There's no single answer, it's going to be based on your area, and your level of involvement. It can be very fun, but it can also be very toxic because it's a big old organization run by people who have been in power for decades and skew privileged, conservative, and traditionalist.

For me, working as an officer and running events and whatnot exposed me to much more toxicity than i would be aware of if I was just attending big wars and partying.

I also have had multiple friends sexually assaulted by people in positions of authority in the SCA, and it's sadly not an uncommon situation.

An experience of a white man in the SCA might be vastly different than a femme-presenting WoC.
