Scoring your wargaming friends
150 - 200 points
Probably very young, your friend is an impressionable sort. At the moment they are most likely war gaming fanatics. But never fear, if they progress normally they will be the same way about the SCA in a few years time.
50- 150 points
A good sort, your friend fits with most of us. His gaming interests probably extend to both role-playing and board games. He/She keeps things in perspective and will make a good spouse for someones some day. In short, they are not all dissimilar to the sort of person we like to have around.
