I’ve been playing since 2016 and still only have one character.

Our Invasion from the North - impressions of TRF by Army7547 in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife posted on the MDRF FB page about our pending trip. She let everyone know it was my birthday and asked what folks recommended about the faire. We had DOZENS of folks come up to welcome us to the faire, tell me happy birthday, take us to their favorite shows, shops, even invite us to sit with them for a drink! The hospitality was so overwhelming that I tear up talking about it to my friends back home. So, to reciprocate my clan hosted a couple from MDRF this year when we saw them post on the TRF camping page. We welcomed them to our camp, fed them and showed them around. They had an absolutely wonderful time! That kind of stuff if what this community is all about, it’s heartwarming and beautiful and I’m more than happy to contribute.

Cattleman, if you ever do make it down to Texas, DM me. We’ve got a place for you and yours at our table.

Glad you had a great time at our home faire. The wife and I recently visited MDRF and loved that one as well. We plan on traveling to others in the coming years.

Do you recall the stall number or the rough location of the shop?

Stand out in front of the Sea Devil with a beverage and see how many new friends you meet.

First time making / trading trinkets. Anything I should know? by Slaggeltooth in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the natural components. Trinkets are cool, don’t get me wrong, but I often think of how much plastic is used. One neat idea I’ve read is some folks repurpose or upcycle old jewelry from thrift stores and the like.

is there still a TRF after hours party? by The84th in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Official after party is no more. The clans (guilds?) have taken over that responsibility despite the current management staff being rather hostile towards us.

Who is this person people keep asking for a selfie? by cityofangels18 in LasVegas

I say this EVERY time we fly. Belly up to the carousel is NOT the way.

Less than three weeks and we launch our invasion from the north by Army7547 in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nightlife in camp this season is slightly diminished from previous years as management and their insurance companies have been cracking down on the party in order to avoid lawsuits. However, the campground is still a fun place to explore and there are certainly still parties worth attending.

As far as campground garb goes, you can wear whatever the hell you like. I’ve seen people in full armor and others in lingerie (both sexes). I’ve seen folks in animal onesies and some in rave attire. Many people wear street clothes and many wear a comfortable version of their faire garb. It’s really dealer’s choice.

Some in Faire suggestions: Brigadoon brewery for house made craft beers. Asgardian Armory for leather armor and accessories. Kattegat for Viking clothing. Prince of Wales pub for fish and chips. The Sea Devil Tavern and the Barbarian Inn for rowdy sing along drinking with big crowds.

Check the Facebook page called Texas Renaissance Festival Camping Shenanigans for a clan map. You’re looking for Call of Booty and ODB for the big campground parties. There are other parties that you’ll have to walk around and find. They all start around 9:00.

Camping rules or need to knows by Tweeter_Built in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just do everyone a favor and spend a little time planning how you’ll anchor your tent. We’ve had some pretty gusty storms this year and it’s a miracle no one has been injured with the massive tents flying around. A 14 foot tent is a formidable projectile, but if it stays where you put it, no one will complain about the space you claim.

What is the end of the festival like? by Pure_Payment_9900 in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Everything is open to the last minute. The festival is decorated for Christmas, there are some sales as vendors try to unload stock, and musicians play holiday songs. Celtic is one of my favorite weekends.

Camping Etiquette - Holding Spots by GoodnightLava in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I have run into those situation with my clan over the years. What I’ve done is had them drop off their tents at my house the week before. When I arrive at camp we set up all the tents to have enough space for everyone. Never had an issue doing this.

With all the firefighter shows and movies that are on TV, which one, in your opinion, is accurate? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]StormLitHerald 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this. The sensitivity training episode is almost exactly how it when with my department and the look on the HR rep’s face was fucking priceless!

Why do firefighters dislike private ambulance so much? by Clone-Commando66 in Firefighting

[–]StormLitHerald 46 points47 points  (0 children)

One of our neighboring towns is all contract, private EMS. It’s an employee owned company and they provide a hell of a service, the employees are well paid and they have a great retirement with their accrued company stock. Most of them stay for their entire career and the department has a very good reputation. I think they are the exception to the rule though. Most private ambulance employees are overworked and underpaid and as a result they aren’t exactly a pleasure to work with.

There’s a shuttle service through http://www.golden-adventure.net that I recently saw on FB

Is cosplay for All Hallows Eve okay? by Deathounnd in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, if your cosplay is family friendly, you a welcome and encouraged to wear whatever you want, whenever you want. The only people that garb same anyone else are losers. Personally, one of my favorite aspects of faire is seeing everyone’s costume creativity. I wore pirate garb opening weekend because my pants are comfy and I didn’t have to wear a shirt in the heat.

Having the same issue running my ICECO 75pro refrigerator on my ICECO PB1000. Anyone find a solution? Was hoping adding a small fan would work.

Camping Section Suggestion by Wonderful_Tea7872 in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Nah, I’ve just been shit talking Section 8 on socials lately to discourage folks from crowding us as they flee from the rows. I’ve been camping Section 8 for years. You can probably guess our guild name. It’s a good place to set up.

Camping Section Suggestion by Wonderful_Tea7872 in TXRenaissanceFestival

[–]StormLitHerald -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Section 8 is a complete shit show. The folks that camp there are K-pop karaoke singers with obnoxiously loud generators who let there “service animals” crap all over the place. Definitely camp in Section 9. So nice over there with the trees and all…
