Introduction

I am Montgomery Josh, and am still getting to find my niche (or niches) within the SCA. If you see me at an event or on social media, please feel free to stop by and say hello. I enjoy meeting people and hearing about your persona and work in the SCA. Or your work outside of the SCA. Or, well, anything really as I am way too old and not a masochist enough to learn to swing rattan. I'm more of a sadist and would rather bring the rain from siege weapons. Then again, I'm more the type to stand back and heckle Squire Pyle.

Persona

My persona is "me" in a different time period. Lucky to have not been cast into the Iron Maiden or lava pit for the blasphemy that comes from my mouth because at-home latte makers haven't been invented yet and no way would I survive having to milk a cow before coffee in the first place. So if I am going to be me... as they say, the great engineers were Scottish thus I am taking on the persona of a 16th century Scottish engineer, bardic wordsmith, stand-up philosopher, and generic pain-in-the-ass. The name Montgomery Josh is a tribute to another great Scottish Engineer: you may also call my Joshy or simply Mister Josh. Just never call me late to morning coffee.

Affiliations

Offices & Positions

  • Tamer of the Fourth Tyger, holder of the Sacred Chair and Whip of Rixx, heir to the Holy Rings of Cumberland.

Event Staff

None yet, however as a member of Iron Bog I assume I will be supporting every event we host whether it be during planning or staffing the day of the event in whatever role is needed. One does not simply tame the Fourth Tyger of the East with a pretty smile and loose fitting kilt. Even if one calls her Sasquatch.

Projects & Publications

Interests

  • Siege Weapons, from an A&S point of view to research and improve the design for target shooting (I'd love to see Ballistas used like giant crossbows in Archery competitions)
  • Siege Weapons, from a tactical point of view using them at Pennsic
  • Bardic Arts, wordsmithing and writing
  • Making bets if my wording can get the Herald or the Royalty to break character while reading the scroll
  • Filking, whether through words or personas
  • Kilting and period dress, whatever period I might wear for that day
  • Cursing in Scottish because yet again I didn't sew in "cheat pleates" to my kilt and eff me I'm too old to be rolling around on the cold Pennsic ground this early in the g-ddamn morning just to get dressed
  • Lobbying the royalty to make modern kilts be period
  • My morning latte or coffee or whatever caffeine potions exist
  • Telling someone to "Hold my latte" right before I embarrass them

In Case of Court

Please contact Katherine Barr of Cumberland as she can work her Jedi-zen voodoo magic to make sure I'm where I need to be and still in proper garb.

More Information

If you are still reading my wiki, you need some serious help. If our Anachronism included the future (when there would be technology like phones and digital watches), I'd leave a few numbers to call. Since the only remedy available in our time is fermented, I suggest you try the Strawberry Surprise at Pennsic.
