer contestants for performances in the commedia themes of wealth\, knowle dge\, love\, and desire/food/foolishness\, as well as for accepting challen ges from the characters.

Challenges will take place in rounds\, the n umber of rounds depending on the number of competitors.
* First round\ , please state who you are and where you come from\, then perform a short ( 3-7 minutes) piece of your own choosing.
* Second round will begin hea d to head challenges\, now that we all know each other a little bit. Chall enge pairs will be organized by the MOL. Pairs will issue challenges to ea ch other (topics such as “revenge”\, “true love”\, “anything *except* Shake speare sonnets”\, etc -- be kind!)\, or if they’re stumped for a topic\, we will have curated inspiration cards to use instead. Each pair will have t he length of the previous two performances to prepare to meet their respect ive challenges. Rounds will continue until we run out of time.
* Fina l round will be another set of head to head challenges. Depending on the a vailable time\, the final round may narrow the field to a subset of perform ers\, based on the judging results of both Winter Nights and the Court Perf ormer championship.
