I went to the Janesville, WI Renaissance Faire today. If you ask me, I think these Renaissance Faire's should be re-named to Fantasy Faire. I'm not asking for historic accuracy, but there were more time periods then just the Renaissances in attendance. The faire had more in common with Dungeons and Dragons then the actual Renaissances.
Timeline gripe aside, I did have a good time. I enjoyed watching the demonstration of how a surgeon would "heal" the wounded back in ye olde days. It involved mostly wrapping the person up and calling the clergy because the injured was going to die.
The Faire was the first time that I saw so many people dressed in fantasy garb, yet not a single 20-sided die in sight.
