This webpage is dedicated to the game of Rat Puck. Rat Puck was
invented by Masters Danny Lord and David Rowe one rainy weekend
in Kansas City, Kansas. It all began when they started pucking
actual taxidermied rats that the Rat Lady had given unto them.
By the next spring the great game of Rat Puck was given into the
care of Emrys Fleet who
has shepherded the game ever since. Rat Puck is now played at
many Renaissance type faires, festivals, and marketplaces.
This webpage is written from the point of view of my experiences
at the Sterling N.Y. Renaissance Festival and Summer Marketplace
near the town of Fairhaven on the south side of Lake Ontario in
the State of New York, USA. While I have talked with puckers
from other faires, Sterling is my home faire and the place where
I play the vast majority of my rat pucking. So, I am stating
this right up front to avoid any conflicts with the experiences
of others.
Make sure to check back here again from time to time. I have
lots of ideas for future construction projects on this
webpage! I hope you enjoy what you find here and that it
entertains you immensely. Maybe it will inspire you to get
yourself a rat and a stick and come out and puck with us! We
don't bite, honest -- well, maybe Emrys does every now and then!
