Sir Dallas,
I know this is a old post. I help start the Chapter of the ECS in Las Vegas in 1990. The group in Tx you will only find a few that may like what you do. They are small group with 40-50. I on the other come from Kingdom Of Vega and we fight much more and harder there. I been in the SCA,Black Talon,ECS, Adrain Emipre and many Tuchux bear pits.
The ECS rules are are tame but they are meant to be with dead steel.
I like what I see but it a bit far to drive more than once or twice a year.
I am full time leather crafter. If some lives in the DFW area please contact me.
