People
Since Pennsic XXV in 1996 the event has gathered over 10,000 participants each year. These include not only SCA members from across the globe, but also members of various other historical re-enactment groups such as Markland; and martial arts-based organizations, such as the Tuchux or Rome. Pennsic is, however, an SCA event; members of other groups are welcome, but are generally expected to follow SCA rules—especially in regards to armor, weapons and behavior on the battlefield for the various fighting scenarios. According to the Pennsic Independent, a privately-published newspaper published on-site, the final count for 2009 was 10,947.
