The Pennsic War can be whatever you want it to be. With some preparation, it can be a lot of fun, extremely relaxing, greatly stimulating and very educational. Or, quite frankly, it can be a bore. It's up to you. If you take the trouble to plan ahead, put some effort forth to meet new friends and learn new things, it can be one of the highlights of your year.

We hope this will help you plan, and more importantly, help you to find the joy in Pennsic we have found year after year. See you at the War!
