Every year, on weekends from mid September to late October, the St. Louis Renaissance Faire comes to town. During those weekends, Rotary Park in Wentzville is alive with the spirit of renaissance times. On Oct. 25, STLCC Meramec’s own Table Top Role Playing Group (TTRPG) went as a group to the fair, going to all the shops and events.
“Basically, a bunch of nerds [and others] decide to play dress up and then go pretend like they’re in the Renaissance period,” president of TTRPG Elizabeth Pufahl said.
Acting out the Renaissance period includes a variety of things, from big turkey legs to the events, there is always something going on
“I’ve been at the jousts, I love the energy in the crowd. Everybody gets super into it and picks a side,” TTRPG adviser Melody Walkenhorst said.
Often, the events will draw people in, but the food is also a staple.
“The turkey legs are a classic, but I heard the pizza is not good, so no pizza,” Pufahl said.
All of this said, TTRPG is planning on continuing on going for years to come.
“I hear people already talking about how we are going to do this again next year,” Walkenhorst said. “It’s something I go to on my own anyway and we’ve gone as a club in the past, and it’s all a good time.”
