BARONY OF AYRETON, KINGDOM OF THE MIDDLE – As we are entirely too well aware, sometimes writing satire is all the harder because reality is more ridiculous than our creative writers room finds plausible for our style of ridiculous sideways looks at the world. Unfortunately, due to the American news cycle having more rotations than a laundromat washer-dryer, the satire blog…

SHIRE OF NETHER STABBINGTON, NORTH BY NORTHEAST KINGDOM* – Bookies across the Society for Creative Anachronism are reportedly biting their nails today, as the first reign to be selected by something other than rattan combat stretches into its third day. At the time this story went to print, there were only a few hours before the end of the day, and it’s less and less likely that the Society will collapse before dinner on the East Coast.

BARONY OF RECURSIVA, KINGDOM OF OBLIVIA* – In a move which has polarized the kingdom, a member of a local barony (renamed “Dave” to protect privacy) has been sanctioned by the Crown for social media posts in which "Dave" said that they approved of a Revocation of Membership and Denial of Benefits which had recently been implemented by the Board of Directors…

SHIRE OF ADAVALE, KINGDOM OF EATENFIELD* – The Crown and Seneschallate of Eatenfield are considering their options after the recent discovery that the Shire of Adavale has only one physical member, the Arts and Sciences Minister, Alex Sirisson (known in the Society as Lady Martina the Clueless), with the remaining membership made up entirely of LLM ChatBots. The Kingdom Seneschal, Baron Gaviston the Credulous, told…

SHIRE KNOWN AS “OF COURSE IT IS”, KINGDOM OF DOES IT EVEN MATTER? - Our editors were horrified, appalled, and not at all shocked to receive reports that a sitting royal had, yet again, sexually harassed women and gender minorities. Reporters were quickly dispatched to track down the story.  “Oh yes, that was a terrible situation, what, five years ago? I can tell you all about it,” responded Baroness Adalgarda of Tarascon immediately.

Paint me like one of your French leeks. RIDING OF HOLLEKE TOR, KINGDOM OF AETHER - We here at the SCAllion want to see what you’ve been up to this summer yet again.  If you’ve taken a photo with our very own Allie Umberto, let us know by uploading your photo here and you could see Allie (and yourself) on your very own vacation!

SHIRE OF OTTERLEIGH, KINGDOM OF SYUNIK* – What do you get the peer who literally has everything?  Another peerage!  On the docket for discussion as offered by Their Majesties of Syunik, is an award for the most peer-like, the very paragon of qualities, the highest of the qualities - the Acme! Our reporters visited the very first Peeriest Peer, Columbia de domo Baruchiya, at a special court held by Their Majesties at her hospital bedside where Columbia was receiving IV fluids after having collapsed from exhaustion while tearing down the last few pavilions at an event that everyone else had already left due to extreme heat and weather conditions.

A LAPTOP SET UP IN A SERVER STORAGE UNIT, SOMEWHERE IN THE STATES - Viscount Reimonde Guillaume de Gybsonne, KSCA has reached out to the Board of Directors of the Society for Creative Anachronism, asking for a variance allowing him to fight in Crown List for his personal artificial intelligence-based virtual companion, Idora Pandora. The question of whether a consort must be human has not been addressed since 1978, when a duke drunkenly suggested fighting for his pet terrier.

A WAFFLE HOUSE, SOMEWHERE – The SCAllion was alerted to the possibility of certain leaked documents relating to the most recent peerage authorized by the Board. A retrieval team was sent to a cardboard box near the dumpster behind a certain Waffle House, where we found draft text integrating the new peerage into existing ceremonies. Our reporters noted that many of the ceremonies that had been written also indicated that these documents would be mandatory in whole for each kingdom, in the exact wording without inter-kingdom anthropology guiding the Board's decision.

ACROSS THE KNOWNE WORLD – As numerous Society for Creative Anachronism groups ramp up social media posts for Pride, numerous still were complaints from medieval enthusiasts hoping to find a group that would accommodate their rather medieval ways of thinking.  “I thought free speech was period!” grumbled Brighthelm of York, after being roundly lambasted for mocking a Pride post on the Society’s Facebook page Sunday, the first day of Pride Month.

BARONY OF OAKGHYLL, KINGDOM OF OSRIA* – Honorable Lord Ralph Holes was feeling pretty proud of himself. Found among the redactions of the latest feast cook for a small baronial event and then published to Tournaments Illustrated was an open missive to all cooks, dayboard preparers, snackers from tables of decadence, vigil chefs, and the like, was a note stating how all prepared meals in the Society should be done.

