I am the real person behind all the vast Medieval and Renaissance knowledge. In here you will see the more personal side of me, my likes, dislikes, favorite sites on the net, favorite pastimes and hobbies.

My name is John Brunette, but most people call me "Clisto". I live in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and was born and raised here in the state. Yes, I am a cheesehead. I am 52 years old, will be married for 32 years this June and have an 20 year old son who is going to college for video game design. I own a ranch style home with a pool in a quiet subdivision and have been blessed enough to have most of the things I want. Occupation wise, I am a Senior Computer Operator/Analyst/Webpage Designer. I am also an avid Medieval Reenactor/Performer, Renaissance Faire goer, Actor, role playing gamer, windup phonograph collector, Kenpo Karate 2nd Degree Black Belt, fantasy art card collector, medieval weapons enthusiast/broadsword fighter and novice writer.
Below I have listed many of my favorite things. My number one passion is Medieval History, Medieval & Renaissance Faires. I studied it in college as well as many years since. I have also played the part of King Richard the Lionheart in a History Channel documentary in March of this year 2006 called "Decoding the Past - Secrets of the Koran", as well as other crusade roles. I also perform at Medieval/Renaissance faires.If you would like to see more about these topics or more on the periods, check out my very comprehensive web site: "Sir Clisto Seversword's Tome of Adventure and Knowledge." You won't find another source of links for Renaissance faires, arms & armor, castles, clothing, food, music, organizations, dragons, history and much more pertaining to this subject all in one central location on the net. There are 104 chapters of different topics in all and it is visited daily by over 170 countries with over 3 Million hits. It is also 100% Family Friendly!!!. Also, let me know if you have or know of a new related site you would like to see added.

My next favorite pastime is Role Play Gaming. I have been an RPGA - (Role Playing Gamers Association) member for many years. I am also the treasurer of the world wide gaming club of Southeastern Wisconsin: Just click on it to go there. At that site, you will find links to other gamers, gaming clubs and gaming companies, besides info. about our club. It's one of the best and only clubs left out there and anyone can join. By the way, our club also took 1st place for the best all around sanctioned gaming club newsletter in North America for 1995, 1996 and 1997, and just took 1st place for the all around best club Web Site for 1999. Also, many other awards for 2000 in the RPGA Decathlon as well as special awards for other events in later years. It's very informative, so check out how to subscribe. Below are my favorite role playing systems:
Ravenloft - Love anything Gothic Horror or related

Below are some of the places to which I surf. And, as you can see by some of the links, I do have a fascination for strange phenomenon. I do believe in the paranormal, from ghostly experiences of my own, and am of the mind set that we just can't be the only living beings or creatures in existence anywhere in all relative time and space. Besides, it's also a lot of fun. Anyway, back to my interest's.
The Discovery Channel
