Lord Séamus mac Néill Uí Chonchobhair has been a member of the SCA since 2015, but has been playing on and off since his first event, Fall Crown in the Kingdom of the West in 1992. Since coming back to the SCA full time in 2015, he's grown into various roles around the Barony of Wintermist, including Baronial Herald and Webwright, as well as being deputy in both positions and for Arts & Science. He's been an authorized rapier fighter since GWW 2018, and is slowly learning Cut & Thrust as well. Over the pandemic, he supported the Barony by doing remote consultations for heraldry, and operating the monthly Zoom calls for the Baronial Council Meetings. Most recently, he's started the incipient Wintermist chapter of the Right Noble Brewers Guild of Caid, and is actively looking for new things to catch his attention. Mostly, though, he just loves helping people around him to have fun, because that's what we're really all here for.
