Welcome, Todd!
As an old SCAer (SCAdian?) myself, I think you'll enjoy Knight Realms. We're obviously not as historically centered as the SCA, but that allows for a bit more creativity and variety when interacting with people.
One big, BIG thing - if you were a "stick jock" back in the day, please remember that KR is much lighter combat than rattan & steel. At our events, speed and accuracy, and not the force of the hit, determine what counts. I remember having to learn to hit *hard* enough in the SCA and at Pennisc, here, the trick is to favor multiple quick hits over a stronger shot. But don't worry, there's still plenty of reason to limber up that sword arm!
