- Mah Jongg Tile Set Description
-
- Tile Set Name: SCA.TIL
- Subject: Society for Creative Anachronism Tile Set
- Created by: Mark T Floss
- aka Lord Morgan MacDonald McCrae
-
- Description:
-
- This tile set shows symbols and registered heraldry familiar to
- members of the Society for Creative Anachronisms, the SCA. The
- tiles depicting positions or things which have heraldic Coats of
- Arms recorded by the SCA College of Arms, have their registered
- heraldry shown. Tiles with a red single quote in each upper corner
- depict items not having registered heraldry, but which were important
- enough to show a simulated heraldry. Other tiles are shown to
- represent SCA life familiar to all SCAdians.
-
- ***Please note that except for the registered heraldry, this tile
- set is not recognized or approved by the Board of Directors of the
- SCA. It is a personally created piece of software not
- representative on anything other than my warped mind***
