Regial Pursuit

[folo1]

Got a wild hair up my bum this morning. Been doing "Regial Pursuit"--Trivial Pursuit about matters pertaining to Regia--for a while to my group. I gathered ten good questions, arranged them as multiple choice and plan to have them on the literature table at Reenactorfest, etc., with a note to stop by our recruiting table if the reader is interested in the answers. Who knows if it'll work, but it was a fun hour or so of design!

I figured folks on LJ might be interested in what is contained. If you want to know the answers...well, come to ReenactorFest and stop by the table :) (or drop me a line)
