Intro


 

The Settmour Swamp encampment at Pennsic welcomes any citizens of the Barony, as well as friends, neighbors, and other fellow-travelers. The camp is managed by camp stewards, usually a team of 2-3 people, who arrange infrastructure, layout, budget, daily tasks, and all that.

If you plan to join the baronial encampment, please make sure to look over the items on this page. With a camp that’s usually 70-90 people strong, we need everyone to work from the same assumptions.

The Settmour Swamp Pennsic Encampment has hosted a nighttime revelry for decades. Long ago, we’ve decided the best way to ensure that everyone has a good time is to divide the chores and burdens of hosting a pennsic party between as many fellow campers as possible.

The Barony of Settmour Swamp is located on Brewers' Road, block E12 (map).

Directions from Troll:

  • Continue forward on Currie Road
  • Turn right onto Chandler's Road
  • Merge onto Brewer's Road, passing Bone's Nose on the left, but not passing Howards Fenway on the right.

This site has not yet been measured against the checklist of the Kingdom Accessibility Porter. For additional concerns, please contact the Event Steward listed to the right.

Activities

Anyone in camp in that time is expected to help set up camp (and are thus excused one breakdown shift).

The Barony marches as a group in the East Kingdom procession. Wear green, black, and white if you can.

Thursday is Swamp Night, so naturally, we have court just beforehand.

Our traditional party. Details to be found in the Revelry section of this page.

A meeting to get everyone’s thoughts on what worked and what didn’t in camp this year; make notes for improvements next year; and talk about breakdown.

EVERYONE is expected to help.
