SCA Apocalypse

[Shades of Eternity]

I am working on something where the Society of Creative Anachronism sca reinterpreted the world after the apocalypse.

What would you expect?

How would society be adapted?

How would equipment be used (ex. BBQ Fork of Trials)?

Mainly doing this to see what wacky equipment would come out of it, but go nuts.

What do you mean by "reinterpreted the world after the apocalypse"? That phrasing doesn't make sense to me.

Do you mean "How would a future post-apocalyptic society interpret archaeological artifacts from our time, without having any context of how they were used?"

basically the governmental structure is based roughly on texts from the sca and how does it change society?

What ever way you like based on the titles and roles of the SCA.
I know little or nothing about the SCA but societies are governed by what is needed for security, physical (from internal and external enemies) and food supply. With more formality and structure as populations rise.
Nomadic hunter gather tribes can have very informal and have somewhat democratic systems of governance, as can scattered settlements of self-sufficient farmers. The latter mostly where the threat from invasion is low.
Add in marauders and you can get governance by warlords; city-states give rise to some different dynamics.
So, pick a lane, how far down the technology tree has the society gone? What population? How are they fed? What are the security threats? Work from there.

Who founded the first Renaissance Faire? | Maximum Fun

It’s the end of summer, which means thousands of nerds are descending upon fairgrounds around the country dressed in their finest medieval garb. But how did these festivals come to be?

Just a little research, and the founder of the SCA just became my hero.

She was amazing!

Depends on what texts.

The SCA itself is actually ruled by a Corporate BOD.

Locally, "royalty" is traditionally selected each year by a combat tournament (as if being able to hit people with sticks was going to get you a decent administrator for the year). But, the role of royalty is largely ceremonial, mostly concerned with making sure folks who are doing good work get recognition for their ability and efforts in combat, arts/science reconstruction, or service.

Nothing in SCA texts will tell you how to administer, say, actual agricultural policy so that people get fed.