SHIRE OF GLEN LINN, EAST KINGDOM — We know some of you have been waiting to see our take on the East's Crown Tournament, and we need to just be up front and transparent that we’ve reviewed the footage and firsthand reports from Allie Umberto on the scene and couldn’t find anything to satirize, to the point where our staff has spent the last few days poring over the livestream looking for literally…

BARONY OF BODLINGTONE, PRINCIPALITY OF CORPORA-PORA, KINGDOM OF BODLANDIA –  Over the weekend, Their Majesties Juglindore*, James and Isabelle, stated their intention to consult a standing member of their peerage for advice about the new peerage order. In a never-before-seen turn of events, the Society Board of Directors has completed its investigation into this seeming non-action long before The SCAllion…

A few days ago, we put out our Ask the Editorial Team Anything post as a way to connect with you, our readers, and we were blown away at how many responses we received in such a short time. Due to this overwhelming response, we’re putting out some of our AMA answers early!  You absolutely still have time to put out your burning questions…

BARONY OF BODLINGTONE, PRINCIPALITY OF CORPORA-PORA, KINGDOM OF BODLANDIA – With the addition of the newest Peerage of the Society for Creative Anachronism, the Board of Directors has released an official dress code in order to preserve the visibility of the peerages and other “important” people for the little people in back. The following items are prohibited. White accessories of any kind …

Hi SCAdians -- The SCAllion Editorial Team here. You also know us from our satire blog. You know us as the purveyors of silliness, good advice, and generally all-around good-natured shenanigans. The purpose of all of this is to connect with you and for you to ask questions that you might have of us and our team. You can be as serious or as silly as you'd like.

BARONY OF BODLINGTONE, PRINCIPALITY OF CORPORA-PORA, KINGDOM OF BODLANDIA – Fresh off his record-shattering Senate floor speech taking on the cruel and incoherent policies of the current presidential "administration", New Jersey Senator Cory Booker has declared his intention to repeat his performance before the only deliberative body more dysfunctional than the United States Congress – namely, the Society for Creative Anachronism's Board of Directors.

BETWEEN THE DIGITAL DIVIDE, KINGDOM OF RAMSBYTE* – In a shocking development, Pseudonymous Bosch, the Editor-in-Chief of The SCAllion has come forward with a bombshell statement regarding the authorship of several articles of the satire blog. Today, The SCAllion has been long accused of being too on the nose and too accurate to be funny.  In addition, we have had constant accusations that the workload is simply too high for a single person to write, publish, research, and proofread. 

RIDING OF HOLLEKE TOR, KINGDOM OF AETHER – The SCAllion Board of Directors is pleased to announce the inaugural “Black Faux” awards, to be given for exceptional reportage, satirical commentary, and cheap jokes.  As this is the inaugural slate, there are only three categories:  Best Satirical Publication, Most Exceptional Reportage, Cheapest Joke.  The winners in each category are:Best Satirical Publication:  …

The Knowne World found out shortly before 3 p.m. Eastern time on March 19th that the Board had come to a decision about whom the Board was planning to blame - and consequently revoke and deny membership to the Society - for the whole of the Ranged Peerage debacle. I knew two weeks before the first emails were sent that the R&Ds were coming.

BARONY OF BODLINGTONE, PRINCIPALITY OF CORPORA-PORA, KINGDOM OF BODLANDIA – The Board of Directors’ actions in the last few months have raised eyebrows across the Unknowne World, with their recent reorganization being the most striking example. The announcement made just last week that the Board would reduce its size to just five members was met with shock, which only increased when the specific Board positions were announced.

THE SMOLDERING RUINS OF THE SHIRE OF THE GREEN RIVER* - The year is AS LXXV. It’s been ten years since the kingdoms ignored the wise words of the Board of Directors and began knighting non-rattan combatants. If only we’d known what kind of chaos the Board was trying to save us from. If only we’d listened.  Our correspondents interviewed local populace member Ysenda Macgoulchane after reciting an elaborate series of call-and-response phrases to confirm we were not a roving band of marauders attempting to trick our way into her shelter to steal her art supplies.

We know you've missed us (we've seen the fan art and shoutouts to us in the last few weeks since the Board's . . . uh. Missteps), and while we're having fun covering everything, we're still pretty crispy. As in, a certain Southern colonel is considering adding us to his latest Kentucky-fried abomination crispy. So, we're going to post whenever we feel like it.
