At present, there are three groups that feel like "family" to me: Xmarksthescot, the Renaissance re-enactment guild I belong to and The Highland Warriors Kingdom of the Gaels (a guild we play with most often at Ren faires). It is not unheard of for members of St. Gyles Guild of Royal Lancers (my guild) or Highland Warriors to open their homes to other members. I suspect the same is true of the members of XMTS.

I can't think of a better "family" to belong to than XMTS.
