Yes, I'm Gwen. In the SCA and some fandom. (And that you needed to namecheck is weirdly funny to me, as my LJ is under my real first and middle names.)
I believe Swordspoint was considered one of the first fantasies that was actually a full imaginary world with no suggestion of magic. It's happened since, I grant you, but what got my attention was that I never noticed. Someone told me that years after I'd first read it, and I pretty much said, "It didn't? Wait. It really didn't."
