The demographic? Wolf, there are SCAdians who have died of old age -- or complications thereof. Author Poul Anderson was just one. We're starting to do necrologies. If ever you were fond of "days of old, knights were bold" and anything else that went with it, the SCA is for you. Admittedly, it isn't quite academically rigorous, but you can find people within it who are. Post-Classical to pre-seventeenth-century Europe plus peoples Europeans came in contact with before 1603 AD may not be the very tight focus that Living History groups have, but the relatively low entry level bar setting lets a lot of people in to start enjoying... and in the SCA so many nerdlies and not-so-closeted romantics find a home. The Society is unparalleled as a dating pool for nerds... every lover I've ever had was at least a onetime SCAdian, and so is the wife.
