Traveling within the World
MacGregor Historic Games
We have been in business researching and selling board, dice and card games from the past since 1994. Our replica playing cards are used by historical reenactors around the world.
We've owned a booth at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival since 1995 and appear at a number of other events in the midwest.
While we do not claim to be the last word on historic games, we do take pride in our on-going research, and the wide variety of historic and regional rules we include with our games. We are happy to answer questions whenever we can, or refer people to other sources for research help.
Dept of PMM Artists & things
We await to see the group fill in and grow. Most other groups have copied the pages of the current Web site of the Artist/Crafter to the Group with a link upon the end of the discussional back to the original posting. This allows one to read and peak an interest to go further. The data you have hinted at recently in your pictures and short links you have left are well looked forward to to here in your Artist/Crafter Group.

I was going to put a circular chess game on this second-hand table that I found, but realized my Celtic Pentagram design could fit in the inlaid circle and then I could put the seasonal greenmen I've done in the past in the corners. Anyone in the market for a special altar?

Fun news. I just got an Email asking if it was okay to use our 18th century English playing cards as set dressing for a TV adaptation of "Death Comes To Pemberley" by P. D. James.
