SCA: Rialto Resident "Consultant" List

as of March 28, 2001

maintained by Dave Aronson / Simon des Beaux Eaux

(LIST OF ADDRESSES FOLLOWS LIST OF CONSULTANTS.)
(PLEASE CHECK YOUR INFORMATION FOR CORRECTNESS.)

In order to reduce the number of basic questions asked on the Rialto, we have drawn up a list of consultants who can answer many questions in their respective areas. Here is the list of consultants who have volunteered to answer questions on various topics. If you have a question that you think one of them can answer, ask them first, by email. This list is posted monthly to the Rialto, and available permanently at

scacons.html

There are also many mailing lists where you can find help, on such things as heraldry, thrown weapons, other missile weapons, fencing, other forms of combat, SCA politics, leatherwork, minstreling (or whatever the appropriate noun is!), and much more. See the FAQ (link coming soon) for more information.
